Just make sure to multiply by the right factor:

Micro: multiply by 1000000 (which is 10 power 6)

Milli: multiply by 1000 (which is 10 power 3)

This is what it should look like in Dart:

var date = new DateTime.fromMicrosecondsSinceEpoch(timestamp * 1000000);

Or

var date = new DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(timestamp * 1000);

meh  just use https   github com andresaraujo timeago dart library  it does all the heavy-lifting for you    EDIT   From your question  it seems you wanted relative time conversions  and the timeago library enables you to do this in 1 line of code  Converting Dates isn t something I d choose to implement myself  as there are a lot of edge cases  amp  it gets fugly quickly  especially if you need to support different locales in the future   More code you write   more you have to test   import  package timeago timeago dart  as timeago   final fifteenAgo   DateTime now   subtract new Duration minutes  15    print timeago format fifteenAgo       15 minutes ago print timeago format fifteenAgo  locale   en short        15m print timeago format fifteenAgo  locale   es         Add a new locale messages timeago setLocaleMessages  fr   timeago FrMessages         Override a locale message timeago setLocaleMessages  en   CustomMessages      print timeago format fifteenAgo       15 min ago print timeago format fifteenAgo  locale   fr        environ 15 minutes   to convert epochMS to DateTime  just use     final DateTime timeStamp   DateTime fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch 1546553448639

If you are using firestore  and not just storing the timestamp as a string  a date field in a document will return a Timestamp  The Timestamp object contains a toDate   method   Using timeago you can create a relative time quite simply    ago Timestamp t      return timeago format t toDate     en short       build       return  Text  ago document  mytimestamp           Make sure to set  firestore settings timestampsInSnapshotsEnabled  true   to return a Timestamp instead of a Date object

All of that above can work but for a quick and easy fix you can use the time formatter package  Using this package you can convert the epoch to human-readable time  String convertTimeStamp timeStamp     Pass the epoch server time and the it will format it for you     String formatted   formatTime timeStamp  toString       return formatted      Then you can display it Text convertTimeStamp  createdTimeStamp      lt  1 second    quot Just now quot  up to  lt  730 days    quot 1 year quot   Here you can check the format of the output that is going to be displayed  Formats

Your timestamp format is in fact in Seconds  Unix timestamp  as opposed to microseconds  If so the answer is as follows  Change  var date   new DateTime fromMicrosecondsSinceEpoch timestamp    to var date   DateTime fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch timestamp   1000

if anyone come here to convert firebase Timestamp here this will help Timestamp time  DateTime fromMicrosecondsSinceEpoch time microsecondsSinceEpoch

Assuming the field in timestamp firestore is called timestamp  in dart you could call the toDate   method on the returned map     Map from firestore    Using flutterfire package hence the returned data   Map lt String  dynamic gt  data   documentSnapshot data    DateTime  timestamp   data  timestamp   toDate

To convert Firestore Timestamp to DateTime object just use  toDate   method  Example  Timestamp now   Timestamp now    DateTime dateNow   now toDate     As you can see in docs
