How to Use Discord Timestamps: Free Generator Tutorial

Discord timestamps are a game-changer for global communities, displaying dynamic times that adjust to users’ timezones. This tutorial shows how to create timestamps for events, countdowns, and message tracking using DevUtils’ free generator.

What Are Discord Timestamps?

Discord timestamps are based on Unix timestamps (seconds since January 1, 1970), using the <t:timestamp:format> syntax. For example, <t:1694870400:F> displays “September 16, 2023, 00:00.” They auto-adjust to local timezones, ideal for international servers (Keywords: Unix timestamp for Discord).

Generating Timestamps

DevUtils’ Discord Timestamp Generator makes it easy:

1. Enter a datetime (e.g., “May 8, 2025, 08:00 UTC”).
2. Select a format (e.g., F), generating <t:1746787200:F>.
3. Copy and paste into a Discord message.
4. Keywords: Discord timestamp generator.

Converting Unix Timestamps

For an existing Unix timestamp (e.g., 1694870400):

• Input into DevUtils’ tool.
• Choose a format (e.g., R), get <t:1694870400:R> (“2 years ago”).
• Keywords: convert datetime to timestamp.

Seven Formats

• t: Short time (4:20 PM)
• T: Long time (4:20:30 PM)
• d: Short date (04/20/2024)
• D: Long date (April 20, 2024)
• f: Short date/time (April 20, 2024 4:20 PM)
• F: Long date/time (Saturday, April 20, 2024 4:20 PM)
• R: Relative time (3 days from now)

Use Cases

• Event Scheduling: Set times for gaming or meetings.
• Countdowns:Show time remaining for giveaways.
• Message Tracking: Log key message times.
