Date to timestamp

Timezone

ISO 8601 and RFC 2822 work. The timezone above applies when the date has no offset of its own.

Server time

Read from the HTTP Date header, so accurate to about a second at best.

Convert text into every case at once: title case in the APA, AP, Chicago, MLA, Bluebook, AMA and NYT styles, sentence case, upper, lower, camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case and more, each with its own copy button.

Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, lines and more as you type, with estimated reading and speaking time.

Remove duplicate lines from a list or text, keeping the first occurrence. Optionally ignore case and whitespace, or drop blank lines too.

Replace text in two modes: plain find and replace all, or regular expressions with flag controls and capture group references like $1.

Compare two texts and see every added, removed and changed line highlighted, side by side or inline, with the changed words marked within each line. Ignore case, whitespace or blank lines, read a summary of how much changed, and export the result as a unified diff.

Paste a UUID to see what it carries: version, variant, and for time-based versions the exact timestamp, clock sequence and node. Also shows the raw bytes, the 128-bit integer and the URN form.

Decode Base64 to text or encode text to Base64. Paste into the top box, read the result below, and flip the direction with one click. Handles Unicode correctly, reads URL-safe Base64, and shows binary payloads as a hex dump you can download.

Convert between scientific notation and full numbers as you type. Reads 1.23e5, 1.23 × 10^5 and plain numbers, shows the value written out, in normalized scientific notation and in engineering notation, and can round to any number of significant digits.

Sort the lines of a text alphabetically, naturally, by length, by numeric value or shuffled. Reverse the order with a switch, and optionally trim lines, drop blank lines and remove duplicates in the same pass.

Convert a color between HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, HWB, CMYK, OKLCH and OKLAB. Type into any field and the others update as you go, or pick the color visually. Reads CSS color syntax and keeps alpha where the format supports it.

Check two colors against the WCAG contrast rules. Type or pick a text and a background color, read the contrast ratio, see which AA and AAA checks pass, preview real text at the sizes WCAG distinguishes, and get suggested fixes when a check fails.

Create a QR code for text, a link, an email, a phone number, an SMS, Wi-Fi access or a contact card. Set the error correction level, size, margin and colors, then download it as PNG or SVG or copy it straight to the clipboard.

Paste a cron expression and get a plain English explanation, a field by field breakdown and the next times it would run, in your local timezone or UTC. Reads five field crontab syntax, six fields with seconds, names like MON and macros like @daily.

Work out an IPv4 or IPv6 network from an address with a prefix or netmask: network and broadcast addresses, usable host range, subnet mask, wildcard mask and address type. Adjust the prefix with a slider, read the binary breakdown, and split the network into smaller subnets.

Hash text or a file with MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-3, BLAKE2, BLAKE3, CRC32 and more, all computed live as you type. Compare against an expected checksum and copy any digest.

Verify a checksum online: drop a file, paste the expected checksum and see instantly whether they match. The hash type is detected from the checksum itself, covering MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, BLAKE3, CRC-32 and more, and sha256sum lines or whole checksum files can be pasted as-is.

Encode text for use in URLs or decode percent-escaped strings back to readable text. Choose component, full-URL or form encoding, unwrap double-encoded strings, and break a URL into its parts with every query parameter decoded.

Convert Unix timestamps in seconds, milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds to readable dates in your local time, UTC or any timezone, and turn any date back into a timestamp. Shows the live current timestamp and relative time.

Escape text into HTML entities or decode entities back to plain text. Choose named or numeric entities, escape only the unsafe characters or everything outside ASCII, and read the result live.

Paste a JSON Web Token to see its header and payload as formatted JSON, with the token color coded so each part maps to its output. Explains the registered claims, shows expiry as readable dates, flags expired tokens and can verify the signature with a secret or public key.

Compress text or a file with gzip, deflate, brotli or Zstandard and see the size before and after, the compression ratio and how long it took. One click tries every method and recommends the smallest result.

Decompress gzip, deflate, brotli or Zstandard data from a file or pasted Base64 and read the result as text or download it. Detects the format from the magic bytes where possible, with a manual override.

About the Unix Timestamp Converter

This tool converts Unix timestamps to readable dates and dates back to timestamps. Paste a timestamp and it detects on its own whether the number is in seconds, milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds, then shows the moment in your local time, in UTC, as ISO 8601 and RFC 2822, and as relative time like 3 hours ago. Type a date instead and you get the matching timestamp in all four units, each one a click away from your clipboard.

A live clock at the top always shows the current Unix timestamp, and a timezone list renders the converted moment in up to four places around the world at once. There is also a server time check that compares your device's clock against this site's server, useful when a token or cache expiry seems off by a suspicious amount.

What you can do

  • Convert a Unix timestamp to a readable date in local time, UTC or any timezone.
  • Convert seconds, milliseconds, microseconds and nanoseconds, detected automatically from the number of digits.
  • Turn a date into a Unix timestamp, typed as ISO 8601 or RFC 2822 or picked with date and time fields.
  • Copy the current Unix timestamp in seconds or milliseconds.
  • Compare one moment across several timezones side by side.
  • Decode negative timestamps for dates before 1970.
  • See the day of week, day of year and ISO week of a timestamp.
  • Check how far your device's clock drifts from the server.

How to use the Unix Timestamp Converter

  1. 1Paste a timestamp, or press Now to load the current one.
  2. 2Check the detected unit, and override it with the unit picker if the guess is wrong.
  3. 3Read the converted date rows, and copy the format you need.
  4. 4For the reverse direction, type a date or pick one with the fields, choose a timezone, and copy the timestamp in the unit you want.

How the unit detection works

A Unix timestamp counts time since January 1, 1970 UTC, but different systems count in different units. The same moment in late 2023 is 1700000000 in seconds, 1700000000000 in milliseconds and 1700000000000000000 in nanoseconds. The tool guesses from the number of digits: up to 11 digits reads as seconds, 12 to 14 as milliseconds, 15 to 17 as microseconds and anything longer as nanoseconds. That covers every plausible modern value, and the picker under the input lets you force a unit when you know better.

Nanosecond timestamps are longer than JavaScript numbers can hold exactly, so the math runs on exact integers throughout. Fractions work too: 1700000000.25 seconds converts down to the nanosecond.

Dates without a timezone are ambiguous

A string like 2024-02-29 13:45 names a wall clock reading, not a moment: it happens at a different instant in Berlin than in New York. When your input carries no offset, the tool interprets it in the timezone you picked and says so under the input. An explicit offset like +02:00 or a trailing Z always wins. The word now also works as an input.

Daylight saving time creates two odd cases the tool calls out: a wall time that never happens when clocks jump forward, and one that happens twice when they fall back.

About the server time check

The server clock comes from the HTTP Date header of a quick request to this site. That header only carries whole seconds and the network adds travel time, so the comparison is accurate to about a second at best. It is still enough to spot a device clock that is minutes off, a common cause of failing TOTP codes and expired-token errors.
