Insights from Profile Flags

Public badges reveal more than just status — they tell an account's history.

Developer Verification

Confirm if a user actually has an active development history by checking for the 'Active Developer' flag.

Trust & Safety

Verify high-authority accounts by spotting 'Discord Staff' or 'Partner' badges during sensitive interactions.

Historical Value

Identify 'OG' accounts by detecting legacy 'Early Supporter' badges from before Discord expanded.

The Discord Badge System Explained

Discord uses a bitfield integer called 'publicFlags' to represent which official badges a user has earned. Each bit in this number corresponds to a specific badge. Our tool decodes the integer and maps each active bit to its human-readable name.

Badges are encoded as a bitfield integer

The public flags field is a 32-bit integer where each bit represents one badge. For example, bit 1 (value 1) is Discord Staff, bit 2 (value 2) is Partner, and so on. We decode these bits to identify all active badges.

Legacy badges are preserved

Some badges — like 'Early Supporter' (awarded before October 2018), 'Bug Hunter Gold', or 'Hypesquad Events' — are no longer actively earnable. Our tool detects these legacy flags, making it useful for historical account verification.

Private badges cannot be detected

Discord's privacy settings allow users to hide some badges from their public profile. Our tool can only read what the public API provides. Hidden badges will not appear in results.
