Frequently Asked Questions
What is epoch time?
Epoch time (also known as Unix time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC. It's a standard way to track time in computing systems.
What's the difference between seconds and milliseconds?
Unix timestamps are typically in seconds, while JavaScript and many modern systems use milliseconds. Seconds have 10 digits (like 1234567890), while milliseconds have 13 digits (like 1234567890000).
Is my data secure?
Yes! All conversions happen directly in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Can I use keyboard shortcuts?
Yes! Press Cmd/Ctrl + K to quickly focus the input field, and Esc to clear focus.
Why do I see different times?
The converter shows both local time (your timezone) and UTC time. The epoch timestamp itself is always in UTC, but it can be displayed in any timezone.

Pro Tips for Working with Timestamps
🎯 Quick Validation
A valid Unix timestamp (seconds) should be 10 digits long for dates between 2001-2286.
⚡ JavaScript Tip
Use Date.now() for milliseconds or Math.floor(Date.now()/1000) for seconds.
🐍 Python Tip
Use time.time() for seconds or int(time.time()*1000) for milliseconds.
💾 Database Tip
Store timestamps as BIGINT for milliseconds or INT for seconds to ensure compatibility.
🌍 Timezone Reminder
Epoch timestamps are always in UTC. Convert to local time only for display purposes.
🔍 Debugging Tip
If you get a date in 1970 or 50,000+ years in the future, check your units (seconds vs milliseconds).
