Frequently Asked Questions
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It is timezone-independent and universally used in programming to represent moments in time as a simple integer.
A 10-digit timestamp is in seconds (e.g., 1700000000). A 13-digit timestamp is in milliseconds (e.g., 1700000000000). JavaScript's Date.now() returns milliseconds; most Unix/Linux tools use seconds.
The Unix epoch is January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC — the reference point from which Unix timestamps are measured. It was chosen when Unix was created and has since become the universal standard across virtually all operating systems and programming languages.
