What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC — known as the Unix epoch. It is timezone-independent and used universally in programming, databases, and APIs.
Milliseconds vs seconds
Most Unix timestamps are in seconds (10 digits). JavaScript's Date.now() returns milliseconds (13 digits). This tool handles both automatically.
