Countdown widgets for your website

Put a live countdown on your blog, school page or shop's site. Pick a date, copy one line of code, and paste it where you want the countdown to show. It's free, there's nothing to sign up for, and it rolls on to the next date all by itself.

How to add one

  1. Find your countdown and select Copy embed code.
  2. In your site's editor, add a block for custom HTML or embed code, and paste the code in.
  3. Save or publish the page. The countdown starts ticking right away.

On WordPress, use a Custom HTML block. On Google Sites, choose Insert, then Embed, and paste it on the Embed code tab. Squarespace has a Code block, and most other site builders have something similar. If yours strips the code out, check whether your plan allows embeds.

Sizing tips

  • Each widget is 250 pixels tall and up to 440 pixels wide. It shrinks to fit narrower columns, so it works on phones too.
  • Keep the height at 250 so the date and credit always show. To make it narrower, lower the max-width value in the code.
  • To center it, add display:block;margin:0 auto; to the start of the style in the code.

No tracking, no cookies

Widgets set no cookies, use no local storage, and never carry ads or analytics. Each one loads from daysuntilnext.com, so showing it sends our host the same basic request details as any web page. Our privacy policy has the details.

A small โ€œDaysUntilNextโ€ credit inside the widget links back to us. Credit is appreciated but not required, as our terms explain.

Every countdown widget

Open a category, pick a date, and copy its code. Every widget works just like the ones above, in its own color.
