Frequently Asked Questions: Unix Timestamp Converter
Answers to common questions regarding inputs, calculations, and mathematical methodology.
How do I convert an epoch timestamp in Linux terminal / bash?
On GNU/Linux run 'date -d @1700000000' to format epoch seconds. On macOS / BSD terminal run 'date -r 1700000000'. In Python use 'datetime.fromtimestamp(ts)'.
What is the Year 2038 problem?
Systems storing Unix time as signed 32-bit integers will overflow on January 19, 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC. Modern 64-bit systems and JavaScript numbers will not overflow for billions of years.
How can I tell if a timestamp is in seconds or milliseconds?
10-digit timestamps (e.g. 1700000000) are in seconds; 13-digit timestamps (e.g. 1700000000000) are in milliseconds.
