Everything time-related that people search for online, in one place. Convert Unix timestamps to human-readable dates, translate between timezones, count business days across US federal holidays, figure out what day of the week a date fell on, and run countdowns to a future moment.

Two computer-science details that catch most people: Unix timestamps come in seconds (10 digits) and milliseconds (13 digits) — JavaScript uses milliseconds, most Unix command-line tools use seconds, and mixing them up is a common bug. Our Timestamp Converter auto-detects and shows both. Second: dates arithmetic across DST transitions and leap years is genuinely hard; our Date Difference Calculator uses proper calendar-correct math rather than dividing millisecond differences.

For scheduling jobs (cron expressions), setting up countdown timers, or figuring out how many working days remain until a project deadline, pick the specific tool from the list below.

Frequently asked

What is a Unix timestamp?

The number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970 — the Unix epoch. Some systems (JavaScript, some databases) use milliseconds instead. Our Timestamp Converter auto-detects which one you pasted and shows both.

How do I calculate business days between two dates?

Use Date Difference in "Business days (US)" mode. It excludes weekends and the 11 US federal holidays automatically (with observed-day shifts). Add company or regional holidays as an extra list.

What is ISO 8601?

The international standard for representing dates and times as strings — e.g. 2026-08-19T14:30:00Z. Universally understood by machines, unlike locale-specific formats like "8/19/26" (which means different things in the US and Europe).

What is the difference between UTC, GMT, and Z?

For most practical purposes, all three mean the same thing: the time in the Prime Meridian timezone without any DST offset. Z is the shortcut used in ISO 8601 timestamps ("Zulu time" in military parlance).

How do I convert working days to calendar days?

Multiply by 7/5 (each work week has 7 calendar days but 5 working days). 20 working days ≈ 28 calendar days. Use the Date Difference Calculator for precise per-date math.

What day of the week was a specific date?

Use the Weekday Finder — enter any date and it returns the day of the week. Works for past and future dates using the Gregorian calendar.
