How do I convert a date to Unix epoch?

Enter year, month, day, hour, minute, and second, pick a timezone, then convert. The result is shown in seconds and milliseconds.

Does this support IST, PST, GMT, and AEST?

Yes. Choose any IANA timezone in the dropdown — including Asia/Kolkata (IST), America/Los_Angeles (PST), GMT/UTC, and Australia/Sydney (AEST) — and the converted date updates instantly.

Is the epoch converter free?

Yes. It runs entirely in your browser with no signup, no rate limits, and no data sent to a server for conversion.

Epoch converter — Unix timestamp to date

Q: What is an epoch converter?

An epoch converter turns Unix timestamps (seconds or milliseconds since January 1, 1970 UTC) into human-readable dates, and converts dates back into Unix timestamps.

Q: How do I convert epoch to date?

Paste the Unix timestamp into the Epoch to Date field. The tool auto-detects seconds vs milliseconds and shows GMT, local, and your selected timezone (IST, PST, AEST, etc.).

Convert Unix timestamps to human-readable dates and back — with full timezone support. Ideal for debugging APIs, log files, database fields and scheduled jobs.

Understanding Unix timestamps and timezones

Unix is one of the most popular operating systems in the world. At its core it operates with a time system based on a Unix timestamp — the number of seconds that have passed since the Unix Epoch: January 1, 1970 (UTC).

What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp is a number that represents the exact number of seconds since the Unix Epoch. The timestamp for January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC is 0.

Example — The Unix timestamp for September 24, 2024 14:42:45 UTC is 1727210565.

How does it work?

Unix timestamps count the number of seconds elapsed since the epoch. They are timezone-independent, which means the timestamp for the same moment is identical regardless of the timezone you're in. When converting to a human-readable form, however, you must apply the right timezone.

Timezones & impact

Timezones represent geographical areas where local time is standardized. Unix timestamps are based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and are not affected by timezones. When you display a timestamp to a user, however, you must apply their local timezone offset.

Example —GMT+05:30 is India Standard Time (IST). When it is 12:00 PM UTC, local time in IST is 5:30 PM.
