Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Unix timestamp and how does it work?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It provides a standardized way to represent time across systems and timezones.
What's the difference between Unix timestamp and milliseconds?
Standard Unix timestamps use seconds (10 digits), while JavaScript and some systems use milliseconds (13 digits). The tool automatically detects and converts between both formats.
How does timezone conversion work?
The tool uses IANA timezone identifiers (e.g., America/New_York) to accurately convert timestamps while accounting for daylight saving time and regional time rules.
What timestamp formats are supported?
Supports Unix (seconds/milliseconds), ISO 8601, RFC 2822, and custom formats. Auto-detection identifies the most likely format from input patterns.
Can I process multiple timestamps at once?
Yes, enable batch processing mode and enter one timestamp per line. The tool will process all timestamps and show results or errors for each input.
