About Unix timestamps
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time) is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It is timezone-independent and universally used in programming.
Seconds vs milliseconds
Unix timestamps in seconds are 10 digits long (e.g. 1700000000). JavaScript's
Date.now() returns milliseconds — 13 digits. This tool detects both automatically.Year 2038 problem
32-bit systems storing Unix time as a signed integer will overflow on January 19, 2038. 64-bit systems can represent dates hundreds of billions of years into the future.
