What it does

When you request your data from Discord, you receive a ZIP file containing all your account information — messages, servers, activity, and more. This tool takes that ZIP and generates a single discord_viewer.html file that works completely offline, with no server, no installation, and no internet connection required after generation.

What's inside the viewer

• Full message history — every DM and server channel you've ever written in, with proper Discord markdown, spoilers, @mentions, custom emoji, and attachments
• Smart message grouping — consecutive messages from the same author are grouped together with mini profile pictures, exactly like Discord
• Media playback — image previews, a custom video player, audio player for voice messages, and Tenor GIFs
• Statistics & Interactive Charts — dynamic graphs for hourly, daily, and all-time messaging activity, plus top emoji usage and active servers
• Word cloud — a visual map of your most-used words
• Live search & Filtering — search through all your messages instantly with keyword highlighting, and quick date range filters
• Rich Account info — view your account creation date, badges (HypeSquad, Active Developer, etc.), device info, Nitro history, linked accounts, and payment history
• Fast Navigation — floating jump-to-top/bottom buttons, instant "Load More" header controls, and a smooth loading progress bar

Requirements

• Python 3.13.12 — that's it, no other dependencies required

Optional (for better avatar rendering — extracts a static frame from animated GIFs):

pip install Pillow

How to use

Step 1 — Request your Discord data

1. Open Discord → Settings → Privacy & Safety
2. Scroll down and click "Request all of my Data"
3. Wait a few days — Discord will email you a download link
4. Download the ZIP file (do not extract it)

⚠️ Important: Your Discord interface language must be set to English when you request the data package. If Discord is set to another language (Greek, French, German, Spanish, etc.), the folder names inside the ZIP will be translated and the tool will not work correctly.

To change language: Discord Settings → Language → English, then request your data again.

Step 2 — Run the tool

GUI mode (recommended — double-click friendly):

python generate_discord_viewer.py

A window opens. Click Browse ZIP, select your Discord data ZIP file, then click ⚡ Generate HTML. When it finishes, click 🌐 Open in Browser.

CLI mode (for power users):

python generate_discord_viewer.py E:\package.zip

---

Step 3 — Open the viewer

The tool saves a discord_viewer.html file next to your ZIP. Open it in any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge). No internet connection needed.

Expected ZIP structure

The tool expects the standard English Discord data package structure:

Expected ZIP structure — click to expand

package.zip
└── package/
    ├── Account/
    │   ├── user.json                    ← REQUIRED
    │   ├── avatar.gif / .png
    │   ├── applications/
    │   ├── recent_avatars/
    │   └── user_data_exports/           ← Nitro/payments history
    ├── Messages/
    │   ├── index.json                   ← REQUIRED
    │   └── c<channel_id>/
    │       ├── channel.json
    │       └── messages.json
    ├── Servers/
    │   ├── index.json
    │   └── <server_id>/
    │       ├── guild.json
    │       ├── audit-log.json
    │       ├── channels.json
    │       ├── emoji.json
    │       ├── icon.jpeg / icon.gif
    │       └── …
    ├── Activity/
    │   └── reporting/                   ← activity events (NDJSON)
    ├── Activities/
    ├── Ads/
    └── Support_Tickets/

Only Account/user.json and Messages/index.json are required — everything else is optional and gracefully skipped if absent.

Privacy

Everything runs locally on your machine. The script never sends any data anywhere. The generated HTML file only makes external requests for:

• Google Fonts — to render the UI fonts
• Discord CDN — to load custom server emoji by ID
• Tenor — thumbnail previews for GIF links (pre-fetched during generation)

Your messages, account info, and personal data never leave your computer.

Troubleshooting

"Non-English Package Detected" warning Your ZIP was created while Discord was set to a non-English language. Change Discord's language to English, request a new data package, and use that ZIP instead.

Avatar not showing Place your avatar.gif or avatar.png inside the Account/ folder of the extracted package, or make sure it's present inside the ZIP.

Generation fails or shows missing data Make sure you selected the correct ZIP — the original Discord data package, not a re-zipped or renamed version. The internal folder structure must match the expected layout above.

customtkinter not found The tool will attempt to install it automatically. If that fails, run:

pip install customtkinter
