How Does It Work?

This tool extracts the exact publication date embedded in the metadata of any Tumblr post. Tumblr includes a parsely-pub-date meta tag in each post's HTML source, which contains the precise timestamp of when the post was created.

Once we retrieve the timestamp, it is converted into two date formats: UTC and the browser's local time, providing both a universal and localized perspective on when the post was originally published.

What can you do with the Tumblr Post Date Finder?

Whether you're researching viral content, verifying post timelines, or conducting digital investigations, knowing the exact date a Tumblr post was published is incredibly valuable.

  • OSINT Investigations: For those conducting open-source intelligence gathering, exact post dates provide critical timeline evidence.
  • Content Verification: Verify when content was originally posted to confirm its relevance and authenticity.
  • Legal Evidence: Knowing the exact date of a post can serve as crucial evidence in legal cases and disputes.
  • Journalistic Research: Journalists can confirm when content first appeared, ensuring accurate reporting and timelines.
  • Academic Citations: Researchers and students can reference Tumblr posts with precise date and time stamps.
  • Digital Archiving: Archivists and historians can keep precise records of online content and discussions.

Having both the UTC date and the local date helps ensure clarity when coordinating across different time zones or comparing events chronologically. We do not store or share your URLs; they're used solely to retrieve the creation date for you.
