Timestamp Converter

ISO 8601 ↔ Unix ↔ relative: turn any log line into a real time.

Why this exists

Logs come in every imaginable timestamp format. Reading them as wall-clock time, instantly, is most of debugging.

How to use
  1. Paste a timestamp, ISO 8601, Unix seconds, Unix ms, RFC 2822, or 'Wed, 27 May 2026 12:00 +0000'.
  2. Output: UTC, your local zone, Unix seconds, Unix ms, and a relative ('3 hours ago').
  3. Now button: drop the current time in if you just need 'right now' as an epoch.
