What is Date to Unix Time Converter?
Date to Unix Time produces the seconds-or-milliseconds-since-epoch integer for any date you pick. Useful when seeding test data, building cache keys, or computing expiry times for tokens and signed URLs.
Why use this tool?
- Your data stays private — all processing happens locally in the browser
- No telemetry, no tracking pixels, no third-party scripts
- Open-and-go: bookmark the page once and never look for an alternative
- Round-trips cleanly — convert there and back without losing precision or fidelity
- Strict and lenient parser modes for handling messy real-world data
How to use
- Pick a date and time using the date-time input
- Choose seconds (10-digit) or milliseconds (13-digit) for the output
- Copy the Unix timestamp into your code, database, or API call
- Use "Now" to quickly grab the current timestamp
Examples
Token expiry
Need a JWT to expire 1 hour from now? Pick the future time, grab the seconds timestamp, put it in the `exp` claim.
Database seed data
Create test records with predictable created_at values by computing fixed timestamps for known dates.
Common use cases
- Computing token / session expiry timestamps
- Seeding test data with controlled timestamps
- Building cache keys or signed-URL signatures
- Bridging human-readable dates to systems that store ints
Troubleshooting
- Output off by my timezone.
- The input is interpreted in your local timezone. To enter a UTC time, set your input to the UTC value or use a timezone-aware date string.
