Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (epoch time) is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It is a universal way to represent a point in time as a single number, widely used in programming and databases.
What is the difference between seconds and milliseconds timestamps?
Traditional Unix timestamps are in seconds (10 digits, e.g., 1700000000). JavaScript and some APIs use milliseconds (13 digits, e.g., 1700000000000). This tool handles both formats.
What is the Year 2038 problem?
Systems storing Unix timestamps as 32-bit signed integers will overflow on January 19, 2038. Modern systems use 64-bit integers, which can represent dates billions of years into the future.
