What is Epoch Time?
The Unix epoch (or Unix time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC).
| Human-Readable Time | Seconds |
|---|---|
| 1 Hour | 3600 Seconds |
| 1 Day | 86400 Seconds |
| 1 Week | 604800 Seconds |
| 1 Month (30.44 days) | 2629743 Seconds |
| 1 Year (365.24 days) | 31556926 Seconds |

- Learners: Understand Unix time and its applications.
This tool combines modern design, responsive functionality, and powerful features, making it an essential utility for anyone working with time data.
How It Works?
This tool is designed to make working with Unix epoch time easy. Here's a simple explanation:
1. Current Unix Epoch Time
- The Unix epoch is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.
- The tool uses your computer's current time to calculate this in real-time.
2. Epoch to Human-Readable Date
- Converts a given epoch time into a regular date and time.
- Example:
- Epoch Input:
1609459200(seconds). - Result:
2021-01-01 00:00:00(UTC).
- Epoch Input:
- Calculation:
- Multiply the epoch by 1000 (if in seconds) to get milliseconds.
- Use this value to create a new date.
3. Human-Readable Date to Epoch
- Converts a regular date (e.g.,
2021-01-01 00:00:00) to epoch time. - Example:
- Date Input:
2021-01-01 00:00:00. - Result:
1609459200(seconds).
- Date Input:
- Calculation:
- Parse the input date into milliseconds.
- Divide the result by 1000 to get seconds.
4. Seconds to Days, Hours, Minutes
- Converts seconds into days, hours, and minutes.
- Example:
- Input:
90061seconds. - Result:
1 Day, 1 Hour, 1 Minute, 1 Second.
- Input:
5. Calendar Selection
- Pick a date from the calendar to get the epoch time for that day.
- Example:
- Date Selected:
2022-01-01. - Epoch Time:
1640995200.
- Date Selected:
6. Start/End of Day, Month, Year
- Get the epoch time for the start or end of a specific day, month, or year.
- Example:
- Start of day:
2022-01-01 00:00:00→1640995200. - End of day:
2022-01-01 23:59:59→1641081599.
- Start of day:
This tool uses simple formulas and JavaScript functions to handle all these conversions accurately and efficiently!
