Unix Timestamp Converter
Choose a direction and enter the timestamp or the date and time.
This result is an estimate only. Double-check important figures before relying on them.
How it is calculated
- A timestamp in seconds × 1,000 gives milliseconds, which are converted to a calendar date in UTC
- Malaysia time = UTC + 8 hours
- A date and time in Malaysia is converted to UTC by subtracting 8 hours, then to seconds since the epoch
For differences between dates, use the date difference calculator.
Worked example
Timestamp 1,700,000,000:
- 2023-11-14 22:13:20 UTC
- 2023-11-15 06:13:20 in Malaysia
Why your number may differ
Leap seconds are not counted in Unix time. Very large or very small timestamps may not display in every system.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
The number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, called the epoch. It is a simple way for computers to store a point in time.
How do I tell seconds from milliseconds?
A current timestamp in seconds has 10 digits, and in milliseconds it has 13 digits. This converter reads very large values as milliseconds.
What time zone is Malaysia?
Malaysia Time (MYT) is UTC+8 all year, with no daylight saving.
