Pandas library’s to_datetime method easily converts UNIX timestamp to readable date format in Python.

Epoch, also known as Unix timestamps, is the number of seconds (not milliseconds!) that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 GMT.

import pandas as pd
df['time']=pd.to_datetime(df['time'], unit='ms')
