Discord Timestamp Generator

About this tool

Turn a date and time into a Discord timestamp tag like <t:1717416840:F>. When you paste one of these into a Discord message it renders in each reader's own time zone and language, and the relative styles ("in 3 hours", "2 days ago") update live. Pick the date and time, choose whether you mean your local time or UTC, and copy whichever of the seven formats you need. Everything is computed in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Why use a timestamp tag instead of just typing the time?

Because your server's members are in different time zones. The tag stores a single moment as a Unix timestamp and Discord displays it correctly for everyone, so nobody has to do the maths.

What do the letters mean?

t short time, T long time, d short date, D long date, f short date/time (the default), F day of week + date/time, R relative.

Does it need the Discord API?

No. The tag is just text built from a Unix timestamp. This tool generates it offline; Discord does the rendering when you send the message.
