Is it free to embed a TimerHub timer?

Yes, on any site including commercial ones. There is no fee, no key and no page-view limit. Keep the credit link under the frame.

How do I embed a countdown timer on my website?

Copy the iframe from this page and paste it into your HTML, swapping the slug for whichever timer you want. There is no script tag and no account.

Embed a Timer on Your Site

Q: Can the embedded timer start automatically?

Add ?autostart=1 to the iframe src. Browsers block audio until a visitor interacts with the page, so an auto-started timer may finish silently until someone clicks.

One line of HTML puts a working countdown on any page. No script tag, no account, no tracking pixel, no ads.

Embed this timer

Paste this into any page — a class blog, a lesson plan, a meeting agenda — and visitors get a working 5 minute timer with no script tag, no account and no tracking. Please keep the credit link.

<iframe src="https://www.timerhub.io/embed/5-minute-timer" width="420" height="280" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" title="5 Minute Timer by TimerHub"></iframe>

How it works

Swap the slug in the URL for any timer on the site. Every page here has a matching embed at https://www.timerhub.io/embed/<slug>.
Add ?autostart=1 to the src and the countdown begins as soon as the frame loads.
The embed carries no header, footer or navigation — just the timer, its controls and a single credit link.
Embeds are set to noindex, so they never compete with your own page in search results.
Please keep the credit link under the frame. That is the only condition.

Visual timers for classroom pages

The visual timers embed the same way and work well on lesson pages, class blogs and school sites. Give them a taller frame — around 420 x 520 — so the drawing has room.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free to embed?▾

Yes, on any site including commercial ones. There is no fee, no key and no limit on page views. Keep the credit link and you are done.

Does the embed load any tracking?▾

The embedded page carries the same anonymous page analytics as the rest of the site and nothing else. No advertising, no third-party pixels, no cookies for identification.

Can I make it start automatically?▾

Add ?autostart=1 to the iframe src. Note that browsers block audio until a visitor interacts with the page, so an auto-started timer may reach zero silently until someone clicks.

Can visitors change the duration inside the embed?▾

Yes. They can click the countdown to type a new time and use the plus and minus buttons, exactly as on the full page. The duration you link to is just the starting point.

Will it work on a school network?▾

It is a plain iframe over HTTPS with no external scripts, which is the friendliest possible shape for a filtered network. Nothing needs installing.
