Frequently asked questions

What is a Unix timestamp?

A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. It's a universal way to represent a point in time as a single integer, widely used in databases, APIs, and server logs.

Seconds or milliseconds — which should I use?

It depends on your platform. Most Unix systems and languages like Python use seconds (10 digits, e.g. 1710600000). JavaScript, Java, and many APIs use milliseconds (13 digits, e.g. 1710600000000). ArcPanel auto-detects and handles both.

What timezone does the converter use?

ArcPanel displays results in both UTC and your local timezone. Unix timestamps are timezone-agnostic — they always represent seconds since the epoch in UTC.

Can I get the current Unix timestamp?

Yes. ArcPanel shows a live-updating current timestamp at the top of the tool. Click to copy it in seconds or milliseconds format — no need to open a terminal or write Date.now().
