Discord Timestamps

Discord Timestamp Generator

Build dynamic Discord time tags from any date and time: pick a format (short time, long date, full date-time, or relative), preview it, then copy the <t:unix:flag> code into messages, embeds, or bots.

Pick the calendar day for the moment you want. That day is combined with the time below; Discord then shows that instant to each reader in their own timezone.

Pick the clock time on that date using your computer’s current timezone. Together, date + time = one exact moment that gets turned into the Unix number inside the Discord tag.

This chooses how Discord displays that moment—not a different time, just different wording:

  • t / T — time only (T includes seconds)
  • d / D — date only (short vs long month name)
  • f / F — date and time together (F adds weekday)
  • R — phrases like “in 2 hours” or “5 min ago” that update over time

Sets the date and time inputs back to right now on your device. Use it if you want a fresh starting point without refreshing the page.

A rough idea of how Discord might phrase this time using your language and region settings. Other people can see different wording or date order, but the underlying moment is the same.

If you chose R, this line updates every second so you can see the “relative” style in action.

This is the exact text to paste into Discord (chat, embed, or bot output). It’s a short tag: a Unix timestamp plus a style letter. Discord replaces it with the formatted time for each reader.

Copies the generated tag to your clipboard so you can paste it into Discord in one step. If nothing copies, check that you picked a valid date and time first.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Discord timestamp generator — FAQ

Use this tool to create Discord dynamic timestamps: special tags with a Unix time and a style letter inside <t:…>. Discord shows the time in each reader's locale and timezone. This page builds the tag from your chosen local date and time and shows an approximate preview before you copy.

What is a Discord timestamp?

Discord timestamps are special tags that look like a Unix time plus a style letter inside angle brackets. Discord turns them into a time that each person sees in their own locale and timezone, and some styles update over time (for example “2 hours ago”).

How do I use this Discord timestamp generator?

Choose a date and time, pick a format (short time, long date, combined date and time, or relative), then copy the generated code and paste it into a Discord message, embed, or bot output.

What do the Discord timestamp style letters mean?

The letter after the Unix number sets how Discord displays the time: t and T are time only; d and D are date only; f and F combine date and time (F includes the weekday); R shows a relative phrase like “in 5 minutes” or “3 hours ago” that updates for readers.

Does Discord show timestamps in my timezone?

Yes. The same tag is shown to everyone, but Discord renders it using each viewer's local timezone and language settings, similar to how other localized times work in the app.

What does the R (relative) Discord timestamp do?

The R style shows a relative phrase compared to the current moment, such as “in 2 hours” for a future time or “5 minutes ago” for a past time. That wording updates as time passes.
