FAQ
What is a SteamID?
A SteamID is a unique identifier used to represent a user account on Steam, a digital distribution platform developed by Valve Corporation. Steam is widely used for distribution, online multiplayer gaming, and digital rights management. Here are the components of a SteamID:
- SteamID Format: A SteamID can be represented in several formats, but the most common one is STEAM_0:X:YYYYY. Here, X can be 0 or 1, indicating whether the account number is even or odd, and YYYYY is a unique number assigned to the account.
- SteamID3: This is a more compact representation, often shown as [U:1:ZZZZZZ] where ZZZZZZ is a number derived from the original SteamID.
- SteamID64: This is a 64-bit representation of the SteamID and is used more commonly in web APIs. It’s a unique number that directly corresponds to a user’s account and can be used to link to their profile page directly.
What is a Steam Hex?
A "Steam Hex" or hexadecimal SteamID is another format for representing a Steam user's unique identifier. It's derived from the 64-bit SteamID (SteamID64). It is commonly used in specific gaming communities and server administration, especially in games like "Garry's Mod" and "FiveM" (a multiplayer modification framework for Grand Theft Auto V).
Converting SteamID64 to hexadecimal format is straightforward and can be done using any standard programming tool or online converters (for example, the best one). This makes the Steam Hex ID a versatile tool for community management and game server administration.
What is a Steam community ID?
A Steamcommunity ID is the customizable part of a user's Steam profile URL. For example, in a Steam profile URL like http://steamcommunity.com/id/customname, the "custom name" is the Steamcommunity ID. This allows users to personalize their Steam profile URLs instead of using a numeric SteamID.
