| PHP | time() |
| Go | time.Now().Unix() |
| Java | Instant.now().getEpochSecond() |

| Ruby | Time.now.to_i |
| Bash | date +%s |
| MySQL | SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(); |
| PostgreSQL | SELECT EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM now())::bigint; |
How to use the Unix Timestamp Converter
- Paste a timestamp: the unit is detected from its length.
- Read it as UTC, local time, ISO 8601 and in the time zone you pick.
- To go the other way, pick a date, a time and a time zone.
- Copy the value you need.

Frequently asked questions
The number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, not counting leap seconds. It is the same everywhere in the world at a given moment, which makes it useful for logs and APIs.
Current timestamps have 10 digits in seconds and 13 in milliseconds. JavaScript’s Date.now() and Java’s System.currentTimeMillis() return milliseconds; PHP’s time() and most Unix tools return seconds.
Systems that store Unix time as a signed 32-bit integer overflow at 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038. Storing timestamps as 64-bit integers avoids it.
No. A timestamp always counts from a moment in UTC. Time zones only matter when you display it as a local date and time.
