How to Use the Generator

Create localized timestamps for your Discord server in seconds.

01

Select your local time

Click the large input field and select the exact date and time for your event. Enter the time in YOUR local timezone. The generator will handle the math automatically.

02

Preview formats

Scroll down to the formats grid. You will see live previews of exactly how the timestamp will appear in Discord (e.g. short time, relative countdown).

03

Copy & paste

Click the "Copy" button next to your desired format and paste the <t:...> syntax directly into your Discord channel or bot embed.

Mastering Discord Timestamps

Scheduling events across multiple timezones used to be a nightmare for Discord server admins. By using Discord's dynamic timestamp formatting, you can generate a single string of text that automatically converts to every individual user's local timezone.

How Dynamic Timestamps Work

Under the hood, Discord relies on Unix Epoch time, which is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970. By formatting this number using the <t:TIMESTAMP:FLAG> syntax, the Discord client knows to interpret that number as a localized date and time.

Available Formatting Flags

  • t (Short Time): Displays just the time (e.g., 16:20 or 4:20 PM).
  • T (Long Time): Displays time with seconds (e.g., 16:20:30).
  • d (Short Date): Displays a numbered date (e.g., 11/28/2026).
  • D (Long Date): Displays the full text date (e.g., November 28, 2026).
  • f (Short Date/Time): Combines short date and short time.
  • F (Long Date/Time): Combines long date and short time.
  • R (Relative Time): Extremely popular for event countdowns. Displays "in 2 hours", "3 days ago", etc. This timer updates automatically in real-time within the Discord app!
