Reddit Post Date FinderFind when any Reddit post or comment was published — exact timestamp, not "2 years ago"
Paste any Reddit post or comment URL and get the exact UTC publication timestamp. Reddit only shows you "X years ago" — this tool reads the underlying created_utc field and converts it to a precise ISO 8601 datetime, plus your local timezone.
How Does the Reddit Post Date Finder Work?
Reddit's UI is intentionally relative — it shows "2 years ago" but never the exact date. The Post Date Finder reads the underlying created_utc Unix timestamp from Reddit's public JSON metadata and converts it into a precise UTC datetime plus your local-timezone equivalent. No login, no API keys, no estimation — just the actual stored timestamp.

How to See the Exact Date of a Reddit Post
Reddit only shows a relative label like “2 years ago” or “7 months ago” — the exact date a Reddit post was made is never displayed in the UI. There are three common ways to check the date of a Reddit post:
- Paste the URL into this tool: the fastest way to see the exact date of a Reddit post. Drop in any post or comment URL and the Post Date Finder returns the precise UTC timestamp from Reddit’s public JSON metadata.
- Hover the relative label on desktop: Reddit shows a tooltip with the absolute date when you hover the “X ago” label. Desktop only, locale-dependent format, and you have to do it one post at a time.
- Append
.jsonto the post URL: the manual route. You’ll get raw JSON back with acreated_utcUnix timestamp that you have to convert yourself — this tool just automates that step.
Reddit Post ID → Timestamp Decoder
Every Reddit post has a short ID in its URL — for example 1j8q472 or qipyif. These IDs are base-36 encoded sequential values, so newer posts have larger IDs. The ID alone doesn’t directly encode a timestamp, but every Reddit post ID can be resolved to its created_utc value by asking Reddit’s public API — which is exactly what this Reddit post ID timestamp decoder does under the hood.
You don’t need to write base-36 conversion yourself or guess from creation order. Paste the full post URL (the ID is the segment after /comments/) and the tool returns the exact UTC datetime.
Reddit Comment Date Finder
Comment timestamps work the same way as post timestamps. Paste any Reddit comment permalink — the URL that points directly to a comment, ending in /comment/<id>/ or any “Share > Copy link” URL from a comment — and the tool will return the exact UTC date and time the comment was posted. Useful for finding the exact date a comment was made when reviewing thread timelines, citing a comment in research, or investigating bot activity in long threads.
Reddit Post Date Finder vs Peak Time Finder
Two different problems, two different tools. Use the one that matches your job:
- Post Date Finder (this page): you have a Reddit URL and need the exact UTC timestamp of an existing post or comment. Converts “2 years ago” into a precise date.
- Peak Time Finder: use this instead if you want to know when YOU should publish your own post. It analyzes the past 30 days of top posts in any subreddit and surfaces the best days and hours to post.
