Date to Timestamp

What is Unix Epoch Time?

The Unix Timestamp (or Epoch time) is a system for tracking time that counts the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC.

  • 0 = 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
  • 1672531200 = 2023-01-01 00:00:00 UTC

The Year 2038 Problem

Similar to the Y2K bug, the Year 2038 problem (Y2K38) impacts 32-bit systems where the timestamp is stored as a signed integer. The maximum value a 32-bit signed integer can hold is 2,147,483,647.

Critical Date

On January 19, 2038, at 03:14:07 UTC, 32-bit clocks will overflow and interpret the date as December 13, 1901.
