Find Facebook ID

The Easiest Way to Find a Facebook User ID

Stop digging through source code. While Facebook often displays vanity URLs (e.g., facebook.com/username), many apps, advertising tools, and plugins require the numeric Facebook ID to function. This tool extracts that ID instantly or provides the fastest method to locate it if hidden.

Why You Need Your Numeric ID

Facebook assigns a unique string of numbers to every entity on its platform. You need this ID to:

• Configure Social Plugins (Like boxes, embedded comments).
• Target specific audiences in Facebook Ads.
• Integrate with the Facebook Graph API.
• Recover lost account access in specific support scenarios.

How to Use This Tool

1. Paste URL: Enter the full link (e.g., https://www.facebook.com/yourpage).
2. Find ID: Click the button. If the ID is in the URL, it appears instantly.
3. Manual Lookup: For vanity URLs, follow our built-in guide to locate the entity_id in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Facebook ID?

A Facebook ID is a unique numerical string identifying a specific profile, page, or group within Facebook's database. Unlike a username, which can change, the numeric ID remains permanent and is required for API integrations and third-party tools.

How do I find my Facebook ID number?

Paste your profile link into the box above. If you use a custom URL, the tool will provide exact steps to find the ID by viewing the page source and locating the "entity_id" parameter.

Is it safe to share your Facebook ID?

Yes. Your numeric ID is public information used by browsers and apps to load your profile. Sharing it does not grant access to passwords, private messages, or sensitive account data.

Why would I need a Facebook user ID?

Numeric IDs are strictly required for technical tasks, such as setting up "Like" buttons on websites, excluding specific people from Ad campaigns, or developing apps that interact with the Facebook platform.

Can I find a Facebook ID from a username?

Yes. If the username is part of the URL (e.g., facebook.com/username), you can paste the full link here. Due to privacy settings, you may need to perform a quick manual check using our provided instructions to verify the exact ID associated with that username.
