The application needs exactly to inputs for converting a timestamp into UTC and localtime or localtime or UTC into an unixt timestamp.

Select first a timezone (first rectangle on the screenshot) of your choice and then fill in into one of the 3 fields for time (lower rectangle). Click on the button right of the timefield where you filled in your time.

All 3 fields will be calculated and filled out.

With a click on the reset button all 3 fields for time will be cleared.

Basically a click on “Reset” is not needed if you need another time calculated refill the field of your choice and click on the button right of it. All 3 timefields will be recalculated.

Hints:

  • Be aware, that the field for Unixtime accept only numbers from 0 - 9 and a max value of 99999999999 (which is date and time 5138-11-16 09:46:39 UTC!). After this date somebody else has to take care. The minimum time for this field is 1.

  • The entryfields for local time and UTC accepting only numbers and characters for the combined ISO datetime-format. For more information of this format see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

  • No milliseconds are used in timefields!
