How it works

Paste a timestamp and the tool detects whether it is in seconds or milliseconds and shows the date in your time zone, in UTC, in ISO 8601 and how long ago (or until) it is. The other way around, pick a date and time and get its timestamp.

At the top you see the current timestamp updating every second, ready to copy.
