Discord Timestamp Generator

Announce a time once and have it show correctly for everyone, in their own time zone. Pick a date and time, then copy the <t:…> code into Discord. All 7 formats with live previews — including the self-updating relative countdown.

How to use a Discord timestamp

  1. Set the date and time above (or hit a preset like “+1 day”).
  2. Copy the code for the format you want — it looks like <t:1750000000:F>.
  3. Paste it into a Discord message and send. It renders as a clean, clickable time that shows in each reader's own time zone.

Perfect for raid times, stream schedules, event announcements, giveaways and countdowns on servers with members across the world — no more “8pm EST (1am UTC, 12pm AEDT…)”.

The 7 Discord timestamp formats

StyleCodeExample output
Short Time<t:T:t>4:30 PM
Long Time<t:T:T>4:30:00 PM
Short Date<t:T:d>06/12/2026
Long Date<t:T:D>June 12, 2026
Short Date/Time default<t:T:f>June 12, 2026 4:30 PM
Long Date/Time<t:T:F>Friday, June 12, 2026 4:30 PM
Relative<t:T:R>in 3 hours

The T in the code is the Unix timestamp (seconds since 1970) — the tool fills that in for you. Omit the trailing :letter and Discord uses Short Date/Time (f).

Why timestamps beat writing the time out

A Discord timestamp encodes one absolute moment. Discord then displays it in each viewer's local time zone, so a single message reads correctly whether someone's in Los Angeles, London or Sydney. The relative format goes further and shows a live “in 2 hours” / “3 days ago” that keeps updating — ideal for reminders that still make sense whenever they're read.

Private by design. The code is generated in your browser from the date you pick — no account, no bot, no server. The site is static.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a Discord timestamp?

Pick a date and time, copy the <t:…> code, and paste it into a Discord message. It renders as a localized time for every reader.

What is the Discord timestamp format?

<t:UNIX:STYLE> — UNIX is epoch seconds, STYLE is one of t, T, d, D, f, F or R. No style defaults to f.

Do they adjust to each person's time zone?

Yes — you encode one moment and Discord shows it in each viewer's local zone automatically.

What does the R (relative) format do?

It shows a live “in 3 hours” / “2 days ago” that updates itself — great for event reminders.

Why isn't my timestamp working?

Include the full code with angle brackets and the trailing :letter, and use Unix seconds (not milliseconds). Timestamps render in sent messages, not the typing preview.
