Curious about who owns a Discord account? Whether you’re trying to figure out if a profile is real or just want to know more about the person, here are three simple methods to help you uncover their identity.

1. Look for Profile Details

Every Discord user has a unique username with a # and four digits (like chole#1234). If the username looks familiar, that might be your first clue!

Some users also write down nicknames or aliases on their profiles. To check, log into your Discord, go to your chat with the person, and look for any information under “AKA.” You can also click on their profile picture to view their User Info—sometimes, people add links to their social media or websites there. A quick click might lead you to more info!

2. Perform a Reverse Username Lookup

People tend to use the same username across different platforms—social media, forums, you name it. So, you can try searching their Discord username on Google to see if they’ve used it elsewhere.

For a more detailed search, you can use people search tools like Social Catfish. Just pop the username into the search bar, and it will scan through public records and online profiles.

Social Catfish will present a list of potential owners of said username. Information in the search report might include the person’s name, aliases, date of birth, address, email address, social media profiles, relatives, possible photos, criminal record, and much more.

3. Run a reverse Image search

Much like usernames, many people use the same profile picture across multiple social media, too!

You can do a reverse image search on their Discord profile picture to see where else it pops up online. Start with free tools like Google Images and TinEye – both are easy to use and powerful in locating images online. Just upload the person’s Discord profile picture into them, and these tools will scour the web to find any matches.

If the person is using a real photo of themselves, you can also try facial recognition search tools like PimEyes and FaceCheck. Both allow up to 10 free searches and might help you locate web pages where that face appears. Keep in mind that free versions may provide incomplete results, but they can still give you useful leads.
