Questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
It is the number of seconds since 1 January 1970 at midnight UTC. Computers use it to store dates as one number.
Seconds or milliseconds?
Both work. A 13-digit number is read as milliseconds and a 10-digit number as seconds.
Which time zone is used?
The result is shown in your device's time zone and in UTC.
What happens in 2038?
Old systems that store timestamps as 32-bit numbers overflow on 19 January 2038. This converter is not affected.
