Every Discord timestamp style, with an example

Discord documents nine styles. Here is each code for one moment, 1795208400 (Friday, November 20, 2026 at 21:00 UTC), as a reader in New York with English (US) settings sees it three days ahead. A reader elsewhere sees the same moment in their own time and language.

t: short time

<t:1795208400:t> → 4:00 PM

T: medium time

<t:1795208400:T> → 4:00:00 PM

d: short date

<t:1795208400:d> → 11/20/2026

D: long date

<t:1795208400:D> → November 20, 2026

f: long date, short time (default)

<t:1795208400:f> → November 20, 2026 at 4:00 PM

F: full date, short time

<t:1795208400:F> → Friday, November 20, 2026 at 4:00 PM

s: short date, short time

<t:1795208400:s> → 11/20/2026, 4:00 PM

S: short date, medium time

<t:1795208400:S> → 11/20/2026, 4:00:00 PM

R: relative time

<t:1795208400:R> → in 3 days

Which style to use

For an event, F plus R is the clearest pair: the weekday and time remove any doubt, and the countdown tells people how soon it is. For a deadline inside a day, t or R is enough. For a changelog or a date with no time, use D.

Keep the whole announcement short, put the timestamp on its own line, and pin the message if the event is more than a day away.

Event announcement

Community game night Starts <t:1795208400:F> (<t:1795208400:R>) Bring a friend.

Deadline

Sign-ups close <t:1795208400:R>, at <t:1795208400:t> your time.

How the code works

The number in the code is a Unix timestamp: the seconds since January 1, 1970, at midnight UTC. It names one moment for everyone, which is why Discord can show it in each reader's local time.

The generator reads the date and time you pick in your browser's timezone and turns it into that number. You can also schedule the announcement itself: SociaHive posts messages to a Discord channel at the time you choose, through a channel webhook.

Questions

How do I use a Discord timestamp?

Pick the date and time above, copy the code for the style you want, and paste it into a Discord message, for example "Game night starts <t:1795208400:F>". When you send it, Discord replaces the code with the date and time, written for each reader.

Does a Discord timestamp show in each person's timezone?

Yes. The code holds one moment in time, and Discord shows it in the timezone and language set on each reader's device. Someone in London and someone in New York read the same message and each see their own local time, so nobody has to convert.

How do I make a relative time like "in 2 hours"?

Use the R style: <t:UNIX:R>. Discord shows it as "in 2 hours" before the time and "2 hours ago" after it, and the text updates on its own. Pair it with F in the same message ("Starts <t:...:F> (<t:...:R>)") so people get the exact time and the countdown.

What do the letters t, T, d, D, f, F, s, S and R mean?

They pick the format: t is a short time, T a time with seconds, d a short date, D a long date, f a long date with the time, F the same with the weekday, s a short date with the time, S a short date with seconds, and R relative time. A code without a letter, <t:UNIX>, uses f.

Why does Discord show the wrong time for my timestamp?

Usually the code was made for the wrong moment: the date and time were entered in a different timezone than intended, or the number is in milliseconds instead of seconds (13 digits instead of 10). This generator uses the timezone of your browser, shown under the date field, and always writes seconds.

Do timestamps work in bot and webhook messages?

Yes. A timestamp is part of the message text, so it renders the same whether a person, a bot or a channel webhook sent it, and it also renders in embed descriptions. That is why a scheduled announcement can carry a timestamp and still show each reader their own local time.
