Dota 2 Steam Tool: The Steam ID to Dota ID Converter for your Friend ID

The Steam ID to Dota ID Converter Tool

The Steam ID to Dota ID Converter turns whatever you have into every ID you need: your Dota 2 Friend ID, SteamID64, Steam3 and Steam2 ID, plus direct links to your Steam profile and stats sites. Axe once typed his Steam ID by hand. It took three keyboards.

1. Paste anything. A Friend ID, a 17-digit SteamID64, [U:1:…], STEAM_0:…, a Steam profile link, a custom URL name or a Dotabuff, OpenDota or Stratz player link.
2. Read the Friend ID. It shows up big, with all other formats below and the math that connects them.
3. Copy what you need. Every row has a copy button. The page link keeps your ID, so you can bookmark it.

What is a Dota 2 Friend ID?

Every Steam account has one number behind it: the account ID. Dota 2 calls it your Friend ID, Steam calls it your Friend Code, and some tools call it Steam32 ID. It is always the same number.

The long SteamID64 that you see in profile links is just that number plus a fixed offset. That is why the converter can switch between them instantly, without asking anyone.

One account, four names. Like Axe. Mogul Khan, Axe, the red guy, “please stop”.

Steam ID formats explained

Here is one example account in every format. The converter shows the same list for your account.

A custom URL like steamcommunity.com/id/yourname is only a nickname for your profile. It can change, the numbers never do. Paste it anyway, the converter looks it up.

How to find your Dota 2 Friend ID

1. In Steam: your Friend Code

Open Steam, go to Friends → Add a Friend. The number shown as Your Friend Code is your Dota 2 Friend ID.

2. From your Steam profile link

Open your Steam profile, copy the address and paste it into the Steam ID to Dota ID Converter above. Works with /profiles/7656119… links and custom /id/… links.

3. From a stats site

On Dotabuff, OpenDota or Stratz, your profile address ends with your Friend ID, for example /players/123456789.

How to add a friend in Dota 2 with the Friend ID

Dota 2 uses your Steam friends list. To add someone, open Steam, go to Friends → Add a Friend, type their Friend Code (their Dota 2 Friend ID) and send the invite. Once they accept, they show up in Dota 2 and you can invite them to your party.

Friend IDs are the safe way to add someone: names can be copied, numbers can not. Axe added the wrong “Axe” four times. Now Axe uses numbers.

Your Friend ID on Dotabuff, OpenDota and Stratz

Stats sites use the Friend ID in their player links. The converter builds all three links for you. If your profile there looks empty, check that Expose Public Match Data is turned on in your Dota 2 settings. New matches can take a while to appear after you switch it on.

Not sure if yours is on? The Public Match Data Checker asks Valve with one click. Looking for one game? The Match ID Lookup finds it by its number.

Setting up Dota 2 on a new PC? The Launch Options Generator builds your start options.

Your ID stays, your name can change any time. Need a new one? Crank the Name Generator.
