FAQ: Convert Timestamp to Date

What is the difference between a Unix timestamp and a normal date?

Unix timestamps are numeric representations of time (seconds since 1970), while normal dates are formatted strings like 2024-01-01 00:00:00.

Can a timestamp be negative?

Yes. Negative timestamps represent dates before January 1, 1970.

Do timestamps include time zones?

No. Timestamps are always in UTC. Time zone adjustments must be handled separately.

How do I convert milliseconds to seconds?

Just divide the 13-digit timestamp by 1000. For example, 1717027200000 / 1000 = 1717027200.
