About Us — Real Epoch Converter

Who we are

Real Epoch Converter started with a simple frustration: every timestamp converter we tried was slow, full of ads, or uploaded our data to a server we did not control. We build tools the way we want to use them — fast, private, and honest. This site is that tool, and nothing more. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking scripts. Open the page and it simply works.

What this tool does

This is a Unix epoch converter that works in both directions. Paste a timestamp and read the date in your local timezone or UTC. Type a date and get the corresponding epoch time in seconds, milliseconds, or microseconds. It also converts whole batches of timestamps at once, generates code snippets for common programming languages, and keeps a live ticking Unix clock on the home page.

How it works

Everything runs directly in your browser. When you convert a value, the calculation happens locally on your machine — your timestamps and dates never leave your device, so there is nothing for us to store, sell, or accidentally expose. The only thing saved is a small preference like your chosen timezone or dark mode, stored in your browser's own local storage. That is the entire footprint of the site.

Why it is free

We believe a timestamp converter is infrastructure — the kind of small, dependable utility that should just exist and stay out of the way. It costs us almost nothing to run, so we keep it free, with no paywall and no premium tier. If the tool saves you time, that is the point. There is no newsletter to join and no data to harvest, and there never will be.

Made for the problems you actually hit

• Reading the numbers in stat, dmesg, logs, and database dumps.
• Deciding whether an API value is seconds, milliseconds, or microseconds.
• Converting timestamps between UTC, your local timezone, IST, or any IANA timezone.
• Turning a whole spreadsheet of timestamps into readable dates in one step.
