There are online tools to convert a UNIX timestamp to a human readable date, but maybe you'd like a way of converting timestamps that just uses a command prompt on your Linux computer.

If so, then all you have to do to convert a UNIX timestamp to a normal human readable date is to use the following command:

date -d @1429070593

That's all there is to it. Obviously, you'd need to supply your own timestamp to replace 1429070593 with.

The output will look similar to this:

Wed Apr 15 00:03:13 EDT 2015
