Discord renders it in each reader's own timezone and locale, so a single code shows the correct local time to everyone. Discord has no built-in generator, so the codes are otherwise written by hand. ## The style characters | Style | Name | Example output | |-------|------|----------------| | `F` | Long Date/Time | Friday, 20 July 2026 20:00 | | `f` | Short Date/Time | 20 July 2026 20:00 | | `D` | Long Date | 20 July 2026 | | `d` | Short Date | 20/07/2026 | | `T` | Long Time | 20:00:00 | | `t` | Short Time | 20:00 | | `R` | Relative Time | in 3 hours | Omitting the style (``) is equivalent to `f`. Rendered output follows each reader's own locale and timezone, so the examples above will differ per viewer. ## Tools - [Discord Timestamp Generator](https://discordtimestamp.com/): pick a moment via presets, a date and time picker, or natural language, and copy any of the seven codes.
