Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC (the ‘Unix epoch’). It’s used in programming and databases because it’s a single, timezone-independent integer that represents any moment in time.
What is the Unix timestamp for today?
You can see the current timestamp in the ‘Current Time’ tab above. It updates every second. The timestamp for any future date can be calculated using the Date → Timestamp tab.
