A server event announcement
Use the full date-and-time style for the event’s scheduled instant. Add the relative style after it when you also want readers to see how far away it is.
Preview settings
Discord displays the same instant in each viewer’s time zone and language. These browser previews approximate its presentation; relative rounding may differ.

Paste the code directly into a Discord message, without backticks. This tool supports instants from January 1, 1970 through December 31, 2100 in UTC. Browser time-zone data determines DST conversion.
Timestamp generation and preview formatting run in the page without a Discord connection.
How to use the Discord Timestamp Generator
- 01
Select a date, a 24-hour time, and an IANA zone, or switch the input to Unix seconds. Use current time fills the input with the present instant.
- 02
Resolve a repeated daylight-saving hour by choosing its UTC offset. Skipped clock times must be changed. Check the UTC instant and seconds value shown below.
- 03
Choose a viewer time zone and language for the preview. Copy one format or all formats. Paste the code into a Discord message without wrapping it in backticks.
Examples
Unix seconds rather than milliseconds
1618953630 is a seconds value. A JavaScript-style 13-digit millisecond timestamp must be divided by 1,000 before use. This generator rejects values outside its supported seconds range.
Preview the next calendar day
Set the instant to January 1, 2026 at 23:30 UTC, then select Asia/Tokyo for the viewer. The long-date preview shows January 2, 2026.
Choose a useful timestamp style
The nine documented style letters cover time (t, T), date (d, D), date with time (f, F, s, S), and relative time (R). Uppercase and lowercase letters select different presentations. The generated codes include an explicit style. Discord uses f when the style is omitted.
One instant, different local displays
A generated code contains Unix seconds rather than the entered city name. Changing preview settings leaves the code unchanged. These previews use the browser’s international date formatting; punctuation, relative rounding, and exact presentation may differ from Discord.
Avoid ambiguity around clock changes
An input zone gives meaning to the entered local clock time. The conversion checks that time against the zone’s rules for the selected date. During a repeated hour, choosing the first or second occurrence produces different Unix values. A nonexistent spring-forward time is rejected instead of silently moved.
What to know
- UTC range 1970–2100. Browser previews approximate Discord formatting. Time-zone conversions depend on browser data.
Common questions
Why does my timestamp show as plain text in Discord?
Paste the angle-bracket code directly into a message. Backticks and code blocks prevent normal formatting. Also check that the value uses whole Unix seconds and that the style letter is valid.
Are the timestamp values seconds or milliseconds?
They are whole Unix seconds. This tool supports nonnegative values from 0 through 4133980799, covering 1970 through 2100 in UTC.
Does changing the viewer zone change the event?
No. It changes the preview only. To change the event itself, edit the input date, clock time, source zone, or Unix seconds.
Does a relative timestamp keep counting?
Its code represents a fixed instant. The relative display compares that instant with the current time. This page refreshes its relative preview every second; Discord controls its own refresh and rounding.
Does the generator post to my Discord account?
No. It creates text for you to copy and paste. No Discord account connection is used.
