Find Facebook ID

Our Facebook ID Finder tool is a simple, web-based application designed to help you quickly retrieve the unique numerical ID associated with any Facebook profile or page. Often, these IDs aren't readily visible on the Facebook interface itself, especially with the prevalence of custom usernames. This tool solves that problem by providing a straightforward way to uncover the underlying ID. Simply paste the URL of the Facebook profile or page into the tool, click a button, and the ID is instantly displayed. This eliminates the need to dig through page source code or rely on potentially outdated methods.

What is a Facebook ID?

A Facebook ID is a unique sequence of numbers assigned to every profile, page, group, and even event created on Facebook. It's a permanent identifier, unlike usernames which can be changed. Think of it as the social security number for a Facebook entity. While usernames are used for creating user-friendly, personalized URLs (e.g., facebook.com/lokeshkapooor), the numerical ID remains the constant, core identifier that Facebook uses internally for managing data and relationships.

Here are some uses of a Facebook ID:

• Application Development: Developers working with the Facebook API often require numerical IDs to interact with specific profiles or pages.
• Third-Party Integrations: Many social media management tools and analytics platforms use Facebook IDs to track and manage interactions with Facebook content.
• Targeted Advertising: While advertisers primarily use audience targeting tools within Facebook Ads Manager, numerical IDs can sometimes be used for advanced custom audience creation.
• Troubleshooting: In some cases, providing a Facebook ID to Facebook support can help them identify and resolve issues related to your account or page.
• Data Analysis: Researchers and analysts may use Facebook IDs to collect and analyze public data from Facebook for various studies.
