About Us. Real Epoch Converter.
Real Epoch Converter is a free online epoch converter built by developers, for developers.
Who we are
Real Epoch Converter is a free online converter for Unix timestamps and the specialist formats that show up next to them in logs, databases, and IDs. It is built and run from Junagadh, Gujarat, India. No accounts, no sign-up, and no paywall: open the page and it works.
Who maintains this site
The site is maintained by the Real Epoch Converter team. Each technical page shows a Last reviewed date in its footer, and every conversion and epoch constant is described against its source specification on the methodology page. If you spot something wrong, outdated, or missing, please tell us via the contact page. That is the fastest way to reach the people who can fix it.
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. The timestamps and dates you enter 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 guarantee covers conversion input specifically: the analytics and advertising scripts on the site, and the contact form, are separate systems that do transmit data, as described in the privacy policy.
Why it is free
The tool itself is free, with no paywall and no premium tier. To keep it that way, the site displays unobtrusive advertising and uses analytics to understand which pages are useful. Conversions never leave your browser, so there is nothing about them to sell. See the privacy policy for exactly what is collected.
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.
If you have feedback, a bug report, or an idea for a missing feature, we would love to hear it. See the contact page for the fastest way to reach us.
