Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Unix timestamp?▾
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It's used universally in programming to represent dates and times as a single number.
What is the Year 2038 problem?▾
32-bit systems store Unix timestamps as signed 32-bit integers, which max out at 2,147,483,647 (January 19, 2038, 03:14:07 UTC). After this, the value overflows. Most modern systems use 64-bit timestamps, which last until the year 292 billion.
Seconds or milliseconds?▾
Unix timestamps in seconds have 10 digits (e.g., 1700000000). JavaScript and Java typically use milliseconds (13 digits, e.g., 1700000000000). This tool auto-detects the format.
