Frequently asked questions
What is a Unix timestamp?
It's the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 (the Unix epoch), not counting leap seconds. It's a compact, timezone-independent way to store a moment in time.
Does it support milliseconds?
Yes. When converting a timestamp to a date, values with 13 or more digits are treated as milliseconds; shorter values are treated as seconds. Date-to-timestamp shows both.
Which time zone is used?
The date-to-timestamp field interprets your input in your local time zone, then converts to the timezone-independent epoch value.
