Discord snowflake decoder
Paste any Discord ID to see when it was made and how old it is. Use your user ID to check your account age, or a member's to spot a brand new account.

How to find a Discord ID
IDs are hidden until you turn on Developer Mode. It changes nothing else about Discord.
Turn on Developer Mode
User Settings, then Advanced, then Developer Mode. On the phone it is under App Settings, Advanced.
Copy the ID
Right-click a person, server, channel, or message (long-press on the phone) and choose Copy ID.
Paste it above
The date shows in your own time zone.
What a Discord snowflake holds
Discord calls its IDs snowflakes because no two are the same. Each one is a 64-bit number, and the first 42 bits count the milliseconds since the first second of 2015. That is why an ID tells you its own creation date, and why newer IDs are bigger numbers.
The last 22 bits say which of Discord's machines made it and keep IDs made in the same millisecond apart.
Timestamp, then worker, process, and increment. Created at = (ID shifted right 22 bits) + 1420070400000.
Keep brand new accounts out automatically
Raids and spam usually come from accounts made minutes before they join. With BotGhost, the no-code Discord bot maker, a verification bot checks each new member's account age and holds back anyone younger than the age you set.
2 days old
Too new to verify. Held back, and let in by itself once the account is 7 days old.
Discord ID and account age questions
To turn a date into a code everyone sees in their own time, use the Discord timestamp generator.
- How old is my Discord account?
- Copy your own user ID (Developer Mode, then right-click your name and Copy User ID) and paste it here. The first part of every ID is the moment it was made, so your user ID gives your account's creation date and age.
- What is a Discord snowflake?
- It's the number Discord uses as an ID for every user, server, channel, message, and role. It is unique and starts with a timestamp: the milliseconds since the first second of 2015.
- Can this find out who an ID belongs to?
- No. It only reads the date inside the number. It doesn't look anyone up, so it can't show a name or say whether two accounts are the same person.
- How can I spot a new account in my server?
- Paste the member's user ID here and look at its age. A bot can do it for everyone who joins: BotGhost's verification module can hold back accounts younger than a set age.
- Is it safe to share a Discord ID?
- Yes. An ID is public to anyone who shares a server with you and only says when the thing was created. It is not a password or a token.
- What are the worker, process, and increment numbers?
- Internal details of the Discord server that made the ID, and a counter so two IDs made in the same millisecond still differ. They are useful for developers, not for spotting accounts.
