How it works

Enter a date and time or select a preset to generate Discord-formatted timestamps. Discord uses a special syntax with angle brackets and format codes to display timestamps that automatically adjust to each user's timezone.

Choose from Discord's timestamp styles: short time, long time, short date, long date, long date + time, relative time, or full date + time. Each style displays differently in Discord chat.

Copy the formatted timestamp code and paste it directly into Discord messages. When sent, Discord renders it as a clickable timestamp that shows the time in each viewer's local timezone.

When You'd Actually Use This

Event Announcements

Schedule Discord events with timestamps that show correct local time for all members.

Gaming Sessions

Organize gaming sessions across time zones with timestamps everyone can understand.

Community Meetings

Schedule server meetings, AMAs, or town halls with timezone-aware timestamps.

Countdown Messages

Use relative timestamps ("in 3 hours") for countdowns to launches or releases.

Support Tickets

Reference timestamps in support discussions that work for global support teams.

Bot Responses

Format bot message timestamps consistently with Discord's native timestamp style.

What to Know Before Using

Discord syntax: Timestamps use format: <t:TIMESTAMP:STYLE>. The timestamp is Unix seconds, style is a single letter code.

Style codes: t=short time, T=long time, d=short date, D=long date, f=default (date+time), F=full, R=relative.

Timezone automatic: Discord timestamps automatically display in each viewer's local timezone. No manual conversion needed.

Clickable timestamps: Sent timestamps are clickable, showing a tooltip with full date/time and adding to calendar.

Seconds required: Discord uses Unix seconds (not milliseconds). Ensure you're using 10-digit timestamps.

Common Questions

What are Discord timestamp styles?

t=4:20 PM, T=4:20:00 PM, d=01/15/2024, D=January 15, 2024, f=Jan 15, 2024 4:20 PM, F=Monday, January 15, 2024 4:20 PM, R=3 months ago.

How do I make a relative timestamp?

Use style 'R'. <t:1705312200:R> displays as "3 months ago" or "in 2 hours" depending on when it's viewed.

Why use Discord timestamps?

They automatically convert to each user's timezone. Perfect for international communities where members are in different time zones.

Can I edit timestamps after sending?

No. Edit the message and change the timestamp code. The displayed time updates when the message is edited.

What timestamp format does Discord use?

Unix timestamp in seconds (10 digits). Not milliseconds. For example: 1705312200 for January 15, 2024.

How do I show just the time?

Use style 't' for short time (4:20 PM) or 'T' for long time (4:20:00 PM). Example: <t:1705312200:t>.

Can bots use these timestamps?

Yes. Bots can send messages with Discord timestamp syntax. The timestamps render the same way as user messages.
