Pick a date, a time and a time zone, then copy the code — Discord turns it into a date and time that every reader sees in their own local zone. Perfect for announcing events, raids or meetings to a server spread across the world. Runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
How to use it
Set the date and time of your event. They default to right now.
Check the time zone — your own is detected and selected automatically, or pick another.
Press Copy next to the format you want. Paste the code into any Discord message.
What is a Discord timestamp?
A Discord timestamp is a small code you paste into a message that Discord renders as a date and time. It looks like <t:1749465660:F>: the number is a Unix time (seconds since 1 January 1970 UTC) that pins one exact moment, and the letter after the colon chooses the display style. Because the moment is stored in UTC, Discord shows it to each reader in their own time zone — so a single code reads correctly for everyone, with no “that’s 3pm my time” confusion and no daylight-saving mistakes.
The formats
Every style is generated above with a live preview. In short: t short time, T long time, d short date, D long date, f short date + time, F full date + time with weekday, and R a relative “in 2 hours” phrase that updates by itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I put a time in a Discord message?
Pick the date, time and time zone above, copy the code it gives you — it looks like <t:1749465660:F> — and paste it straight into any Discord message, chat or embed. Discord replaces the code with the date and time, and shows it to every reader in their own local time zone, so nobody has to do the maths.
What do the different Discord timestamp formats mean?
The letter after the colon chooses the style. t is a short time (9:41 AM), T a long time (9:41:00 AM), d a short date (06/09/2026), D a long date (June 9, 2026), f a short date and time (June 9, 2026 9:41 AM), F a full date and time with the weekday (Sunday, June 9, 2026 9:41 AM), and R a relative time that counts up or down on its own (in 2 hours, 3 days ago). This tool shows every one with a live preview so you can copy the exact style you want.
Why does the timestamp show a different time for other people?
That is the whole point of a Discord timestamp. The code stores one fixed moment as a Unix time — the number of seconds since 1 January 1970 UTC — and Discord renders it in each reader’s own time zone. So if you set 3 PM London time, someone in New York sees 10 AM and someone in Tokyo sees midnight, all from the same code. It is the reliable way to announce an event time to a server spread across the world.
How do I make a countdown or "in X hours" timestamp?
Use the R (relative) format. Copy the <t:UNIX:R> line from the results and Discord shows a live, self-updating phrase such as “in 2 hours” or “5 minutes ago”, recalculated against each reader’s clock every time they look at it. It is the closest Discord has to a built-in countdown.
What time zone does the generator use?
It detects your own time zone from your device and selects it by default — you can see it labelled below the inputs — and you can switch to any other zone from the list. The moment you pick is converted to a Unix time using that zone’s correct offset for that date, so daylight saving is already handled.
Is the Discord timestamp generator free?
Yes — completely free, with no account or sign-up, and no bot to add to your server. Everything runs in your browser, so the date and time you enter are never uploaded. Copy the code and paste it wherever you like.
