-What is a Unix Timestamp?
The Unix timestamp (or Epoch time) is a way of tracking time as a running total of seconds. This count starts at the Unix Epoch on January 1st, 1970 at UTC. Therefore, the Unix timestamp is merely the number of seconds between a particular date and the Unix Epoch. This unified time system is widely used in operating systems, databases, and programming languages because it avoids the complexity of time zones and daylight saving time.

What is the difference between seconds and milliseconds?
Standard Unix time is measured in seconds. However, modern programming languages like JavaScript (and environments like Node.js) natively track time in milliseconds (1/1000th of a second). Our tool automatically detects if your input is in milliseconds by checking the length of the number and adjusts the conversion automatically.
Is my time data sent to a server?
No. This utility relies exclusively on your browser's native JavaScript `Date` object. The conversions from timestamp to human-readable formats are processed entirely client-side, ensuring your data is never logged or tracked.
