The Unix timestamp for right now

This page shows the present moment as epoch time, updating once a second so the number is always current. You get the value in seconds, the larger millisecond figure, and the matching ISO 8601 string in UTC, each with its own copy button so you can grab exactly the form your code expects. When you need to freeze the reading to copy it cleanly, the pause button stops the clock without losing the value. It is the quickest way to answer the everyday developer question of what the epoch time is at this instant.

Why developers reach for this

Logging, cache keys, signed tokens and rate limits all lean on the current epoch value, so having it live and copyable saves opening a console just to print one number.

Frequently asked questions

What does this number count?

The seconds elapsed since the start of 1970 in UTC. It increases by one every second, which is why the display ticks.

Why are there two big numbers?

The first is the count in seconds, the second the same instant in milliseconds. Pick whichever unit your language or API uses.

Can I stop it to copy a value?

Yes. The pause button freezes the clock so you can copy a steady reading, then resume the live update when you are done.
