Epoch Time Guide

What This Tool Delivers

The Epoch Time Converter provides precise timestamp conversions between Unix epoch format and human-readable dates with support for multiple precision levels. Essential for log analysis, debugging time-sensitive applications, and cross-platform time synchronization.

Real-time bidirectional conversion handles seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, and nanoseconds precision. Perfect for database debugging, API timestamp validation, and system log analysis requiring exact timing correlation.

Seconds: 1700000000 = Nov 15, 2023 10:13:20 UTC
Milliseconds: 1700000000000 (JavaScript Date.now())
  • Multiple precision level support (seconds to nanoseconds)
  • Real-time current timestamp display
  • Bidirectional conversion capabilities
  • Quick preset examples included
  • Copy-to-clipboard functionality

Epoch Time Best Practices

Consistent Precision: Always specify whether timestamps use seconds or milliseconds precision. JavaScript uses milliseconds while Unix systems typically use seconds, causing common integration errors.
Store in UTC: Always store epoch timestamps in UTC to avoid timezone confusion. Convert to local time only for display purposes to maintain data consistency across global systems.
Handle Overflow: Consider timestamp limits for your platform. 32-bit systems have a 2038 limit, while some databases have specific timestamp ranges that must be validated.
Debugging Aid: Use epoch converters for debugging time-related issues in logs, APIs, and databases. Compare timestamps across different systems to identify timing discrepancies.
Programming Examples
JavaScript: Date.now() / 1000
Python: time.time()
PHP: time()
Java: System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000
