Method 2 of 2: Using a Website

1. 
   1
   Visit the Steam profile of the account you want to find the ID for. You can find the Steam ID of any account, including your own, using a variety of different sites. In order to use these sites, you'll need the URL for the user's Steam profile. The quickest way to find someone's profile is by using Steam itself:
   

   • Click the View menu in Steam and select "Settings."
   • Select the Interface tab and then check "Display Steam URL address bar when available." This will allow you to see the web address for any page you visit in Steam, including profile pages.
   • Find the profile you want to check the ID for. This can be your own profile, your friend's, or anyone else you come across on Steam. If you want to search for someone, click the Community tab and use the "Find People" box.

   Copy the profile URL from the address bar. While on the user's profile screen, you should see the URl in the address bar if you enabled it. Highlight the entire address and press Ctrl+C or right-click it and select "Copy."
   

   • The address format will be http://steamcommunity.com/id/name.

   Visit a Steam ID tracker site. There are a variety of sites that will look up the Steam ID and other public account information for the profile you enter. These sites cannot hack a profile or steal information based on entering the public profile address. Below are some of the most popular sites:
   

   • steamrep.com
   • steamparser.com
   • steamid.co
   • steamid.io
   • steamidfinder.com

   Paste the profile URL into the box. All of the sites listed above will have a prominent field for you to enter the profile URL. Paste the copied profile address into this field. Make sure the profile URL is formatted exactly as displayed above.

   Find the Steam ID. After searching for the address, the user's Steam information will be displayed. You'll see several Steam IDs listed. Valve has implemented several versions of Steam IDs over the years, and all accounts will have several different ones. They all lead to the same place (the user's profile), and cannot be changed by either you or Valve support:^[2]
