Discord timestamp generator
Turn a date and time into Discord timestamp syntax — a code that shows in everyone's own local time. Pick a moment, copy the code, paste it into Discord — no more “what's that in my timezone?” in the replies.

Let your whole audience know when you're live
Set up your stream schedule on StreamDay and you'll never hand-build another timestamp again. Publish one link for your Twitch, YouTube, and Kick stream times, and every viewer sees your whole schedule automatically converted into their own timezone — always up to date. No more pasting custom timestamp codes into every announcement; the platform handles all of it for you.
Need to convert one go-live time across regions instead? Try our free stream timezone converter, or announce a multi-streamer event with a lineup graphic. Planning the collab in your Discord? Find a time everyone can make with the collab stream scheduler.
What is a Discord timestamp?
A Discord timestamp (also called a time code) is a tiny piece of code, like <t:1782766254:F>, that Discord renders as a real, dynamic date and time, automatically converted to each reader's own timezone. In effect it's a built-in timestamp converter: you enter one local time and everyone sees it in theirs — the person in London sees London time, the person in Tokyo sees Tokyo time, and nobody has to do the maths. It's the cleanest way to announce a time to a server full of people scattered around the world.
The number in the middle is a Unix timestamp (seconds since 1 January 1970). The letter at the end picks the style — short or long date, time with or without seconds, or a live relative countdown like “in 2 hours”. This timestamp syntax generator builds that syntax for you: choose a date, time and timezone above, then hit copy and paste it into Discord.
Discord timestamps are perfect for stream go-live times, event announcements, raid and collab times, giveaways and countdowns. But if you're regularly coordinating a group stream or community event in Discord, retyping times for every message gets old. That's what StreamDay is for: it collects everyone's availability, builds the schedule, and gives you one public link that always shows each viewer your times in their own timezone.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use a Discord timestamp?
Pick your date, time and timezone above, press Copy on the style you want, and paste the code straight into a Discord message. Discord replaces it with a formatted time in each reader's own local timezone. It works in messages, embeds and most bots.
Will it show in everyone's timezone?
Yes — that's the whole point. You enter the time once in your timezone, and Discord renders it in each viewer's local timezone automatically. The code stores an absolute moment (a Unix timestamp), so there's no ambiguity.
What do the different formats mean?
The letter at the end of the code chooses the style: t short time, T long time (with seconds), d short date, D long date, f short date & time, F long date & time (with weekday), and R a relative countdown like “in 3 hours”. Each card above shows a live preview.
How do I make a countdown in Discord?
Use the relative style (R) — <t:UNIX:R>. Discord shows it as a live, self-updating countdown like “in 3 hours” or “in 2 days” that ticks down on its own. It's the easiest way to post a countdown to a stream, event or giveaway, and it needs no bot.
Can bots and embeds use Discord timestamps?
Yes. The same <t:…> code works in normal messages, embeds, and the output of most bots and webhooks — anywhere Discord renders message markdown. The reader always sees it in their own local time.
Why is my timestamp showing the wrong time?
Almost always the timezone. The code pins an absolute moment, so make sure the timezone selector matches the zone your entered time is in — set it to the event's local timezone, then copy the code.
Do Discord timestamps work on mobile?
Yes. They render the same on the desktop app, the web client and the iOS and Android apps — each device shows the time in its own local timezone.
What is the Unix timestamp in the code?
The number in the middle (for example 1782843600) is a Unix timestamp — the seconds since 1 January 1970, UTC. It marks one exact moment with no timezone ambiguity. This generator works it out from the date, time and timezone you pick, so you never have to calculate it.
Is the Discord timestamp generator free?
Completely free, with no account needed — it runs entirely in your browser. The paid product is StreamDay itself, which automates scheduling and publishing for streamers and group events.
What is the “relative time” option?
When enabled, copying any style appends a relative countdown — for example <t:…:F> (<t:…:R>)— so your message shows both the exact date and a live “in 2 hours”. It's a popular way to announce upcoming streams and events.
