Discord timestamp generator.

What is a Discord timestamp tag?

Discord supports a special markdown syntax for timestamps that automatically renders in each viewer's local timezone with their preferred locale. Instead of writing "Meeting at 3 PM EST on Jan 1", you write <t:1735718400:F> and every viewer sees it in their own time.

Tag syntax

<t:UNIX_TIMESTAMP>          → default (same as :f)
<t:UNIX_TIMESTAMP:STYLE>    → with explicit style

Available styles

Where to use these

• Server announcements with specific times — viewers see them in their timezone
• Bot commands that mention deadlines, reminders, or scheduled events
• Coordinating cross-timezone gaming sessions, meetings, or events
• Embeds — Discord timestamps work inside message embeds too

Examples in context

Server maintenance starts <t:1735718400:F> (<t:1735718400:R>)
→ Server maintenance starts Wednesday, January 1, 2025 3:00 PM (in 2 hours)

Event ends <t:1735718400:R>
→ Event ends in 2 hours

Daily standup at <t:1735718400:t> every weekday
→ Daily standup at 3:00 PM every weekday

Common gotchas

• Always use seconds, not milliseconds. <t:1735689600000> won't render correctly.
• Tags work in messages, embeds, and most bot responses but not in usernames or channel topics.
• The style is case-sensitive. F and f produce different output.
• If no style is specified, Discord uses f (Short Date/Time).
