Discord Timestamp Generator
Generate Discord's <t:unix:format> timestamp codes with a live preview of all 7 formats, a Now button, and the raw Unix value to copy.
🔒 This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.
Uses your device's local timezone — Discord converts each viewer's timestamp to their own timezone automatically.
How it works
- Pick a date and time in your own local timezone, or click Now to jump to the current moment.
- See a live preview of all 7 Discord timestamp formats — the Relative format keeps counting up or down as you watch, the same way it will once posted.
- Copy the code for the format you want (or the raw Unix timestamp) and paste it into a Discord message.
FAQ
Why does the code look like <t:1699999999:f>?
That's Discord's own markdown syntax for a dynamic timestamp — a Unix timestamp (seconds since 1970) followed by a one-letter format code. Discord renders it client-side, converted into whatever timezone the person reading the message is in.
Will everyone see the same time?
They'll see the same moment in time, but displayed in their own local timezone and locale format — that's the whole point of using this over typing a plain time, which only makes sense in your own timezone.
Does the relative format ("in 2 hours") update automatically?
Yes — once posted in Discord, the R format keeps counting up or down live as people view the message, not just at the moment it was sent. The preview on this page updates the same way every second, so what you see here is what people will see in Discord.
Is my date/time sent anywhere?
No — the Unix timestamp and every preview are calculated locally in your browser.
Can I get just the raw Unix timestamp, not wrapped in Discord's code?
Yes — it's shown above the format list with its own copy button, useful if you need the plain number for something other than a Discord message.
What do the letters t, T, d, D, f, F, and R mean?
They're Discord's seven timestamp styles: t (short time), T (long time), d (short date), D (long date), f (short date/time — the default), F (long date/time), and R (relative, like "in 2 hours").
