Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds (or milliseconds) elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It is widely used in programming to represent points in time.
Seconds vs milliseconds - which should I use?
Most Unix timestamps are in seconds. JavaScript Date objects use milliseconds internally. Check your data source to determine which format it uses.
What timezone does the output use?
The date output is shown in UTC. The current timestamp counter always reflects your system clock.
