Slack Timestamp Formatter

Slack can render a date or time that automatically shows in each teammate's own timezone — build the markup below and paste it into any message.

Pick a date and time

How Slack timestamps work

Slack supports a message syntax, <!date^UNIX_TIMESTAMP^{format_tokens}|fallback text>, where the format tokens control which parts of the date and time are shown. Slack renders this locally for each person reading the message, converting it to their own timezone automatically — and the fallback text after the pipe is shown to anyone using a client that doesn't support the dynamic format (like some bots or integrations).

Building the same idea for Discord instead? See the Discord Timestamp Generator.
