Timestamp ConverterUnix/Linux timestamps are the number of seconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 GMT (referred to as the Epoch). They are much easier to programmatically manipulate than date/time strings. For example, if you need to refer to 10 days from today, it is easier to add (10 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds) seconds to the current timestamp than it is to program all that "30 days hath September, April, June and November" horsepuckey.

Leave the fields empty for the current time or enter a timestamp or date string below, then click a button.
