LESS MATH. MORE GAME NIGHT.
Same moment. Everyone's local time.
For raids, watch parties, releases, and everything in between.
Explore the format guideA Discord timestamp is a small piece of message code that represents a specific moment. Paste it into a chat and Discord turns it into a readable date, time, or countdown. Each reader sees the moment in their own time zone and language, so your server can agree on when to meet without everyone doing the conversion.
The code has three parts: <t:UNIX:STYLE>. The first part tells Discord it is a timestamp. The middle is the number of whole seconds since January 1, 1970, at midnight UTC. The final letter chooses its appearance. Use f for a date with a time, F to include the weekday, or R for a relative label such as “in 2 hours.” Capitalization matters.

Paste into DiscordSend it as a normal message.
Start by choosing a date, a time, and the time zone where that time belongs. Timecord initially uses your browser's time zone. All seven formats update as you change the moment. The examples beside each code use the selected zone; the Discord message preview also lets you check another viewer's zone. Changing the zone preserves the same instant and updates the date and time fields to match.
Copy a complete code and paste it directly into Discord. You can put it beside ordinary text, such as “Our next raid starts” or “Registration closes.” Do not wrap it in backticks or a code block: those tell Discord to show the raw characters instead of rendering a date. Use seconds rather than JavaScript's 13-digit milliseconds. Timecord handles that conversion for you.
If you received a timestamp and want to know what it means, use the time converter. It accepts both full timestamp code and plain Unix seconds, then shows local time, UTC, and the relative distance from now. A timestamp does not schedule a message or set a reminder; it simply makes the time in your message unambiguous. The code stays useful after an event, too: a relative countdown becomes elapsed time.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Timing is everything. Let's clear it up.
The small details behind your timestamps.
How do I write a Discord timestamp?
Write <t:UNIX:STYLE>, replacing UNIX with whole seconds since January 1, 1970, and STYLE with a supported letter. For example, <t:1700000000:F> displays a full date and time. Copy a complete code and paste it as a normal Discord message, without backticks.
Which timestamp formats does Discord support?
There are seven: t for short time, T for time with seconds, d for short date, D for long date, f for date and time, F for weekday, date and time, and R for relative time. Letters are case-sensitive. Leaving out the style, as in <t:1700000000>, uses f.
Whose time zone will everyone see?
The selected zone determines the moment you are generating. Discord renders that same instant in each reader's local time zone and language. A 9 PM event in New York can appear on a different date in Tokyo; it is still the same instant.
Do Discord timestamps expire?
No. A timestamp points to a fixed moment and does not expire. A relative timestamp changes from a countdown to elapsed time after that moment passes. Share links store the selected moment and time zone in the URL.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes. Use your phone's date and time fields, choose a format, and tap its copy button. Paste into Discord on iOS, Android, or the web. If clipboard access is blocked, Timecord shows the code for manual copying.
Can I use timestamps in an embed?
Timestamp syntax works in message content and supported embed text, such as descriptions and field values. Not every field supports Markdown. A bot embed's separate timestamp property expects an ISO 8601 date instead of <t:...> message syntax.
Why is my timestamp not rendering or updating?
Check the angle brackets, lowercase t before the colon, a supported style letter, and Unix seconds rather than milliseconds. Remove surrounding backticks or code blocks. Only R is relative; other styles show a fixed date. Discord controls its own refresh cadence; this preview refreshes every second.
Is there a character limit or a cost?
Timecord is free and requires no account. Timestamp codes count toward Discord's normal message length limits. Generating a code does not schedule a message, create a reminder, or install a bot.
