Discord timestamps show every person the same moment in their own local time and language. Pick a date and a style below, copy the code, and paste it into any message.
The time updates live for each reader, so an event start reads correctly whether someone is in Tokyo or New York. No more listing five timezones in your announcement.
Uses your local timezone. Discord shows each reader the same moment in their own time.
Pick a date and time
Choose a moment above or use the current time. We turn it into Discord timestamp codes you can copy.
Choose a date and time, or use the current time with one tap.
Compare the seven Discord styles and pick the one that fits, from a short time to a full date.
Copy the timestamp code and paste it into any Discord message. Each reader sees their own local time.
A Discord timestamp is a short code, like <t:1718000000:F>, that the app turns into a real date and time. The number in the middle is the moment in unix seconds, and the letter at the end picks the format. You paste the code, and Discord renders it for each person who reads it.
The clever part is the timezone. Discord shows the time in the local timezone of whoever is looking, in their own language. You set one moment, and everyone sees it correctly without doing any math.
Announcing an event to a server full of people in different countries is where this earns its keep. Write "8pm EST" and half your members have to convert it, and some will get it wrong. Drop in a timestamp and each person reads it in their own time, so nobody misses the start.
The relative style goes one better. It shows a live countdown like "in 3 hours" that keeps ticking, which is perfect for a stream, a drop, or a raid that starts soon.
Short time and long time show only the clock, with or without seconds. Short date and long date show only the day. The two date and time styles combine both, and the long one adds the weekday, which reads well in an announcement.
The relative style is the countdown. Reach for it when the gap from now is the point, and use a full date and time when people need the exact day on the calendar.
Pick the moment above, copy the style you want, and paste it into your announcement. Many servers pair a long date and time for the headline with a relative style underneath, so readers see both the exact slot and the countdown to it.
Timestamps work in messages, embeds, and the built in scheduled events, anywhere you can type. They do not work in a channel name or a server name, since those do not render the code.
Yes. The code is plain text, so it pastes into the Discord mobile app and renders the same as it does on desktop. Generate it here in your phone browser, copy, and switch over to send it.
The usual slip is the timezone of the input. The picker above uses your device timezone, so set the time as it is for you and let Discord handle the conversion for everyone else.
The other one is expecting the relative style to hold still. It updates every time someone looks, which is the whole point of a countdown but a surprise if you wanted a fixed label. Use a date style when you want the time to stay put.
It is a short code like <t:1718000000:F> that Discord turns into a date and time in each reader's local timezone and language.
Yes. You pick one moment and Discord shows it in the local time of whoever reads the message, so nobody has to do timezone math.
Each letter is a format. t and T are times, d and D are dates, f and F mix both, and R shows a relative time like in 2 hours.
Paste it into any Discord message box on desktop or mobile. It renders as a formatted time once you send the message.
The R style counts from the present, so it updates every time someone looks at the message. That keeps countdowns accurate.
Yes. The tool runs in a phone browser and the codes paste straight into the Discord mobile app.
