Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a countdown timer?
Enter a title for your event, pick a target date and time, choose your timezone, then click "Generate Shareable Link". The live countdown updates every second automatically.
Can I share the countdown with others?
Yes! Click "Generate Shareable Link" to get a URL that contains all your settings. Anyone who opens that link will see the same countdown running in real time.
How do I embed the countdown on my website?
After generating a shareable link, an embed code section appears with a ready-to-use <iframe> tag. Copy it and paste it into your website's HTML.
What happens when the countdown reaches zero?
The timer displays an "Event ended" message when the target date and time has passed. The countdown stops at zero.
Which timezones are supported?
The tool supports 18 common timezones including UTC, all US timezones, major European and Asian timezones, and more. Select your timezone from the dropdown to ensure the countdown is accurate for your audience.
Does the countdown work in different time zones for viewers?
Yes. The shareable link encodes the target timezone so every viewer sees the correct time remaining regardless of their own location.
Is the countdown accurate to the second?
The countdown updates every second using your browser's built-in clock, so it is accurate to within one second.
Can I use this for New Year or holiday countdowns?
Absolutely! Set the target date to midnight on January 1st (or any holiday), choose the correct timezone, and share the link with your audience.
Is there a limit on how far in the future the target date can be?
No limit. You can create a countdown to any date supported by your browser's date picker, which typically covers years well beyond 2100.
Does this tool store my countdown data?
No. All settings are encoded directly in the shareable URL as query parameters. Nothing is stored on any server — your data stays in your browser.
