Unix Timestamp

Date to Unix Timestamp

When mocking databases, writing unit tests, or seeding migrations, developers need precise Unix epoch timestamps. Our Date to Timestamp Converter parses standard human-readable date strings (like "Oct 12 2023" or "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z") and instantly outputs the equivalent integer values in both seconds and milliseconds.

Supported Date Formats

This tool utilizes the robust JavaScript Date.parse() engine. It automatically supports:

  • ISO 8601: 2024-10-31T15:30:00Z
  • RFC 2822: Thu, 31 Oct 2024 15:30:00 GMT
  • Short Formats: 10/31/2024 or 2024/10/31

Note: If no timezone is provided, the tool assumes your local system timezone.
