You want to know someone's IP address on Facebook, Instagram ou Discord ? So know that it is extremely easy to recover an IP address, when you know the procedure to follow.
With this trick, you won't even need to have any computer knowledge.
How do I find a person's IP address?
What you will need
To identify a person's IP address, you will need Grabify IP Logger, a free service that generates a clickable link, which you will have to send to your target.
Imagine you are talking with a nobody on Discord ou Facebook, and she seems suspicious to you, provide her with the Grabify link and invite there to click on it. You will only have to return to the Grabify site to consult the analysis made by the tool!
If your target clicks on the link, it is possible to obtain:
- Its IP address.
- Its location information.
- Its operating system.
- Screen resolution.
- Browser name and version.
- Internet service provider.
Note that this tool is for educational use only. Illegal use must be avoided.
How to use Grabify IP?
To identify a person's IP address with Grabify, follow these steps:
- First of all, find a website for any topic of interest that you are sure your target would not resist visiting.
- Then go to grabify and paste this link in the box that says "Create URL".
- Then click on "Create URL". You should see a pop-up asking you to agree to their terms of service. You must click on Accept.
- Your URL is created successfully. You will now be taken to a new page with a handful of information.
This new page contains the following information:
- Your new url: it usually looks like “https://grabify.link/COLHK9”. This is the link that you will send to your target.
- Your tracking code: this is the code you would enter to access your logs.
- Your access link: this link helps you to consult your logs by visiting it directly. It can save you the stress of going back to the home page to enter your tracking code.
Once you've taken note of it and finished your customizations, send your link to the victim.
After you're sure it's clicked, head over to the Grabify homepage and enter your tracking code.
Finally, you should have in the section Results, all information about your target. This includes its IP address and location!
Protect yourself with a VPN
If the person is using a VPN, you won't see their true location. So l'using a VPN is essential to avoid falling victim to this attack.
Finally, do not hesitate to share this article if it was useful to you and to share your opinion by commenting, it will make me very happy.
The grabify site does not give me the exact times and gives random locations (I tested on another account of mine on insta and discord and it does not work)
Hello Hugo,
Grabify tracks the information of those who click on a link, but IP-based location isn't always accurate. IP geolocation databases generally provide the location of the internet service provider and not the exact location of the end user.
Additionally, some services like Instagram and Discord have, for some time, integrated protections which can interfere with traceability.
Hello,
Can we trace an IP address through a YouTube account please? I have doubts about someone who potentially created an account to make fun of my son. I'd like to make sure it's not a member of his family.
Hello Vanessa,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to obtain an IP address via a YouTube account.
If you suspect online harassment, report it directly to YouTube and discuss it with your son. In case of persistence, do not hesitate to contact the local authorities.
Hello
A fake instagram account has been created
The person sent private messages to a few people (insults and defamation)
Except that the account was deleted right after.
Is it still possible to trace its IP address? I know you need the url of the account but if in the meantime the person has changed their username before deleting the account? And we have the old URL so . How's it going ?
And another option, if the person created the account using their 4G, or a wifi network. And it was after the account was created that she activated a VPN, can that affect the location of the IP address or not?
Thank you
Hello, Is there another program than Grabify?
And another question if he has a VPN, I imagine that it gets around, I ask the question because a lot of people at the moment use these VPNs, hence my question
I used Grabify and it works very well, for example, if the person opens the link via wathsaap does it also work
Thank you
Hello katy,
To answer your first question, iplogger.org is the best alternative for Grabify.
Then, to bypass a VPN, it is possible but it is very difficult. It takes a lot of resources and skills.
Finally, Grabify should work on Whatsapp too.
And how do you do if the email is opened with a cell phone, you don't have something more specific?
For a cell phone, it's the same.
If the mail is opened with a telephone, you will receive the latter's IP address.
I sent this to my friend for fun and it gave 3 addresses
randomly and it wasn't even that city where he lived.
Does your friend use a VPN?
hello i need some info. Can you contact me privately please?

Why didn't you validate my question? She was quite correct.
Good morning. I did a test by sending myself an email to my inbox Gmail to see how the link would appear and the problem is that I received the grabify.link link instead of the page of the site I had selected. What do you think? THANKS.
I need help infact someone on discord showed my friend's face in a chat and he's probably going to post it on the networks so we're trying to report it but we need his ip address AND I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW MAKE
Hello Yoshi,
Using Grabify IP, you will be able to retrieve this person's IP address easily. Grabify IP is a web service that simply generates a trap link that allows when a person clicks on it to know their IP and determine their approximate location.
Should you send the original url or new url?
"New URL" is the link you need to send.
I need help finding who is behind a profile of Facebook
This method is valid for Facebook. Just send them the link generated by Grabify to get their IP address.
Can you give me a little more explanation please
