Discord Timestamp Generator
free, no account and nothing to install.
pick a time and i’ll make the <t:…> tags. they show in every reader’s own timezone, so they’re good for events and deadlines.
click any code to copy it, then paste it straight into Discord.
pick a date and time. the seven <t:…> codes and the raw Unix number show up here.
The seven formats
one letter after the timestamp picks the style. leave it off and Discord uses f.
| Code | Style | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| <t:1720000000:t> | Short time | Hours and minutes. |
| <t:1720000000:T> | Long time | Hours, minutes and seconds. |
| <t:1720000000:d> | Short date | Numeric date, in the order the reader uses. |
| <t:1720000000:D> | Long date | Month written out. |
| <t:1720000000:f> | Date & time | The default style if you leave the letter off. |
| <t:1720000000:F> | Full (weekday) | Long date with the weekday. Best for events. |
| <t:1720000000:R> | Relative | A live countdown, then a live count up. |

How it works
How to use
- pick the date and time of your event in your own local time. Discord sorts out everyone else’s.
- click the format you want. <t:…:F> for a full date, <t:…:R> for "in 3 hours".
- paste it into any Discord message. everyone reads it in their own timezone.
About this tool
Discord has dynamic timestamps. a tag like <t:1720000000:F> shows as a full date and time in each reader’s own timezone and locale. post an event with one and nobody has to ask what time that is for them, which is why people use them for raids, premieres, tournaments and deadlines.
the number inside is a Unix timestamp (seconds since 1970), and the letter picks one of seven styles: short and long time, short and long date, two combined styles and R, the live countdown that says "in 2 hours" and later "5 minutes ago". the previews on this page show roughly what each style looks like for you.
timestamps work in plain messages, embeds and channel topics, anywhere Discord renders markdown.
Questions
Why does my timestamp show the wrong time?
The tag is UTC underneath (Unix time). Check you put your own local time in the picker. Discord converts it right for everyone who reads it, you included.
Which format is best for events?
Most servers post two: <t:X:F> for the full date and <t:X:R> straight after it for the live countdown.
Do timestamps update live?
The relative format (R) updates as time goes on. The other formats are fixed text shown in the reader’s timezone.
Can I use these in an embed or bot message?
Yes. The same <t:…> tag works in embed descriptions, fields and normal bot messages.
