📋

3. Copy & paste

Copy the <t:…> code into any Discord message. Every reader sees it in their own timezone.

Discord timestamps solve the eternal “what time is that for me?” problem: the code embeds a Unix timestamp and each client renders it in the viewer's local timezone. The relative style even live-updates — “in 2 hours” becomes “in 5 minutes” automatically, ideal for event reminders. Need the raw Unix value for a bot or API? Use the Unix Timestamp Converter, or coordinate across zones with the Time Zone Converter.

Discord timestamp FAQ

How do Discord timestamps work?

You paste a code like into a message. Discord reads the Unix timestamp inside and renders it in each viewer's local timezone and language — no more timezone math in event announcements.

What do the letters t, T, d, D, f, F and R mean?

t = short time (9:41 PM), T = long time with seconds, d = short date (06/30/2026), D = long date, f = date and time (default), F = full date with weekday, R = relative (“in 2 hours”).

Does the relative countdown update automatically?

Yes — the R style re-renders as time passes: “in 3 days” → “in 2 hours” → “5 minutes ago”, with no edits needed.

Do timestamps work in embeds and bots?

Yes, the same t-tag syntax works in normal messages, embeds and bot messages alike.
