What it does
Countdown timers are a common way to show visitors how long an offer, launch or event has left, but building one by hand usually means custom code or a clunky embed. This plugin works inside Elementor, so you place a countdown section on a page the same way you would any other element and adjust it from the editor without writing code.
You start from one of over 30 preset designs, then set the target date and time, change the colors and rename the unit titles for days, hours, minutes and seconds. You can flip the direction of the time units and choose a post-expire action for when the countdown ends. The timers are responsive and retina-ready, and a POT file is included for translating the text on multi-language sites.
Best for
- Online stores running time-limited sales
- Sites announcing product launches or upcoming events
- Elementor users who want countdowns without writing code
Features
Over 30 preset designs
Choose from more than 30 ready-made countdown layouts as a starting point, then adjust them to fit the look of your site.
Custom date, time and colors
Set the exact date and time the countdown targets and change its colors so the timer matches your brand.
Editable unit titles
Rename the labels for days, hours, minutes and seconds, which is handy for shorter labels or wording in another language.
Flip time unit direction
Change the direction in which the time units are displayed to give the countdown a different layout or animation feel.
Post-expire actions
Decide what happens on the page once the countdown reaches zero, so visitors are not left looking at an empty timer.
Responsive and retina-ready
Countdown sections adapt to different screen sizes and display sharply on high-resolution screens, from phones to desktop monitors.
Translation ready
A POT file is included, so you can translate the plugin's text for sites that run in other languages or several languages.
