Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 (UTC). It's a common way to store time in databases and APIs.
Seconds vs milliseconds?
Unix timestamps are traditionally in seconds (10 digits). JavaScript uses milliseconds (13 digits). We handle both!
What timezone is used?
Timestamps are stored in UTC. Displayed times are converted to your local timezone for convenience.
Why use timestamps?
Timestamps are timezone-independent, easy to compare, and take less storage than formatted date strings.
