Reverse Discord Timestamp Generator

Enter Discord Timestamp

Enter a Discord timestamp code to convert it back to a human-readable date and time.

How to Use:

  1. Copy a Discord timestamp from any message (e.g. <t:1672531200:F>)
  2. Paste it into the input field above
  3. Click "Convert Timestamp" to see when it was created

Examples:

  • <t:1672531200:F> - Full date/time format
  • <t:1672531200:R> - Relative time format
  • <t:1672531200> - Default format

How to Use the Generator

  1. Select Your Date: Use the date picker to choose the year, month, and day for your event or deadline. You can also click "Set to Current Time" to start from now.
  2. Set the Time: Input the exact hour, minute, and second. Precision is key for coordinating events.
  3. Choose the Timezone: This is the most crucial step. Select the timezone in which your event is taking place. For example, if you are in New York and planning an event for 9:00 AM, select a timezone like "America/New_York". The generator will convert this into a universal format.
  4. Copy the Code: Our tool instantly generates all available timestamp formats. Find the style you like (e.g., "Relative Time" or "Long Date/Time") and click the "Copy" button. Paste this code directly into your Discord chat, and Discord will handle the rest!

What Are Discord Timestamps?

A Discord timestamp is a special formatting feature that displays a date and time that automatically adjusts to each user's local timezone. Have you ever tried to schedule a game, meeting, or event with people from around the world? The confusion is immediate: "Is that 8 PM my time or your time?" Timestamps solve this problem elegantly.

Instead of posting a static time like "The event starts at 8:00 PM EST," which forces everyone else to convert that time manually, you can post a dynamic timestamp. A user in London will see the time in BST, a user in Tokyo will see it in JST, and a user in Los Angeles will see it in PDT. It removes ambiguity and makes global communication seamless.

This functionality is built directly into Discord and works on all platforms (Desktop, Web, and Mobile). It relies on a universal standard called a Unix timestamp, which is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970. Our generator does the heavy lifting of converting your human-readable date and time into this universal format, so you don't have to.

Understanding All Timestamp Formats

Discord offers several ways to display your timestamp, each with a unique format code (or "flag"). Choosing the right one depends on the context of your message. Our generator provides all of them, so you can pick the perfect one for any situation.

The underlying structure of a timestamp is <t:UNIX_TIMESTAMP:FLAG>. The generator handles the Unix timestamp part; you just need to choose a flag. Here's a breakdown of what each flag does:

  • Short Time (:t): Displays only the time with hours and minutes (e.g., 10:30 PM). Ideal for quick references within the same day.
  • Long Time (:T): Includes seconds for more precision (e.g., 10:30:00 PM). Useful for countdowns or exact start times.
  • Short Date (:d): Shows the date in a numeric format (e.g., 12/31/2025). Great for deadlines or future dates.
  • Long Date (:D): Spells out the month for clarity (e.g., December 31, 2025). Best for formal announcements.
  • Short Date/Time (:f): The most common format. It combines the long date with the short time (e.g., December 31, 2025 at 10:30 PM). This is the default choice for most event announcements.
  • Long Date/Time (:F): A more verbose version that includes the day of the week (e.g., Wednesday, December 31, 2025 at 10:30 PM). Perfect for weekly event reminders.
  • Relative Time (:R): This is the most dynamic format. It displays the time relative to the present (e.g., in 2 hours, 3 days ago). It's incredibly useful for building hype for an upcoming event or referencing something that just happened.
