Discord ID Lookup
free, no account and nothing to install.
every Discord ID has its creation time inside it. paste one and i’ll tell you exactly when the account, server, channel or message was made (and for a user ID, the name, avatar and banner too).
any ID decodes. profile mode needs a user ID, not a server or message ID.
Try
the creation date, age, Unix timestamp and internal counters show up here. switch modes for a user’s name, avatar and banner.
What a Discord ID contains
a snowflake is 64 bits, and here’s what every one of them does.
| Field | Bits | Width | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timestamp | 63 to 22 | 42 bits | Milliseconds since 1 January 2015. This is the creation date. |
| Worker | 21 to 17 | 5 bits | Which of Discord’s internal workers minted the ID. |
| Process | 16 to 12 | 5 bits | Which process on that worker minted it. |
| Increment | 11 to 0 | 12 bits | A counter that steps for every ID that process makes. |
Everything with an ID
six things in Discord have a snowflake, and the timestamp means the same in all of them.
- UserWhen the account was made. A user ID also resolves to a profile here.
- ServerWhen the server was created.
- ChannelWhen the channel was created.
- MessageWhen the message was sent.
- RoleWhen the role was created.
- EmojiWhen the emoji was uploaded.
What a user ID gets you
switch to profile mode and a user ID gets you these three, straight from Discord’s CDN.
- AvatarFull resolution, up to 1024px, as PNG, plus an animated GIF link if it is a Nitro avatar.
- BannerThe profile banner in full resolution, when the user has one set.
- Accent colourThe profile accent, shown as a hex code you can copy.
How it works
How to use
- in Discord, turn on Developer Mode (Settings, Advanced), then right-click any user, server, channel or message and pick Copy ID.
- paste the ID here and press Decode. you get the exact creation time (local and UTC), the age in days and the Unix timestamp.
- for a user ID, switch to Profile and downloads and you also get the name, avatar and banner at full resolution.
About this tool
Discord IDs are snowflakes, 64-bit numbers with a timestamp in the top bits. every user, server, channel, message, role and emoji has one, and since the timestamp is baked in, the ID on its own tells you exactly when that thing was created. decoding doesn’t call or look up anything. it’s just maths, and it runs in your browser.
the formula: shift the ID right by 22 bits and add Discord’s epoch, 1 January 2015. the bits left over hold internal worker and process numbers and a sequence counter, and i show those too.
profile mode is the one part that leaves the page. avatars and banners are public on a Discord profile, but Discord gives you no download button, so i ask my own service for the profile and link the images straight from Discord’s CDN at full size. no login and nothing to add to a server.
what people use it for: checking how old an account is (fresh accounts are a spam sign when you’re moderating), checking when a server was made, timestamping a message without opening the app, or saving a profile picture in high resolution.
Questions
How do I copy a Discord ID?
Turn on Developer Mode in Settings, Advanced. Then right-click a user, server icon, channel or message and pick Copy ID. On a user it says Copy User ID, and that long number is what you paste here.
Does this reveal private information?
No. A snowflake only holds its creation timestamp and some internal counters, so no names, emails or activity. Profile mode only shows what a Discord profile already shows in public: name, avatar, banner and accent colour.
Why do all IDs start with similar digits?
The top bits are a timestamp, so IDs made around the same time share their first digits. Newer IDs are bigger numbers.
What is Discord’s epoch?
Discord counts milliseconds from January 1, 2015 (Unix 1420070400000). A snowflake decoder adds that number to the timestamp bits.
Can I download animated avatars?
Yes. If someone has an animated (Nitro) avatar or banner, you get a GIF link next to the PNG.
Does this need a bot or login?
No. You just paste an ID, no login and nothing to add to a server. Avatars and banners are public profile images served from Discord’s CDN.
