Discord Snowflake ID Decoder
Every Discord ID (for a user, message, channel, server, or role) is a snowflake that hides the exact moment it was created. Paste one below to reveal its creation date, Unix timestamps, and internal parts. Everything runs in your browser.
Worker ID, process ID, and increment identify which of Discord's internal workers generated the ID and its sequence, handy for spotting duplicates or verifying an ID is genuine.
Discord snowflake structure
A snowflake is a 64-bit integer. The high 42 bits hold the creation time in milliseconds since Discord's epoch (1420070400000, the first moment of 2015), and the remaining bits identify the worker, process, and sequence that generated it.
| Field | Bits | How to extract |
|---|---|---|
| Timestamp (ms since Discord epoch) | 42 | (id >> 22) + 1420070400000 |
| Internal worker ID | 5 | (id >> 17) & 0x1F |
| Internal process ID | 5 | (id >> 12) & 0x1F |
| Per-process increment | 12 | id & 0xFFF |
Discord snowflakes, explained
What is a Discord snowflake?+
A snowflake is the unique 64-bit ID Discord assigns to every user, message, channel, server, role, and more. Most of those bits encode the exact millisecond the object was created, which is why an ID can be decoded back into a timestamp (no API call required).
How do I find a Discord ID?+
Open Discord, go to User Settings → Advanced and turn on Developer Mode. Then right-click any user, message, channel, or server and choose "Copy ID". Paste that number here to decode it.
Can I get the creation date of any account, server, or message?+
Yes. Every snowflake (whether it belongs to an account, server, channel, role, or message) contains its own creation timestamp, so pasting any of them reveals exactly when it was made.
Is it free?+
Completely free with no login or account required. Everything runs locally in your browser, so the IDs you paste never leave your device.
