About the Countdown Timer Generator
The Countdown Timer Generator lets you pick a target date and time, watch a live preview count down in days, hours, minutes, and seconds, and copy a self-contained HTML and JS snippet to paste into any page. It suits sale deadlines, launch dates, event pages, and registration cutoffs on WordPress, Webflow, plain HTML, or any site where you can add markup. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded or stored.
How it works
- Pick a target date and time, and add a title and expired message if you want them.
- Watch the live preview update every second so you can confirm the countdown is correct.
- Toggle unit labels on or off, or use a quick-set button like +1 day or +1 week to fill the fields.
- Click Copy to grab the generated snippet, then paste it into your page.
Features
- Live preview that recomputes every second as you change the settings.
- Self-contained HTML and JS snippet with no external libraries or dependencies.
- Optional title and a custom message shown when the timer reaches zero.
- Unit labels you can show or hide, plus quick-set buttons for common durations.
- One-click copy of the generated code.
Frequently asked questions
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The preview and the generated snippet are built entirely in your browser. No date, title, or message is sent to a server or logged.
Where can I paste the generated code?
Anywhere you can add HTML, such as a WordPress Custom HTML block, a Webflow embed, or a raw HTML file. The snippet includes its own script and runs on its own once the page loads.
What timezone does the countdown use?
The target time is read as the time on the device that views the page. The snippet stores the target as a fixed moment, so every visitor counts down to the same instant regardless of their local clock.
What happens when the timer reaches zero?
The countdown stops and the display is replaced with your expired message. If you leave that field blank, it shows the default message instead.
Does the generated timer keep running on its own?
Yes. The snippet sets its own one-second interval and updates the numbers without any further input. It does not depend on this page or any outside script.
