Frequently asked questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
It's the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC), a common way to store time in software.
Seconds or milliseconds?
Unix timestamps are in seconds. JavaScript uses milliseconds — this tool works in seconds and shows the current epoch for reference.
What is the year 2038 problem?
32-bit systems store timestamps in a signed integer that overflows on January 19, 2038. Modern 64-bit systems are safe for billions of years.
