Discord Timestamp Converter
Pick a date and time, then get the Discord timestamp markdown tag (<t:...>) for every display style Discord supports, complete with a live preview.
Recommended Settings
Pro Tips
- •Paste the copied tag directly into a Discord message box - Discord renders it in each viewer's own local timezone automatically
- •Relative Time (R) is the most commonly used style for countdowns and 'X minutes ago' style messages
- •The same tag looks identical to everyone who sees it, but displays in their own timezone rather than yours
- •This only generates the tag - Discord itself does the actual rendering when the message is sent

Frequently Asked Questions
Does everyone see the same time?
Everyone sees the same moment in time, but Discord automatically displays it in each viewer's own local timezone and locale settings - so the exact wording can differ between viewers.
Which style should I use?
Relative Time (R) is popular for countdowns and recency ('in 3 hours'), while Long Date/Time (F) is useful for clearly stating a full scheduled date and time.
Does this work in Slack or other chat apps?
No, the <t:...> tag syntax is specific to Discord. Other platforms don't recognize or render it the same way.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. The timestamp and tags are generated entirely in your browser.
Why is my preview slightly different from what Discord shows?
The preview approximates Discord's own formatting logic using your browser's locale settings - the actual Discord client may format wording very slightly differently.
