How to Find Your Steam ID (Step-by-Step Guide)

What Is a Steam ID?

A Steam ID is a unique identifier assigned to every Steam account. Think of it as your account's fingerprint — it never changes and uniquely identifies you across the entire Steam platform.

You might need your Steam ID for game servers, community forums, trading sites, or troubleshooting with Steam Support.

Method 1 – Check Your Profile URL

The quickest way — no tools needed. Just look at your Steam profile address in any browser.

✅ If you see a 17-digit number — that's your SteamID64, right there in the URL.

⚠️ If you see a name instead — you have a custom URL. Use Method 2 to convert it.

How to Find Your SteamID64 Specifically

SteamID64 is the most commonly required format — used by game servers, trading platforms, and most third-party Steam tools. Here's how to recognise it:

• From your profile URL: look for the number in steamcommunity.com/profiles/[YOUR-STEAMID64]
• Using our converter: paste any Steam ID format into our SteamID64 tool and it will show your Steam ID64 instantly.
• From a custom URL: if you only have /id/yourname, use a lookup tool to resolve it.

This is especially useful when you need someone's numeric ID for a game server whitelist or an admin panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my Steam ID change?

No — your Steam ID (especially SteamID64) is permanent. Even if you change your display name or custom URL, the underlying ID stays the same. That's what makes it a reliable unique identifier.

Is it safe to share my Steam ID?

Yes. It's a public identifier visible on your profile to anyone. However, never share your login credentials, password, or Steam Guard codes — those are private.

What's the difference between SteamID and SteamID64?

They're different formats representing the same account. SteamID uses the format STEAM_X:Y:Z, while SteamID64 is a 17-digit number. SteamID64 is more commonly used today because it's simpler and more consistent.

Can I find someone else's Steam ID?

Yes — if you have their profile URL or custom URL, paste it into our Steam ID lookup tool to find their Steam ID instantly. This works for any public Steam profile.
