Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC), also known as the Unix epoch.
What's the difference between seconds and milliseconds?
Some systems use seconds (10 digits like 1704067200), others use milliseconds (13 digits like 1704067200000). JavaScript typically uses milliseconds.
Why does my timestamp show the wrong time?
Make sure you're using the correct precision (seconds vs milliseconds) and check if you need local time or UTC.
What's the maximum timestamp supported?
The tool supports dates from 1970 to 2038 for 32-bit timestamps, and much further for 64-bit. Most modern systems use 64-bit.
