To get Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) timestamp using javascript we need to use toUTCString() function on Date variable.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function getUTC() {
//Get timestamp in locale
var tDate = new Date();
//Convert timestamp in GMT/UTC format
var utcDate = tDate.toUTCString();
document.getElementById("utc").innerHTML = utcDate;
console.log(utcDate);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="getUTC()">
<div id="utc"></div>
</body>
</html>
⚠️ Note: There is no difference between GMT and UTC time.
