How to Convert a Unix Timestamp
Converting a Unix timestamp is instant once you know which unit you have. Here is the reliable way to do it.
Paste the number
Enter the timestamp. The converter interprets it and shows the date in ISO and local form. If the year looks absurd, you probably have the wrong unit.
Mind the unit
Ten digits is seconds; thirteen is milliseconds. If a "2024" date comes out as "1970" or far in the future, switch units and convert again.
