Questions
Made by Redact. Not made by, or affiliated with, Discord.
See how much you've said
Your package holds every message you've sent and not deleted since the day you joined. The viewer adds them up: how many there are, how many places they're in, and how they're spread out across all the years it covers.
- Message and conversation totals
- A bar for every year on Discord
- How many carry an image or a file
See when you're active on Discord
The same messages, laid out by time. See which hours you write in, which days of the week, and which months were your busiest. Every chart can be switched to another view or to a plain table of its numbers.
- Your messages by month, by hour of the day and by day of the week
- Any chart as bars, a line, a pie or a table
- Your first message, your busiest day and your longest run of days
Find where you said something
Every server channel, DM and group chat you've posted in, busiest first, with the dates of your first and last message there. A server you left years ago is still on the list with the rest.
- A message count for each server
- The first and last message dates for every conversation you've had
- A filter by server, channel or person, sorted by busiest, newest or oldest
Find what shouldn't be out there
Look up your address, your phone number or an old username across everything at once. Each match shows what you wrote, when, and where, and opens the conversation it came from.
- One search across every message you've sent, with every match counted
- The date and place of every match
- Filters for date, server, DM and group
List what's still in servers you've left
Leave a server and Discord shuts your account out of it, so Redact can't reach what you wrote there. Discord's help pages say to write to its privacy team instead, and the viewer writes the list for them, grouped by channel. Nothing is deleted and nothing is sent.
- Every channel in a server you've left, or the ones you tick
- A range of days, a few words, or both
- Each channel's ID with its message IDs, ready to copy or save as a file
See what else Discord kept
A package holds more than messages. The viewer reads the account file, the payments and the activity log too, and shows what Discord recorded about you and what it inferred. The activity log can run to a gigabyte, so it's only read when you ask for it.
- How often you open the app, time in voice, calls, reactions and edits
- Payments by currency and your servers
- What Discord has worked out about you, such as an age group
How it works
Three steps, and the only wait is Discord's.
Built to stay on your device
A data package is the most personal file Discord can give you. It's treated that way.
Discord data packages: FAQ
In Discord on a computer, open User Settings with the cogwheel, choose Data & Privacy, and under Request your data press Request Data. Pick what to include, making sure Messages is selected, then press Request My Data. Discord emails a download link to the address on your account. It says this can take up to 30 days, and the download link stays active for 30 days once it arrives.
Download the ZIP from Discord's email and drop it on this page. There's no need to unzip it first. If you've already unzipped it, drop the folder instead. The viewer finds the messages inside and shows them as conversations, grouped by server, DM and group chat.
No. Your browser reads the ZIP where it sits on your device. No part of it is sent to Redact or to anyone else, which you can confirm by turning off your internet connection after the page loads and opening the package anyway, which works exactly the same offline.
Because that's all a data package contains. Discord includes the messages you sent and leaves out what other people wrote, so a conversation here reads as your side only.
Messages you've deleted aren't included. Discord's help page says a deleted message is no longer stored and won't be in the package. Calls are also left out here, since a call isn't something you wrote.
The package lists a name for each channel Discord can still name. When a channel or server has been deleted, or the package has no name for it, your messages are still there but the viewer can only label them as an unknown channel, with every date and every word of them still intact.
Only their names and addresses. For each attachment the package holds the address where the file was stored on Discord, not the file itself. The viewer shows the file's name and can list a conversation's addresses as plain text for you to copy. It doesn't turn an address into a link and doesn't open one.
Yes, for servers you've left. Redact deletes your messages in DMs, and in the group chats and servers you're still in. Once you leave a server, Discord shuts your account out of it, so Redact can't reach what you wrote there while you're out. If you can rejoin, Redact can delete them once you're back in. For a server you can't rejoin, and a channel your package can no longer name, the viewer writes out each channel's ID with the matching message IDs under it, by a range of days and words if you like, to copy or save as a text file. Discord's help pages say to write to its privacy team for help deleting content, but they don't set a layout for the list, so the team may ask for it another way. Nothing is deleted, and whether to send it is up to you.
Yes. Save a copy puts every message you sent into one CSV or plain text file, and an open conversation can be saved by itself. The file is made in your browser from the package you opened.
It still opens. The viewer shows what the package does hold, such as your account details, your servers, your payments and what Discord has worked out about you.
They're Discord's log of what you did in the app, and they can run to a gigabyte. The viewer leaves them alone until you press Read the activity files too. Then it goes through them a small piece at a time and shows your app opens, your time in voice, your calls, your reactions and your edits.
Redact deletes your messages in DMs, and in the group chats and servers you're still in. A message in a server you've left still appears in your package, but Redact can't reach it while you're out. If you can rejoin, Redact can delete it once you're back in.
