How to use

  1. Paste Unix seconds (10 digits), milliseconds (13 digits), or an ISO 8601 date.
  2. Convert. Seconds vs milliseconds are inferred from magnitude.
  3. Use Now for the current instant.
  4. Copy the ISO, Unix seconds, or Unix milliseconds value you need.

Features

  • Detects seconds vs milliseconds from the number’s size.
  • Shows UTC, local time with offset, ISO 8601, and both Unix forms.
  • Parses ISO dates via the JavaScript Date parser.
  • Does not invent a timezone database beyond what the browser provides.
  • Local processing only.

Examples

Unix seconds
1717200000

Values with 13 or more digits, or magnitude ≥ 1e12, are treated as milliseconds.

FAQ

Seconds or milliseconds?

Unix time in APIs is usually seconds. JavaScript Date.now() is milliseconds. Alphzen treats |n| ≥ 1e12 (or 13+ digit integers) as milliseconds.

Which timezone is “local”?

Your browser’s current timezone. UTC is also shown so a teammate in another zone can compare.

Leap seconds?

JavaScript Date does not model leap seconds. Neither does this tool.

About this tool

A Unix timestamp is seconds (or milliseconds) since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Logs, JWTs, and databases mix the two units. This converter makes the unit explicit.

ISO 8601 is the usual interchange form. Alphzen shows both so you can paste into a query or a config without guessing the epoch scale.

Scheduling is a different problem — use the Cron Expression Generator for recurring jobs.
