Time Intelligence
What is the Epoch?
The Unix Epoch is January 1st, 1970 (00:00:00 UTC). Most computer systems measure time as the number of seconds that have passed since this moment.
Milliseconds vs. Seconds
While standard Unix timestamps use seconds (10 digits), Javascript often uses milliseconds (13 digits). Our tool helps you identify which one you're using.
Frequently Asked Questions
