How to Make Discord Timestamps

Step 1: Enter Your Event Date and Time

Use the intuitive date and time picker to pinpoint the exact moment. This is the local time that you want to convert into a universal Discord timestamp.

Step 2: Verify Your Local Timezone

Our tool is a smart discord time zone converter. It automatically detects your computer's timezone. If you're creating a timestamp for an event in a different zone, simply select the correct one from the searchable list.

Step 3: Choose and Copy the Timestamp Code

All available Discord timestamp formats are generated instantly. Find the format you like and click anywhere on the code to copy it directly to your clipboard.

Step 4: Paste the Command in Discord

Go to any Discord channel or direct message and paste the copied code (e.g., <t:1728163200:F>). When you press Enter, the code will transform into a dynamic timestamp that displays the correct local time for every user who sees it.

Understanding the Output Formats

Our Discord timestamp maker provides every possible style. Here’s what each format does, helping you choose the best one for your announcement:

• The standard, default timestamp showing both date and time. (Default)
• The most complete and unambiguous format, including the day of the week. (Most Detailed)
• A dynamic, relative timestamp that says "in 2 hours" or "3 days ago". Perfect for countdowns!
• A short, numerical date.
• A more formal, written-out date.
• Showing only the time with AM/PM.
• Showing the time including seconds.

Advanced Tips & Tricks

How to Make a Discord Timestamp Countdown

To create a countdown timer for an event, use the Relative Time (R) format. This special discord timestamp command will show "in 5 minutes" or "in 3 days" and will update live, creating excitement for your event.

Using Timestamps in Embeds

All timestamp codes work perfectly inside Discord embeds. When setting up a bot or webhook, you can place the timestamp code (like <t:timestamp:R>) in the description or field values of your embed. This is how you make professional-looking, timezone-aware event announcements.

What is the Unix Timestamp Number?

The long number in the code is the Unix timestamp (also called Epoch time). It represents the total number of seconds since January 1, 1970. This universal standard is what allows our discord epoch time converter to generate a single code that Discord can translate for everyone. You don’t need to calculate it—our tool does it for you!
