Find your Steam ID from your profile page
Your Steam ID is the number in your Steam profile URL. You may need it when you connect your account to a gaming platform, contact support, or enter your account details in a third-party tool.
You can find it in the Steam desktop app on a Windows PC or laptop. The important part is opening your own profile page, then checking or copying its web address.

How to find your Steam ID in the Steam app
- Open the Steam app and sign in to the account you need.
- Go to the top-right corner of Steam, where your username appears.
- Select the dropdown next to your username.
- Choose View Profile.
- Look at the URL for your profile page. The numbers in that URL are your Steam ID.
Copy those numbers if the service you are using asks specifically for a Steam ID. Be careful to copy the account number, not extra text from the rest of the profile address.
If you do not see the profile URL
You might not see the profile address clearly while viewing your profile in Steam. In that case, you can copy the page address first and then paste it somewhere you can read it.
- Stay on your View Profile page.
- Right-click in the page area.
- Select Copy Page URL.
- Paste the copied URL into a text field or document.
- Locate the number in the pasted profile URL and copy it as your Steam ID.
This is useful when you only need the ID once and want to keep a copy available for account setup or a support request. It also helps you avoid trying to type a long number manually.
Use Steam ID Finder to extract the number
If you would rather not pick the number out of the URL yourself, the free Steam ID Finder tool from Convert Resize can extract it for you. You still start by copying your Steam profile URL.
- Copy your profile page URL using the steps above.
- Go to Convert Resize.
- Use the search box and type Steam.
- Select Steam ID Finder.
- Paste your copied Steam profile URL into the tool.
- Select Find ID.
- Copy the Steam ID shown in the result.
This option is handy if you are unsure which part of the address is the ID. The tool returns the number separately, so you can copy and paste it where it is needed.
What you can use a Steam ID for
A Steam ID identifies your specific Steam account. Your username can be easier for people to recognize, but an account ID gives services a consistent number to work with.
You may be asked for your Steam ID when connecting Steam to another gaming platform, setting up a third-party gaming tool, managing account-related information, or sharing details with technical support. Some services ask for a profile URL instead of the number. Check the field label before pasting anything. If it asks for a URL, use the full copied profile address. If it asks for a Steam ID, use only the number extracted from that address.
Keep your account details accurate
Before submitting your Steam ID, compare it with the URL from your own View Profile page. This matters if you use more than one Steam account. A copied ID stays in your clipboard only until you copy something else, so paste it into the required field right away or save it temporarily in a private note.
Your Steam ID can be copied from the Steam app in a few steps: open your username menu, select View Profile, copy the profile URL if needed, and use the number from that address. If you want the number separated automatically, paste the profile URL into Steam ID Finder and select Find ID.
