JavaScript - convert unix timestamp to Date

In this article, we would like to show you how to convert unix timestamp to Date in JavaScript.

Quick solution:

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

const timestamp = 1630564245;     // unix timestamp in seconds
const date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);

console.log(date.toISOString());  // 2021-09-02T06:30:45.000Z

Practical example

In this example, we simply use the Date() constructor and pass timestamp as an argument to convert unix timestamp to the Date object.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

const getDate = (timestamp) => {
	return new Date(timestamp * 1000);
};

// Usage example:

const timestamp = 1630564245;     // unix timestamp in seconds
const date = getDate(timestamp);

console.log(date.toISOString());  // 2021-09-02T06:30:45.000Z

Output:

2021-09-02T06:30:45.000Z
