Discord Username Lookup

Discord no longer lets outside sites search users by username. Here is how to find someone directly in Discord, plus a free decoder for any Discord ID or message link.

Why there is no user search here: Discord no longer allows third-party tools to look up its users, so no website can legitimately search a username or show a profile. Here is what you can do instead.

Find someone by username, inside Discord

Discord's own app is the only place that can still search users. Three ways that work:

  1. Add them by exact username

    Open Friends › Add Friend and type their username. If Discord can't find it, the name is wrong or they don't accept friend requests.

  2. Search a server you share

    In the server's search bar, type from: followed by the name, or start typing @ and the name in the message box: Discord suggests matching members.

  3. Open their profile

    Click their name or avatar on any message to see their profile. With Developer Mode on, Copy User ID gives you an ID you can decode here.

Decode a Discord ID or message link

Paste an ID, a mention or a message link to see when the account, server, channel or message was created. It runs in your browser: nothing is sent to Discord.

Try an example:

Get a Discord ID in three steps

IDs are hidden by default. Here is how to copy one:

  1. Turn on Developer Mode

    User Settings › Advanced › Developer Mode. On mobile: Settings › App Settings › Advanced.

  2. Copy the ID

    Right-click (or long-press on mobile) a user, server, channel or message and choose Copy ID.

  3. Or copy a message link

    Copy Message Link works without Developer Mode. Paste it into the decoder to date the server, the channel and the message at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still look up a Discord user by username?
No. Discord no longer allows third-party tools to search its users, so no website can legitimately turn a username into a profile. A site that still claims to do it is showing outdated or scraped data at best. Discord's own app is the only reliable source: the steps at the top of this page show how to find someone there.
How do I find someone on Discord by their username?
Open Friends, then Add Friend, and type their exact username. If you share a server, search it with from: followed by their name, or type @ and the start of their name in the message box. Add Friend needs the exact username, not the display name.
How do I check if a Discord username is available?
Only Discord can tell you. Open User Settings, then My Account, and edit your username: Discord says right away whether the name you type is taken. Third-party availability checkers have no official way to query it.
Can I see someone's old Discord usernames?
No. Discord does not publish username history, and no official API exposes it. To recognize someone who changed their name, rely on their user ID, which never changes: copy it with Developer Mode and keep it.
What can a Discord ID tell me about someone?
Only when the account was created. Every Discord ID stores its creation time, which the decoder on this page reads in your browser. An ID does not reveal a name, an email, an IP address or a location.
Where can I find Discord servers about a topic?
Browse the DiscordGate server directory: search by name or keyword, filter by language and sort by member count. The popular categories at the bottom of this page are a quick way in.
