How many Discord timestamp formats are there?

Seven: t (short time), T (long time), d (short date), D (long date), f (short date and time), F (long date and time), and R (relative time).

What is the default Discord timestamp format?

Omitting the flag (writing ) renders the short date and time format, the same as f.

A space, line break or missing bracket inside stops Discord from rendering it. Copy the exact snippet with no extra characters.

One syntax, seven renderings. Pick the flag that fits the message — or copy a ready-made row from the generator.

<t:UNIX:FLAG> — three parts, no spaces. Omit the flag and Discord renders short date/time (f).

Flag	Name	Renders like	Best for
`t`	Short time	11:00 AM	Times inside a sentence
`T`	Long time	11:00:00 AM	Precision, logs
`d`	Short date	07/20/2026	Compact numeric dates
`D`	Long date	July 20, 2026	Readable dates
`f`	Short date/time	July 20, 2026 11:00 AM	Default, compact events
`F`	Long date/time	Monday, July 20, 2026 11:00 AM	Headline announcements
`R`	Relative	in 34 minutes	Countdowns, deadlines, "x ago"

Spaces inside the brackets — <t: 123:F> stays plain text.
Markdown around it — bold/italic markers touching the brackets can stop rendering; put a space outside.
Milliseconds — 13-digit numbers render as year 50,000+. Divide by 1000.
Embeds and webhooks — timestamps render in embed descriptions and webhook messages too, but some bots escape the brackets; test once.
