2025-08-11How to Convert a Timestamp to a Time Format
This page is both a short guide and a tiny online tool. Enter a timestamp, pick a format, and get a clean, readable date instantly
Quick Guide (What’s on this page?)
- Timestamp → Time Format tool below.
- Type a Unix timestamp (seconds or milliseconds), choose a target format, and the tool will render the date for you in Local time or UTC.
- You can also paste a Hex-like date pattern (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss) in the custom format field.
- Below the tool, you’ll find a popular colors table section on other pages — you don’t need it here to convert time, but it’s there for quick reference if your layout includes color resources.
Tip: A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds (or milliseconds) since 1970‑01‑01T00:00:00Z (the “Unix epoch”).

Below this tool (in your site’s layout) you may include popular color tables for quick reference — this converter doesn’t require them, but they’re handy for design workflows.
How the Conversion Works (In Plain English)
- Detect seconds vs. milliseconds: If the number is longer than 10 digits, we treat it as milliseconds and divide by 1000.
- Create a Date object: JavaScript turns the epoch seconds into a date.
- Format the parts: We print year, month, day, hours, minutes, and seconds according to your chosen pattern. For ISO we use toISOString().
- Time zone: You can view the result in your local time or switch to UTC.
Supported tokens: YYYY, MM, DD, HH, mm, ss, and MMM for short month names (Jan, Feb, …).
