How Does It Work?

Reddit embeds each post's exact creation date in its publicly accessible web page. This tool finds the post date in the page source and provides it to you in both UTC and your local timezone, giving a universal and localized perspective on the exact moment the post was made.

Reddit Post Date Research

The Reddit Post Date Finder is a free, quick, and easy way to discover the exact moment a Reddit post was published. It's great for:

Research and Investigations: Journalists and researchers can confirm when a post first appeared, ensuring accurate timelines.
Verification: Fact-checkers, moderators, and everyday users can validate claims by confirming the post's original publish date.
Record-Keeping: Archivists and digital historians can keep precise records of internet discussions.
Accurate Citations: Writers, bloggers, and students can reference Reddit posts in their work with correct date and time stamps.

By making it simple to extract exact timestamps, you eliminate the guesswork and potential errors that come with relying on approximate or relative post ages (“3 months ago,” “2 years ago,” etc.). Having both the UTC date and the local date also helps ensure clarity when coordinating across different time zones or comparing events chronologically.

Note: We do not store or share your URLs; they’re used solely to retrieve the creation date for you.
