Post Time Finder for LinkedIn®

Paste any LinkedIn® post URL and instantly reveal the exact date and time it was published, decoded straight from the link. Handy for competitive research or verifying a repost.

100% free No sign-up Instant results Works in your browser

Example: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/username_post-title-activity-1234567890123456789

Long LinkedIn® post URLs are processed entirely in your browser. Short lnkd.in links are first resolved via a lightweight server call (no data is stored).

How it works

Find out exactly when a LinkedIn® post was published

Paste a URL, get the exact timestamp. No guessing involved.

1

Copy the post's URL

Open the LinkedIn® post you want to check and copy its link, either from the post's menu ("Copy link to post") or straight from your browser's address bar.

2

Paste it and hit Get the Post Date

Drop the URL into the box and click the button. The tool decodes the publish timestamp that LinkedIn® embeds in the post's activity ID, right in your browser.

3

Read the exact publish date and time

See the UTC and your local date and time the post actually went live, useful for confirming when content first appeared or spotting a repost.

Why this tool

A precise way to see when any post actually went live

Decoded straight from the URL

LinkedIn® encodes a publish timestamp inside every post's activity ID. This tool extracts it directly, no lookup and no database involved.

Instant, no waiting

Paste a link and get the date back in about a second. Nothing to install, nothing to configure.

Runs entirely in your browser

The URL is decoded client-side. Nothing is uploaded or stored on a server.

Handy for competitive research

Check exactly when a competitor or peer actually posted, useful context before you plan your own content.

Spot a repost

If someone re-shares an old post as if it were new, the decoded timestamp reveals its real original publish date.

Works with common URL formats

Supports the standard LinkedIn® post link formats, including activity, ugcPost, and share URNs.

Not just a free tool

One free tool. A whole platform behind it.

Calendar, Chrome extension, inbox, integrations, analytics: the carousel generator is one small piece of what Reepl actually does.

See what's actually working before you post the next one.

FAQ

What this tool can (and can't) tell you

It's a URL decoder, not a posting-time recommender. Here's what that means in practice.

What does this tool actually do?

It reads the numeric ID inside a LinkedIn® post URL and decodes the timestamp embedded in it, so you can see the exact date and time the post was published.

Does this tell me the best time to post?

No. This tool only reveals when a specific, already-published post went live. It doesn't analyze audience activity or recommend posting times.

Do I need the post's URL, or can I search by name?

You need the post's URL. Open the post on LinkedIn®, copy its link from the post menu, and paste it into the tool.

Is the extracted date accurate?

Yes. The timestamp is decoded directly from the ID LinkedIn® assigns to the post, the same value LinkedIn® itself uses, so it isn't an estimate.

Is it free?

Yes. No login required.
