About the tool:

Welcome to our Epoch Converter tool! This page provides a powerful and easy-to-use interface for converting epoch time across various formats and converting DateTime with timezone to different epoch formats. Whether you`'`re a developer, data analyst, or simply curious about time representations, our tool will help you understand and convert between different epoch types and DateTime formats seamlessly.

What is Epoch Time?

Epoch time, or Unix time, is a system for tracking time that counts seconds from a specific starting point—known as the `"`epoch.`"` This starting point is often January 1, 1970 (known as the Unix epoch). Epoch time is widely used in computing and data processing due to its simplicity and consistency.

Different Epoch Types and Their Conversions

Our Epoch Converter supports several epoch types. Each type has its own base and format, and understanding these can help you convert and compare time data accurately. Here`'`s a brief overview of each epoch type supported by our tool:

1. UNIX Epoch

  1. Description: The UNIX epoch is the most common form of epoch time, representing the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, at midnight UTC.
  2. Conversion Formula: Epoch time is represented directly as seconds since the UNIX epoch (January 1, 1970, at midnight UTC).

2. WebKit/Chrome Timestamp

  1. Description: This timestamp format is used by WebKit-based browsers like Chrome. It counts milliseconds since January 1, 1601.
  2. Conversion Formula: 
    WebKit timestamp = (UNIX Epoch * 1000) + 11644473600000

3. Cocoa Core Data Timestamp

  1. Description: Used by Apple`'`s Cocoa framework, this timestamp counts nanoseconds since January 1, 2001.
  2. Conversion Formula: 
    Cocoa timestamp = (UNIX Epoch * 1000000000) + 978307200000000000

4. Mac HFS+ Timestamp

  1. Description: Used by Apple`'`s HFS+ file system, this timestamp counts seconds since January 1, 1904.
  2. Conversion Formula: 
    Mac HFS+ timestamp = (UNIX Epoch * 10000000) + 20828448000000000

5. SAS Timestamp

  1. Description: The SAS timestamp counts milliseconds since January 1, 1960.
  2. Conversion Formula: 
    SAS timestamp = (UNIX Epoch * 1000) + 2209161600000

6. Seconds Since Year 0

  1. Description: Counts seconds since a custom base date or January 1, 0000 if no custom base is set.
  2. Conversion Formula: 
    Seconds Since Year 0 = (Epoch - Base Date) / 1000

Convert DateTime with Timezone to Epoch Formats

In addition to converting epoch time, our tool also allows you to convert DateTime values with timezone information into various epoch formats. This feature is especially useful for applications that require precise time conversions across different time zones.

How to Use the DateTime to Epoch Converter

  1. Enter DateTime and Timezone: Provide the DateTime value and select the appropriate timezone.
  2. Select Epoch Type: Choose the epoch type you want to convert to using the dropdown menu.
  3. Convert: Click the convert button to see the DateTime converted to all supported epoch formats. Results will be displayed with details about each epoch type.

Example Code for DateTime to Epoch Conversion

Here`'`s an example of how you might convert a DateTime with timezone to various epoch formats using JavaScript:

/// javascript

// Example DateTime
const dateTime = new Date('2024-01-01T00:00:00Z');
const timezoneOffset = dateTime.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;

// Conversions:
const unixEpoch = Math.floor((dateTime.getTime() - timezoneOffset) / 1000);
const webkitTimestamp = unixEpoch * 1000 + 11644473600000;
const cocoaTimestamp = unixEpoch * 1000000000 + 978307200000000000;
const macHfsPlusTimestamp = unixEpoch * 10000000 + 20828448000000000;
const sasTimestamp = unixEpoch * 1000 + 2209161600000;

FAQs

1. What is the significance of converting DateTime with timezone to epoch?

Converting DateTime with timezone to epoch helps in standardizing time data across different systems and time zones. It simplifies comparisons and calculations by providing a consistent time reference.

2. How do I handle different time zones during conversion?

Ensure you provide the correct timezone information when converting DateTime to epoch. The tool handles timezone adjustments to ensure accurate conversion.

3. Can I use custom base dates for conversion?

Yes, the tool supports converting to various epoch formats with custom base dates, allowing you to tailor conversions to your specific needs.

Conclusion

Our Epoch Converter tool simplifies converting epoch time between various formats and DateTime with timezone to epoch formats. Whether you`'`re working with UNIX timestamps, WebKit timestamps, or any other epoch type, our tool provides accurate and efficient conversions to fit your needs.
