Common questions
- Is epoch time the same as Unix time?
- Yes. Epoch time, Unix time, and POSIX time all refer to seconds since the 1970 epoch in UTC.
- How do I convert a date back to epoch time?
- Paste a date or ISO string above (for example 2026-06-01 14:00) and read the “Unix (seconds)” row in the results.
- Why is the epoch January 1, 1970?
- It was chosen by early Unix engineers as a convenient zero point; it has been the standard reference moment for computer timekeeping ever since.
