What Are Discord Timestamps?

Understanding the magic behind time that just works for everyone.

Discord timestamps are a special markup that allows you to display dates and times that automatically convert to each user's local timezone. When you paste a timestamp code, Discord reads it and shows the time adjusted for the person viewing it, making it perfect for coordinating across the globe.

Timestamp Syntax

How to structure the timestamp code.

The basic syntax for a Discord timestamp is:

<t:UNIX_TIMESTAMP:FORMAT>

Where:

UNIX_TIMESTAMP: is the specific moment in time, measured in seconds since January 1, 1970 (Unix Epoch).
FORMAT: is an optional letter that defines how the timestamp should be displayed.
