Get any Facebook ID with our FB ID Finder

Every profile, page, and group on Facebook has a unique numeric ID, separate from its username. While you typically see vanity URLs like facebook.com/username, many applications, marketing tools, and website plugins require this specific number to function correctly. Our Find Facebook ID tool simplifies the process of getting this crucial piece of information. Instead of digging through source code, you can paste a URL and get instructions on how to locate the ID instantly.

How to Use the Facebook ID Finder

1. Paste the URL: Copy the full URL of the Facebook profile, page, or group you want the ID for and paste it into the input box.
2. Click "Find Facebook ID": The tool will provide you with the most reliable manual method for finding the ID.
3. Follow the Instructions: Go to the profile page, view its source code (right-click > View Page Source), and search for "entity_id". The number that follows is the ID you need.

Why Do You Need a Facebook ID?

Facebook IDs are essential for developers and marketers. They are used to configure social plugins like comment boxes, like buttons, and embedded posts. They are also required by many third-party marketing and analytics tools to accurately track campaigns or manage audiences. Our tool provides a straightforward path to obtaining these IDs when they aren't immediately obvious.

Frequently Asked Questions About Finding a Facebook ID

What is a Facebook ID?

A Facebook ID is a unique number assigned to every profile, page, group, and piece of content on Facebook. While you usually see usernames in URLs (e.g., facebook.com/zuck), this unique numeric ID is used internally by Facebook and by many third-party applications to identify the entity precisely.

How do I find my Facebook ID number?

The easiest way is to use an online tool like this one by pasting your profile URL. Alternatively, you can view the source code of your profile page (right-click -> 'View Page Source') and search for the term 'entity_id'. The number associated with it is your Facebook user ID.

Is it safe to share your Facebook ID?

Yes, it is generally safe to share your public Facebook ID. It doesn't reveal any private information that isn't already visible on your profile. Apps and websites use this ID to connect with your public profile for features like social logins or comments, but it does not grant them access to your private data or password.

Why would I need a Facebook user ID?

You might need a Facebook user ID for several reasons: configuring social plugins on a website (like comment boxes or like buttons), setting up social media marketing tools, managing Facebook Ads audiences, or for app development when integrating with Facebook's API.

Can I find a Facebook ID from a username?

Yes. A username is part of the profile URL (e.g., facebook.com/username). You can paste this full URL into our finder tool, and it will attempt to resolve it to the corresponding numeric ID.
