Snowflake ID Converter
Decode a Discord, Twitter/X or Instagram Snowflake ID to its embedded creation timestamp — to the millisecond.
UTC / GMT
Your local time

Unix milliseconds
How it works
The timestamp is recovered by shifting the ID right 22 bits and adding the platform epoch: ms = (id >> 22) + epoch, computed with exact big integers.
Everything is computed locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Snowflake ID?
A Snowflake is a 64-bit ID used by Discord, Twitter/X and Instagram. Its high bits encode the creation time in milliseconds since a platform-specific epoch, so the ID itself tells you when the object was made.
Which epoch does each platform use?
Discord: 2015-01-01, Twitter/X: 2010-11-04, Instagram: 2011-08-24. Pick the platform and the tool applies the right epoch.
