Epoch Converter
About the Epoch Converter
When documentation says store UTC epoch seconds, operators still think in calendar dates-and translating between the two should not require Python one-liners on every ticket. This epoch converter focuses on the classic ten-digit Unix second count from 1 January 1970 UTC, converting to a human date-time and back with two clear buttons. It is deliberately narrower than the full Unix timestamp tool: no millisecond toggle clutter when your schema is strictly INTEGER seconds, ideal for PostgreSQL epoch columns, legacy PHP time() output, and C libraries that speak seconds only. Enter seconds, get a datetime; pick a datetime, get seconds.
How to use it
- To decode: enter epoch seconds in the first field.
- Click Epoch -> Date to view the corresponding date-time.
- To encode: set the date-time picker to your target instant.
- Click Date -> Epoch to generate Unix seconds.
- Copy the value into SQL, config files, or chat.
Good to know
Results are calendar math from the dates you enter. Business-day tools skip weekends when they say so. They do not know local holidays unless the page says they do.
