Common situations

Start from what you need to do

Recognize the digit length

10 digits usually means Unix seconds. 13 digits usually means milliseconds. 16 digits often represents microseconds in exported systems.

Use batch mode for logs

If you copied many lines from a log or spreadsheet, batch conversion is faster than checking each timestamp separately.

Generate timestamps from local time

When an API expects a timestamp, use the date picker to create a matching value from local date and time.
