Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my timestamp is in seconds or milliseconds?
By its length. A current second-based timestamp is 10 digits; milliseconds is 13. The converter detects this automatically, and you can override it if the value is unusual.
Why does my timestamp show 1 January 1970?
Because it is zero, or very close to it — which usually means the value was empty, null, or failed to parse before reaching the converter.
Can I convert a whole column of timestamps?
Yes. Paste one per line into batch mode and each is converted separately, which is the fastest way to make a log file readable.
Which format should I use for logs?
ISO 8601 with an explicit UTC offset. It sorts lexicographically, is unambiguous internationally, and every log processing tool understands it.
Dates and times are calculated in your browser using its built-in IANA time zone database. Nothing you enter is transmitted.
