Countdown Timer Generator
Create a live countdown to any date or event, plus embeddable widget code for your own site. Free to use, no signup required for occasional use.
What is the Countdown Timer Generator?
The Countdown Timer Generator creates a live, second-by-second countdown to any future date or event — a launch, wedding, exam, holiday, or deadline. Enter your event name and target date and time, and the tool displays a running countdown broken into days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Beyond the in-page display, it also generates standalone embeddable widget code (plain HTML and JavaScript) that you can copy and paste into your own website or blog to show the same live countdown to your visitors, with no dependency on this site once embedded.
How to use it
Enter a name for your event and pick the target date and time, then click 'Start countdown' to see the live countdown update every second. To use it elsewhere, copy the generated embed code from the box below and paste it into your website's HTML — it runs independently once embedded and needs no external script beyond what's included.
Frequently asked questions
Does the countdown keep running if I close the tab?
The in-page countdown only runs while the page is open; use the embed code on your own site for a countdown that persists there independently.
Is the embed code safe to paste into any website?
Yes, it's plain self-contained HTML and JavaScript with no external dependencies or tracking.
Can I create countdowns for multiple events?
Yes, generate and embed as many separate countdown widgets as you need, each with its own event name and date.
