Date/Time Formatter
Convert timestamps, format dates, and transform between Unix, ISO 8601, and custom date formats
Input
Timestamp, ISO date, or date stringAll Formats
Tips
- Enter a Unix timestamp (seconds), ISO 8601 date, or any parseable date string
- Numeric input is treated as Unix timestamp in seconds (e.g.
1705312200) - Strings containing "T" or "-" are parsed as date strings (e.g.
2024-01-15T10:30:00Z) - Click "Now" to quickly insert the current Unix timestamp

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Datetime Formatter formatting answered
Yes, our date/time formatter is completely free with no registration required. All processing happens in your browser.
We support Unix timestamps (seconds and milliseconds), ISO 8601, RFC 2822, and custom date formats. The tool auto-detects the input format.
Yes. The output shows both UTC and your local timezone for every conversion. You can see the exact time in different zones.
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It is widely used in programming and APIs.
Yes. The output includes relative time descriptions like "2 hours ago" or "in 3 days" for easy human reference.
Unix seconds and milliseconds (auto-detected by magnitude - 10 digits is seconds, 13 is milliseconds), ISO 8601 (RFC 3339 profile: 2026-01-15T10:30:00Z, with offsets and fractional seconds), RFC 2822 (email headers: Fri, 15 Jan 2026 10:30:00 +0000), and a selection of common national formats. Output renders both UTC and your local timezone.
Unix creators picked 1970-01-01T00:00:00 UTC as a round origin for the system clock (documented in early Unix manuals; POSIX codified it). Every Unix timestamp is seconds since that instant - and the 32-bit signed representation overflows on 2038-01-19 (the Y2038 problem), while 64-bit systems are safe for ~292 billion years.
Conversions use the browser's IANA timezone database (the same tzdata operating systems ship) - abbreviations like EST are ambiguous (US, Australian, and Cuban EST differ) so they resolve through explicit offsets in the input or your local zone. DST transitions are computed from tzdata rules, not fixed offsets.
