# Stop Manually Converting Timestamps (Use This Instead)

If you’ve ever worked with APIs or backend logs, you’ve probably seen something like:

1711459200

And then you:

  • Open a new tab
  • Search “timestamp to date”
  • Paste it somewhere

I used to do this multiple times a day while debugging.

So I built a simple tool to fix that.

What it does

  • Convert timestamp → readable date
  • Convert date → timestamp
  • Supports both seconds and milliseconds

Why this is useful

When you're debugging logs or checking API responses, raw timestamps slow you down. Having a quick way to convert both directions saves time and avoids mistakes.

Example

Input:
2024-03-26 00:00:00

Output:

  • Timestamp (seconds): 1711411200
  • Timestamp (milliseconds): 1711411200000

Try it here

I’m building small, useful tools like this consistently.
Would love feedback on what else would help developers in daily workflows.
