Your Steam ID is the unique number tied to your Steam account, and you may need it for support, account data, server tools, or a site that asks for your SteamID64. Start with your Steam profile, then use the other current Steam surfaces if the number is hidden.
Find It From Edit Profile
Use this first when you can open your Steam Community profile and you have not set a custom profile URL. Steam shows the 17-digit SteamID64 directly in the profile editor.
Open your Steam Community profile, then choose Edit Profile.
Go to General and look for CUSTOM URL.
When the CUSTOM URL box is empty, look at the URL shown below it. The 17-digit number in the format 76561198######### is your Steam ID.
Reveal It When Your Custom URL Hides It
The most common cause is that your profile uses a custom Steam Community URL, so the address shows a name after /id/ instead of a number after /profiles/.
Open your Steam Community profile and select Edit Profile.
Go to General.
In CUSTOM URL, delete the custom text temporarily.
Do not select Save unless you actually want to remove or change that custom URL.
Read the 17-digit number shown in the URL below the box, copy it, then restore your custom URL text before leaving the page.
Read It In The Browser Address Bar
This works when your public profile URL already uses the default numeric profile address.
- 1.Sign in at steamcommunity.com or store.steampowered.com.
- 2.Open your profile from your avatar or profile name.
- 3.Select View my profile.
- 4.Look at the browser address bar.
- 5.If the address is https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198#########/, the 17-digit number after /profiles/ is your Steam ID.
Check Steam Mobile
Open the Steam Mobile app on your iPhone or Android phone.
Tap your profile icon or avatar.
Open Account Details.
Look under your account name near the top of the screen. Your SteamID appears there.
Use the profile editor method in a browser when you need the full number in another app.
Get It From Steam Account Data
Use this method when you want to stay inside Steam Support and view data tied to your signed-in account. Steam account-data pages include personal data associated with your account, including Steam ID data.
Go to help.steampowered.com and sign in.
Open My Account.
Choose Data Related to Your Steam Account or View Account Data.
Use the account-data pages to find the Steam ID information for the account you are currently signed into.
Use Your Steam Userdata Folder
On Windows, open C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata. The folder names inside userdata are unique Steam IDs for accounts that have signed in on that PC.
On macOS, open ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata. On Linux, open ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata.
This is easiest when only one Steam account has used the computer. When several folders appear, match the right one by recent activity or by game appID folders.
Limit What You Enter On Lookup Sites
The most common risk is entering more information than a lookup site needs.
Third-party SteamID lookup or converter sites can take a public Steam Community profile URL, custom URL slug, SteamID3, or SteamID64 and show the SteamID64 result.
These sites are not official Valve pages, and their availability and privacy handling vary by provider.
Use only public profile information on those sites. Do not enter your Steam credentials or Steam Web API keys.
Skip Older Steam ID Tricks
This fixes confusion from outdated Steam desktop instructions.
Skip guides that tell you to enable Display web address bars when available in Steam, Settings, Interface, then read your profile URL inside the desktop client.
That setting belongs to the older Steam desktop client UI and is not available in the current Steam desktop UI.
Use Edit Profile or a normal web browser instead.
Skip Steam Community XML profile lookups for finding your own Steam ID. Valve labels that XML profile data as deprecated and recommends Web APIs whenever possible.
