Free Reddit Deleted & Removed Comment Viewer

See deleted Reddit comments in seconds. Paste a Reddit username or a thread URL and we pull the original text of comments that were later removed or deleted on Reddit — straight from the public Arctic Shift archive.

This tool pulls public archived comments from the Arctic Shift archive. It shows the original text of comments later removed or deleted on Reddit. It does not recover private messages, content that was never archived, or anything that was never publicly posted.

How it works

  1. 01

    Paste a username or thread URL

    Enter a Reddit username (with or without the u/ prefix) or paste the full URL of a Reddit thread that contains /comments/ in the path.

  2. 02

    We query the public archive

    Your browser queries the Arctic Shift archive directly. Arctic Shift continuously archives public Reddit data, keeping the original comment body even after it is removed or deleted on the live site.

  3. 03

    Read the original text

    Each result shows the original comment, its subreddit, score, and a link to the live thread. Comments later removed by moderators or deleted by their author are clearly badged.

Frequently asked questions

Paste the Reddit username or the thread URL above and press View comments. The tool queries the public Arctic Shift archive, which stores the original text of public comments before they are removed or deleted on Reddit, and shows them to you.

Often, yes. If the comment was archived before a moderator removed it, the original text is preserved in the archive even though Reddit now shows [removed]. The same applies to comments the author later deleted, which Reddit shows as [deleted].

Yes. Enter the username and the tool returns that user's most recent archived comments, with any that were later removed or deleted clearly labelled.

It is completely free and no account or login is required. The tool runs in your browser and queries a public archive directly.

Archives are not exhaustive. If a comment was deleted very quickly, was never publicly visible, or was posted in a private or quarantined space, it may never have been archived. In that case there is no copy to recover.

This tool only surfaces content that was publicly posted to Reddit and publicly archived. It does not access private data. As always, use the information responsibly and respect people's privacy.
