Discord Badges Viewer and Flag Decoder

How to use the Badges Viewer and Flag Decoder

1. Paste a public_flags integer to decode it into badge names.
2. Or scroll the directory to see how each badge is obtained.
3. Check which badges are still obtainable versus permanently retired.

Types of Discord Badges

Badges in Discord represent contributions, roles, subscriptions, and milestones:

• Instant Free Badges: HypeSquad Houses (Bravery, Brilliance, Balance) can be unlocked instantly by taking the in-app quiz. Active Developer can be claimed by developers with an active bot.
• Subscription Badges: Discord Nitro and Server Booster badges upgrade visually over time (from 1 month up to 24+ months).
• Legacy / Rare Badges: Early Supporter, Early Verified Bot Developer, and Discord Certified Moderator are retired and cannot be acquired by new accounts.
• Staff & Partner Badges: Reserved for Discord employees, bug bounty hunters, and partnered server owners.

Badges, public_flags, and which are still obtainable

Profile badges are stored as bits in the account's public_flags integer, which is why the same badge set always produces the same number. Decoding that integer gives you the exact badges an account holds, and it is how bots and profile tools render badges without special access. Nitro and boost badges are handled separately from public_flags, so a decode will not show those.

A meaningful share of badges can no longer be earned. Early Supporter closed to new accounts, and several developer and partner programme badges are either retired or in a state where new grants are rare. Others remain obtainable: HypeSquad house badges through the quiz, Active Developer through maintaining an application with a recent command execution, and Bug Hunter through Discord's testing programme.

Badges are also a light verification signal. A staff or partner badge is issued by Discord and cannot be faked in the client, so an account claiming affiliation without the corresponding badge is worth questioning. That said, badges say nothing about intent, and impersonation usually relies on names and avatars rather than any attempt to fake a badge.

Common problems and fixes

• A badge does not appear in the decode
  Nitro and boost badges are not stored in public_flags and must be read from separate fields.
• A badge you earned is missing
  Some badges take time to propagate, and Active Developer requires re-verification annually.
• An account displays an unexpected badge
  Check the raw public_flags value, since some client themes and browser extensions render badges that Discord does not issue.
