DisDump is a client-side web application that extracts, downloads, and organizes all media attachments referenced in your Discord data export (package.zip). It automatically sorts downloaded media into structured subfolders by file extension and provides a built-in media viewer.
Live Web App: https://dump.vincentchan.uk
When you request your data from Discord under User Settings > Data & Privacy, the delivered package.zip does not contain the actual media binaries. Instead, it contains raw text logs (messages.json and .csv files) containing your message history.
DisDump recovers your attachments directly through the browser:
- In-Memory Stream Parsing: Using
fflate, DisDump streams and reads your JSON/CSV message logs entirely in memory without uploading your data to any remote server. - Attachment URL Extraction: It scans message content and attachment properties for Discord CDN URLs (
cdn.discordapp.comandmedia.discordapp.net)[cite: 3]. - Timestamp Normalization: The original message timestamp is extracted and prepended to each filename (e.g.,
YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS_filename.png), preserving chronological ordering[cite: 3]. - Direct Disk Streaming: Using the browser's native File System Access API (
showDirectoryPicker), DisDump downloads up to 16 files concurrently and streams the raw binaries straight to your local drive into extension-based folders (/png/,/jpg/,/mp4/,/pdf/).
Because your browser fetches the actual files directly from Discord's content delivery network, a tiny 14 KB text archive can pull down tens of gigabytes of original media.
Important Note: If the original server, channel, or message was deleted, Discord purges the stored media from its servers. Those expired links will return 404 errors and cannot be recovered.
DisDump supports visual categorization and OCR search across all your saved media using a local vision-language model.
