About Unix Timestamp Converter

Unix timestamp (also known as Epoch time or POSIX time) is a system for tracking time as a running total of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT).

This tool allows you to convert between Unix timestamps and human-readable date formats. It supports both seconds and milliseconds precision, multiple timezones, and provides detailed date information.

What is Unix Timestamp?

Unix time is a date and time representation widely used in computing. It measures time as the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC).

The timestamp is timezone-independent, making it ideal for storing and comparing dates across different systems and time zones.

Timestamp Limits

The 32-bit signed integer limit for Unix timestamps will be reached on January 19, 2038 (known as the Year 2038 problem or Y2K38).

Modern systems use 64-bit integers which can represent dates far into the future.
