Make and embed a countdown timer in three steps
- 01
Set the deadline
Add a title and the exact date and time your sale, launch or event ends. The timer counts down in days, hours, minutes and seconds.
- 02
Pick a style
Choose dark, light or a bold signal look. The live preview shows exactly what your visitors will see, ticking in real time.
- 03
Copy and paste
Copy the code and paste it into your website. The timer is self-contained — no script to install, no account, and it keeps counting on its own.
How to add a countdown timer to your website
A countdown timer creates urgency. A sale countdown timer on a product page, a launch countdown on a landing page, or a shipping-deadline clock in a header all do the same job: they show a visitor that the offer in front of them has an end, and that waiting has a cost. This free countdown timer generator makes that clock in seconds and gives you the code to embed it on your website.
The timer this tool produces is a self-contained HTML snippet. That means it works on any website — Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace or hand-written HTML — without installing a plugin or an app. Paste it where you want the countdown to appear and it starts ticking against the date you set, in the visitor’s own time zone, and swaps to your “ended” message the moment the deadline passes.
Because the countdown timer is plain HTML and JavaScript, it does not slow your site down and it does not phone home. It counts to a fixed date, so every visitor sees the same deadline whenever they load the page. When your promotion is bigger than a clock — when you want the banner to launch itself, the discount code to be real, and the whole thing to come down when time runs out — that is what OfferBanner is for.
Countdown timer questions
- Is this countdown timer generator free?
- Yes. Building the timer, previewing it and copying the embed code are all free, and there is no sign-up. The code is yours to paste on as many pages as you like.
- How do I embed a countdown timer on my website?
- Set the title and deadline, pick a style, then press “Copy code”. Paste the snippet into your site’s HTML where you want the timer to show — a Shopify section, a WordPress custom-HTML block, a Webflow embed, or straight into your page. It works immediately, with nothing else to install.
- Does the countdown timer work on Shopify, WordPress and Webflow?
- Yes. The timer is a self-contained HTML and JavaScript snippet, so it works anywhere you can paste HTML — Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace and plain HTML sites all included.
- Can I use this countdown timer in an email?
- No — email clients block JavaScript, so a live timer will not run in an inbox. This tool is built for websites and landing pages. An email countdown needs an animated-GIF timer, which this generator does not make.
- Does the timer keep counting after someone reloads the page?
- Yes. The timer counts down to the fixed date you set, so it shows the correct time remaining on every visit and reload, and reaches zero at the same moment for everyone.
- Can I change the timer after I paste it?
- Change the settings here and copy the new code, then replace the old snippet on your site. Since the deadline is written into the snippet, editing the code’s date directly works too.
