Create a countdown
Set a target and keep the countdown running in this browser tab.
Count down to any event
Choose a future date and time to create a live countdown in days, hours, minutes and seconds. Use it for launches, races, birthdays, travel, deadlines or events.
How the countdown works
The timer compares the selected target with the clock on your device and updates continuously. Keep the page open for a live display. Sleep mode, background-tab throttling or an incorrect device clock can affect what you see temporarily.
Time-zone considerations
Confirm the intended local time before sharing a deadline internationally. A date and time without a named time zone can be interpreted differently by people in other locations.
Frequently asked questions
Does the countdown continue if I close the page?
The target remains a point in time, but the live display requires the page to be open. Reopen or recreate it to see the updated remaining time.
Why is the timer different on another device?
The devices may have different clock settings or may interpret the target in different local time zones.
Can I compare event times across countries?
Use the Time Zone Converter first, then create the countdown from the correct local time.
