The Unixtime is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds (in ISO 8601: 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z). The converter on this page converts timestamps in seconds, milliseconds and microseconds to readable dates. E.g.

UNIXTIMESTAMP VALUE:

1506285345

TIMESTAMP VALUE:

2017-09-25 01:32:25
