How To Find Steam HEX ID

If you are a part of the gaming community, particularly in modding or trading circles, then the term Steam HEX ID may not be new to you. Whether you're configuring a FiveM server, setting up admin permissions, or using skin trading platforms, finding your Steam HEX ID is often the first step

You may have heard of a HEX ID but are unsure where to find one. In this guide, we will explain the Steam HEX ID, why you need it, and the fastest ways to retrieve it.

What Is a Steam HEX ID?

The Steam HEX ID is a hexadecimal representation of your Steam ID. While most users are familiar with their Steam64 ID (a long numerical identifier), some gaming platforms and modding tools use the HEX format instead, especially for games like GTA V via FiveM.

The HEX ID is your Steam ID 64 converted into hexadecimal, a base-16 number system. For example:

• Steam64 ID: 76561198012345678
• HEX ID: steam:110000103abcdef

This HEX format is particularly common in:

• FiveM server whitelists and permissions
• Modded multiplayer games
• Trade tracking systems

Why Do You Need Your HEX ID?

These are the main reasons for gamers and developers to be able to get the Steam HEX ID:

• Server access – Most servers use HEX IDs to add, remove, or restrict access.
• Moderator/admin permissions – Usually, server owners sign or grant admin/moderator permissions via a whitelist with the help of HEX IDs.
• Custom game settings – HEX ID is closely related to the settings in the custom game of the config file.
• Steam trade verification – The comparable accounts are linked from the HEX on the corresponding platforms.

Method 2: Manual Way

If you like to do everything manually or you just want to know how it works, here's how to convert your Steam ID to HEX format manually.

Step 1: Find Your Steam64 ID

• Visit your Steam profile.
• Right-click on any page part and select "Copy Page URL".
• If you use a custom URL, you can use SteamID.io to get your Steam64 ID.

Step 2: Convert Steam64 ID to HEX

You’ll need to convert that numeric Steam ID (e.g., 76561198012345678) into hexadecimal. You can use any decimal-to-hex converter online like:

• RapidTables
• UnitConversion.org

Paste the Steam64 ID, click "Convert," and you'll get something like:

110000103abcdef

Now prepend it with steam: to form your final HEX ID:

steam:110000103abcdef

HEX ID vs. Steam64 vs. Custom URLs – What’s the Difference?

The HEX ID and the Steam64 ID represent the same, the only difference is that they are called and formatted differently. The HEX ID is merely the hexadecimal version of the Steam64 ID, typically used in systems that operate with keys that have to be unique and fit in some specific character lengths or formats.

Tips and Warnings

• Do not expose your HEX ID publicly if it’s being utilized for critical server permissions.
• Always ensure that you are putting your profile URL in a reputable tool like Tradeit, instead of doing so on some suspicious site you know nothing about.
• If your HEX ID does not start with steam:1100001, go through the ID again, since there are numerous false conversion tools.
