## How it works

Convert technical timestamps (Unix Epoch) into human-readable date and time information.

Enter a Unix timestamp to instantly see the corresponding date and time. Likewise, you can choose any date to calculate the associated timestamp (seconds since 01.01.1970). The tool thus assists you in troubleshooting log files or in database development.

Automatically detects timestamp resolutions (seconds vs milliseconds). Converts epoch values into local ISO and UTC date strings.
