Understanding Discord Timestamps
What is a Discord Timestamp?
A Discord timestamp is a special piece of markdown code that Discord recognizes and displays as a dynamic, localized time. Instead of saying "the event is at 8 PM EST," which confuses international members, you can use a timestamp. For a user in London, that same timestamp will automatically display as "1 AM BST." It solves timezone chaos forever.
Mastering the Timestamp Formats
Discord provides several ways to display the time. Our generator provides them all so you can pick the perfect one for your message:
<t:...:t>
Showing only the time with AM/PM.
<t:...:T>
Showing the time including seconds.
<t:...:d>
A short, numerical date.
<t:...:D>
A more formal, written-out date.
<t:...:f>
The standard, default timestamp showing both date and time.
<t:...:F>
The most complete and unambiguous format, including the day of the week.
<t:...:R>
A dynamic, relative timestamp that says "in 2 hours" or "3 days ago". Perfect for countdowns!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Unix Timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (or Epoch time) is the total number of seconds that have passed since January 1st, 1970. It's a universal standard for time used by computers worldwide. Discord uses this number in its markdown code to ensure that every user sees the correct time, regardless of their location. Our tool handles this conversion for you automatically.
How do I make a Discord timestamp countdown?
To create a countdown, use the Relative Time (R) format. Copy the code that ends with :R> and paste it into Discord. It will show messages like "in 5 minutes" or "in 3 days" and will update live as the time gets closer.
Can I create a timestamp without a generator?
Yes, but it's difficult. You would need to find the correct Unix timestamp for your date and time, and then manually type the markdown code <t:your_unix_timestamp:F>. A Discord timestamp maker like this one removes all the guesswork and potential for errors.
Does this Discord time converter work on mobile?
Absolutely. Our website is fully responsive and designed to be easy to use on any device, whether you're on a desktop, tablet, or mobile phone. You can generate timestamps on the go.
