Why use this tool
- Auto-detects seconds vs milliseconds — no more accidentally dividing by 1000.

- Runs in your browser — no clock skew from a server.
Frequently asked questions
How does it tell seconds from milliseconds?
Any input ≥ 1e11 is treated as milliseconds. That threshold corresponds to year ~5138 in seconds, but only March 1973 in milliseconds — so it correctly classifies every real-world timestamp.
What does "negative timestamp" mean?
Unix timestamps before 1970-01-01 UTC are negative. The tool handles them — try -2208988800 for 1900-01-01.
Need this value in a different timezone?
Use our Timezone Converter — paste the ISO output, then pick source and target zones.
How do I add hours to this timestamp?
Convert it to ISO, then use the Date Calculator in Add mode for calendar arithmetic.
