Frequently asked questions

Is your timestamp in seconds or milliseconds?
10-digit timestamps are usually seconds (Unix epoch); 13-digit are milliseconds (JavaScript Date.now). The tool autodetects the most likely interpretation.
What is epoch time?
The number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. It's the most common way computers store and exchange dates because it's timezone-independent.
