CONVERTER

Epoch milliseconds to date

Convert a 13-digit millisecond epoch timestamp (like JavaScript’s Date.now) to a readable date. Free two-way converter.

JavaScript and many APIs use milliseconds since 1970 — a 13-digit number. Paste one here to get the human date in UTC and local time. It is the same tool that handles second-based timestamps.

Milliseconds vs seconds

A 13-digit value is milliseconds (Date.now(), java.time, many logs); a 10-digit value is seconds (classic Unix time). If your date lands in 1970, you fed milliseconds into a seconds converter or vice versa — the tool auto-handles both, but knowing which you have avoids confusion.

UTC and local

The millisecond timestamp is UTC. The converter shows both UTC and your local time so you can cross-check against the wall clock. Keep comparisons in UTC and localize only for display.
