Free email countdown timer — no signup
Build a live countdown timer for your next email in seconds. Set the date, pick a timezone, and copy the image URL — no account required. Every open shows the real time remaining, down to the second — not the time you hit send.
No account needed, and your timer gets a permanent image URL. Free generator timers render up to 5,000 times a month. Create a free account to edit the timer later and get 10,000 renders a month across all your widgets.

How it works
Your timer is a plain image URL. Paste it into an <img> tag — or your email editor’s image block — and it works in any email tool that can display an image. The file extension is the format you get: render.gif is the animated timer, render.png a static snapshot of the time at open.
Because the image is rendered when the email is opened — not when it’s sent — each open shows the time remaining, accurate to the second. No script, no custom HTML, nothing for your email platform to strip out.
Frequently asked questions
Is the countdown timer really free with no signup?
Yes. Create a timer here with no account and you get a permanent image URL you can paste into any email. Free generator timers render up to 5,000 times a month. Create a free account to edit the timer later and get 10,000 renders a month.
How do I add the countdown timer to my email?
Copy the image URL — or the ready-made <img> snippet — and paste it into your email, either in an <img> tag or your email tool's image block. It works anywhere an image works, with no script or custom HTML for your email platform to strip out.
Is the timer actually live?
Yes. The image is rendered when the email is opened, not when it is sent, so each open shows the time remaining accurate to the second (renders are briefly cached, on the order of a second). Open the same email tomorrow and the timer is a day shorter.
Does the countdown work in Outlook and Gmail?
Yes — the timer is a standard image, so it displays wherever images do. The file extension you use is the format you get: render.gif is the animated timer, render.png is a static snapshot of the time at open. A few clients, like classic Outlook for Windows, show only the first frame of a GIF — still an accurate snapshot of the countdown at open time.
Can I edit the timer after I create it?
Create a free account and claim the timer, then you can change the date, timezone, colors, and mode anytime. A free account raises the render cap to 10,000 a month across all your widgets.
