Timestamp Converter
Read any timestamp — Unix, Active Directory / FILETIME, .NET ticks, Chrome, Apple, Excel — or the time inside a UUID, ULID or ObjectId, across time zones.
How to use
- Paste a number, a date or an ID.
- If the number fits several formats, pick the one your system uses.
- Compare time zones, or paste a second value to get the time between them.

Common questions
How do I convert an Active Directory timestamp?
Paste the value of lastLogonTimestamp, pwdLastSet or accountExpires. It is read as a Windows FILETIME (100-nanosecond intervals since 1601), and 0 or 9223372036854775807 are shown as “never”.
Seconds or milliseconds?
The converter tries every common format and lists each reading that gives a sensible date, so you can pick the one your system uses.
Can I see when a UUID was created?
Yes, for UUID versions 1, 6 and 7, ULIDs and MongoDB ObjectIds, which store their creation time. Random UUIDs (version 4) do not.
Known limitations
- Numbers are read in every plausible format between 1990 and 2100; you choose the right one.
- Leap seconds are ignored, as in Unix time. Precision below a millisecond is shown but not kept in conversions.
- Browser extensions with access to this site can read the page. For sensitive data, use a private window with extensions off. How the lock works
