1Repair Windows errors before they cause bigger problems2Fix the driver behind crashes, sound loss and screen glitches3Clear out junk files and repair common Windows errorsTo find your Steam Hex ID, first reveal your SteamID64 in your Steam Community Profile, then use a lookup service that specifically supports Steam Hex. In Steam, open your profile, select Edit Profile, and look beneath the Custom URL field. If that field contains a custom address, clear its text to reveal your numeric SteamID64. Steam’s instructions cover finding that 64-bit ID; Hex conversion is a separate step.
Find your SteamID64 in Steam
- Sign in to Steam and open your Steam Community Profile.
- Select Edit Profile.
- Look at the URL shown beneath the Custom URL box. If you have not set a custom URL, Steam displays your 64-bit ID there. Steam describes this as a commonly used 17-digit SteamID format and shows a pattern beginning with
76561198. - If a custom URL is already set, delete the text in the Custom URL box. The URL listed below it will then show your 64-bit ID.
- Copy the numeric ID or your profile URL for the next step.
Convert the ID to Steam Hex
SteamID64 and Steam Hex are different representations of your account identifier. Steam Support explains how to find the 64-bit ID, but does not provide a Hex conversion step. If the server, whitelist, or other destination specifically requests Steam Hex, enter your profile URL or known ID into a lookup service that explicitly supports that format, such as Steam-ID.com. Check the result against the format requested by the destination before submitting it.
Use the identifier format the destination requests
Steam IDs can be shown in several formats, including SteamID, SteamID3, SteamID64, a custom URL, and a full profile URL. Lookup tools may accept multiple input types, but that does not mean every destination accepts them interchangeably. A vanity URL is not itself a Steam Hex ID. Check the field label or instructions and provide the requested representation.
Lookup behavior can vary by service. STEAMID I/O notes that regular names may return limited results, custom URLs take precedence, and trade URLs will not work as inputs. If a lookup does not recognize what you entered, try your profile URL or numeric SteamID64 instead.

A profile URL or SteamID is an identifier, not your Steam password. The cited lookup pages describe entering identifiers or profile URLs; they do not require account credentials for that lookup. Do not enter your Steam password into an unrelated conversion form.
