How do I make a Discord timestamp?
Choose the event date, local time, and source timezone. Select a display format, copy the complete code, and paste it into a Discord message.
Discord timestamp generator
Pick a time. Copy a timestamp. Let Discord handle everyone’s timezone.
How a Discord timestamp works
A Discord timestamp combines Unix seconds with a display format code. The same code is rendered in each reader’s local timezone.
The syntax is <t:UNIX:STYLE>.
Choose a Discord timestamp for your message
Discord displays one timestamp in each reader’s local time. The code follows the pattern <t:UNIX:STYLE>. Set the event date, time, and source timezone above, then paste the generated code into a normal Discord message.
- Announce an event. Use f for a date and time, or F when the weekday matters. The generated code points to one instant for everyone. See all timestamp formats.
- Plan across timezones. Choose the timezone where the event happens and preview another city before you post. Compare event times across timezones.
- Show time remaining. Use R for Discord’s relative wording, such as “in 2 hours”. It updates when viewed but does not send reminders. Create a relative countdown.
The timestamp syntax and display formats follow Discord’s message-formatting reference.

Discord timestamp questions
How do Discord timestamps work?
Discord reads Unix seconds inside <t:seconds:format> and displays that moment in each reader’s timezone and language.
Which Discord timestamp format should I use?
Use f for a date and time, F when the weekday matters, or R for relative time. The format changes the display, not the instant.
Do I need a bot or Discord login?
No. Copy the code and paste it into an ordinary message. This tool does not connect to your Discord account.
