Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC (the Unix epoch). It's a universal way to represent time in computing.
What is the Year 2038 problem?
32-bit systems store Unix timestamps as signed integers, maxing out at 2,147,483,647 (January 19, 2038). After that, the timestamp overflows. Most modern systems use 64-bit integers, which last billions of years.
Is Unix timestamp affected by time zones?
No. Unix timestamps are always in UTC. The same moment in time has the same Unix timestamp regardless of your timezone. Time zone conversion happens when displaying the timestamp.
