Discord Timestamp Generator
Generate Discord timestamp codes from any date. All 7 <t:unix:style> formats with previews; every reader sees their own timezone.
About this tool
Turn a date and time into Discord's dynamic timestamp codes. Paste a date like 2026-12-31 20:00 (or a Unix timestamp, or the word now) and get all seven <t:unix:style> variants with a preview of each, ready to copy into any message, event description, or bot embed.
Dynamic timestamps are the correct way to announce times in Discord because every reader sees the moment rendered in their own timezone and language, and the R style updates live as a countdown. No more "8pm EST / 5pm PST" lists.
Common uses
- Announce an event once and have every member see their local time.
- Add live countdowns (the :R relative style) to messages.
- Generate timestamps for bot embeds without doing epoch math.
Automate via API
The same conversion is available as a REST endpoint for scripts, pipelines, and backends:
curl -X POST https://payloadly.com/api/v1/tools/discord-timestamp-generator \ -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \ -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \ --data-binary @input.txt
Frequently asked questions
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, and there are no ads on the page. Nothing you paste or drop here is uploaded, logged, or stored, and you can verify that yourself: open your browser's developer tools and watch the Network tab while you convert (no requests leave the page), or disconnect from the internet after the page loads and keep working.
Which timezone is my input read in?
A date without a timezone (like 2026-12-31 20:00) is read in your device's local timezone, which is normally what you want: type the time as you think of it, and Discord shows every reader their own local equivalent. Add Z or an offset (+02:00) to specify UTC or another zone explicitly.
What do the seven style letters mean?
t is short time (8:00 PM), T long time with seconds, d short date, D long date, f date and time (the default when no style is given), F adds the weekday, and R is relative (in 3 hours), which keeps updating. The output shows a preview next to each code.
Is this tool affiliated with Discord?
No. It simply generates the standard <t:unix:style> markup that Discord's client renders. Discord is a trademark of Discord Inc.; this is an independent utility.
Is there a size limit or a fee?
The browser tool is free with no signup and comfortably handles files up to tens of megabytes (limited by your device's memory). For automated or bulk processing inside your own scripts and pipelines, use the paid REST API.
