How do I convert Steam Hex ID to SteamID32?

Paste your Steam Hex ID into the converter above and the SteamID32 appears instantly. Worked through by hand: Read the hexadecimal value as a decimal number, then subtract the base. Y is the account ID modulo 2; Z is the account ID divided by 2, rounded down. For example, 0x1100001031AAD4E becomes STEAM_0:0:26039975.

How the conversion works

Both formats describe the same underlying account, so the conversion is arithmetic rather than a lookup. Every Steam identifier is built from one 32-bit account number, and the route from Steam Hex ID to SteamID32 goes through it:

Start with the Steam Hex ID. Read the hexadecimal value as a decimal number, then subtract the base. For 0x1100001031AAD4E that gives an account ID of 52079950.
Build the SteamID32. Y is the account ID modulo 2; Z is the account ID divided by 2, rounded down. That produces STEAM_0:0:26039975.

Worked example

Step	Value
Steam Hex ID in	`0x1100001031AAD4E`
Account ID	`52079950`
SteamID64 equivalent	`76561198012345678`
SteamID32 out	`STEAM_0:0:26039975`

What a Steam Hex ID is

The SteamID64 written in base 16 rather than base 10. It carries exactly the same information — only the notation differs.

You mostly meet this one in log files, database dumps and a handful of older item and trading tools that stored IDs in hex. It is rarely what a service asks you for, and is usually something you need to convert away from.

What a SteamID32 is

The original textual format, written STEAM_X:Y:Z. X is the universe (almost always 0 or 1 for public Steam), Y is the lowest bit of the account ID, and Z is the account ID shifted right by one. Splitting the number this way is a quirk of the original implementation, not something meaningful.

Source engine servers and their tooling still live in this format. SourceMod's admins.cfg expects entries like "STEAM_0:1:12345678", most older ban plugins store it, and the SourceBans web panel has historically rejected newer formats outright. If you administer a Counter-Strike, Team Fortress or Garry's Mod server, this is the one you end up needing.

Converting more than one ID

This page handles a single ID at a time. To convert a whole list at once — a ban file, an admin config, a spreadsheet column — use the bulk converter, which accepts mixed formats and custom profile URLs in the same paste.
