Tips & Best Practices

1
If a converted date looks like it's from the year 1970, your timestamp is likely in seconds but the tool expects milliseconds (or vice versa). Check the length!
2
Use this tool to debug issues with JWT expiration times (the 'exp' claim is a Unix timestamp).
3
Timestamps in seconds are typically 10 digits long, while millisecond timestamps are 13 digits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Unix Timestamp?

It is a system for describing a point in time, defined as the number of seconds (or milliseconds) that have elapsed since midnight on January 1, 1970, UTC.

Does the tool handle timezone differences?

Yes, when converting a timestamp, it displays both the absolute UTC time and the equivalent time adjusted for your computer's local timezone.

Why is my date showing up as the year 54,000?

You likely pasted a timestamp in milliseconds (13 digits) while the tool was set to interpret it as seconds.

Is the current time generated based on my computer or a server?

The 'Current Epoch' is generated using your browser's system clock, so ensure your device's time is accurate.
