ISO 8601 timestamp converter (Unix too)

Convert between a Unix timestamp (seconds or milliseconds, auto-detected) and an ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 date-time in UTC — the exact same timestamp format SkedCast’s own /v1 API sends and accepts on every response and request body. Enter either form and see the other computed instantly, useful for reading a log line, a database value, or debugging an API request.

Convert your ISO 8601 timestamp

Seconds or milliseconds — auto-detected by length.

The same format SkedCast's own /v1 API uses for every timestamp.

Unix seconds

1700000000

Unix milliseconds

1700000000000

ISO 8601 (UTC)

2023-11-14T22:13:20.000Z

How to use the timestamp converter

  1. Enter a Unix timestamp. Type a number of seconds or milliseconds; the unit is auto-detected by length.
  2. Or enter an ISO date-time. Type an ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 string instead, if that’s what you have.
  3. Read the converted forms. See the Unix seconds, Unix milliseconds and ISO 8601 (UTC) forms together.
  4. Use whichever form you need. Copy the specific format your code, log or API call expects.

Worked examples

A well-known reference instant

1700000000 (seconds) converts to 2023-11-14T22:13:20.000Z — the same instant also written as 1700000000000 in milliseconds.

Auto-detecting the Unix unit

A 10-digit number like 1700000000 is read as seconds; a 13-digit number like 1700000000000 is read as milliseconds — the tool picks the right unit by magnitude automatically.

ISO 8601 timestamp converter FAQ

How does it know if my number is seconds or milliseconds?
By magnitude — a value under roughly 100 billion is treated as seconds, and anything larger is treated as milliseconds.
What timestamp format does SkedCast’s own API use?
ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 in UTC, on every request and response — the exact same format this converter’s ISO output uses.
What is the Unix epoch?
January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC — timestamp 0 in this converter, the reference point every Unix timestamp counts forward from.
Does it handle dates before 1970?
Yes — a negative Unix timestamp represents a date before the epoch, and the converter handles it the same way as a positive one.
Does it store or send my input anywhere?
No — every conversion happens entirely in your browser using the platform’s own real Date parsing, nothing sent to a server.
Why does the ISO output always end in Z?
Because the output is always in UTC, and "Z" is the standard ISO 8601 marker for UTC (zero offset from Coordinated Universal Time).
