Discord Timestamp Generator
Build dynamic <t:…> timestamps that show every member their own local time.
Click any code to copy it, then paste it straight into a Discord message. Discord renders it in each member's own time zone.
What is a Discord timestamp?
A Discord timestamp is a small piece of text that Discord turns into a live, localized date or time. Instead of typing 3pm EST and making everyone do the math, you paste a code like <t:1735689600:F> and each member sees the moment in their own time zone.
The number in the middle is a Unix timestamp, the number of seconds since 1 January 1970. The letter at the end controls how the date and time are shown.
How to use the timestamp generator
- Pick a date and time, or paste a Unix timestamp.
- Use the Now button to jump to the current moment.
- Find the format you want in the list. Each row shows a live preview next to its code.
- Click the code to copy it, then paste it into Discord.
Timestamp format reference
- t: short time, like 4:30 PM
- T: long time, like 4:30:00 PM
- d: short date, like 01/01/2025
- D: long date, like January 1, 2025
- f: short date and time (the default)
- F: long date and time with the weekday
- R: relative time that keeps counting, like in 3 hours
Frequently asked questions
Discord timestamps use a Unix timestamp wrapped in a <t:…> tag, like <t:1735689600:F>. Discord reads the number and renders the date and time live, in the local time zone of whoever is reading the message.
That is the point of timestamps. The same code shows each member their own local time, so you never have to convert time zones by hand. The number you paste is always in UTC under the hood.
The letter at the end picks the style: t and T are time only, d and D are date only, f and F combine both (F adds the weekday), and R shows a live relative time like in 3 hours. A plain <t:1735689600> with no letter uses the f style.
Yes. The R format updates on its own, so it works well for countdowns to events, giveaways, or maintenance windows. Discord recalculates it whenever someone views the message.
Yes. The <t:…> code works in normal messages and in embed fields. In Ticket Tool you can drop one into automated flow messages so members always see accurate times.
