Real, Permanent
Profile IDs
Paste any public profile URL — we detect the platform and return the underlying numeric user ID, profile picture, and public stats. Works for Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X (Twitter), YouTube, TikTok, GitHub, and Telegram. No API key, public data only.
Three steps. No accounts. No tokens.
A single URL is all you need. We try multiple public sources and return the first reliable match.
Paste a profile URL
Full URL, bare handle, or t.me / x.com short form — we accept whatever you copy.
We try multiple strategies
Direct URL parse → public syndication / API endpoints → profile-page HTML scrape with multi-marker fallbacks.

Why a permanent ID matters.
The problem
The visible @username can be renamed, transferred between owners, or recycled. If you reference an account by its handle, your record breaks the moment the handle changes.
The solution
Every platform assigns each account a numeric ID at creation time. It is permanent, never reused, and is the only stable reference for an account across renames.
How IDInfo helps
Paste any public profile URL — we extract the underlying numeric ID using public sources only. Every lookup refreshes the profile in our database; records are kept permanently and never deleted. No sign-up. No API keys. No tracking.
Built for SEO & devs
Many ad platforms, analytics tools and integrations require the numeric ID of a user or channel. IDInfo gives you that ID plus the avatar, follower count, and bio in a single round trip — no signup, no API key, no setup.
What is IDInfo?
IDInfo (idinfo.ws) is a free ID lookup and account info tool for social media. Paste a Facebook profile URL, Instagram link, YouTube channel URL, TikTok profile, GitHub username, X (Twitter) handle, or Threads handle — we detect the platform and return the underlying numeric user ID (also called the social media identifier or social ID), the profile picture, followers count (when public), bio, and other public data. Ideal for developers, marketers, SEO professionals, and anyone who needs a stable reference to an account.
Lookup ID, ID Info & Account Info — one URL is all you need
Whether you call it lookup id, id lookup, id info, or just plain account info, IDInfo solves the same problem: turning a public URL into a permanent numeric ID. The visible @handle can be renamed, transferred, or recycled, but the numeric ID is assigned at account creation and never changes. Use the form at the top of this page, or jump straight to X (Twitter) ID finder, Facebook ID lookup, Instagram user ID, Threads ID, TikTok ID, YouTube channel ID, GitHub user ID, or Telegram ID (via our bot).

Paste your X profile URL (x.com/username) into IDInfo. We resolve the public numeric user ID using syndication data and HTML parsing — no Twitter developer account or API key is required.
Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), YouTube, TikTok, GitHub, and Telegram (via @idinfows_bot) are live. Threads ID lookup is coming soon. LinkedIn member URN lookup is on the roadmap.
GitHub uses the public REST API. Instagram uses the public web_profile_info endpoint with the standard web App-ID. Threads inherits Instagram IDs. TikTok parses the embedded __UNIVERSAL_DATA_FOR_REHYDRATION__ JSON. YouTube reads the canonical channel link. Facebook uses the Page Plugin embed. X (Twitter) tries syndication then HTML scraping. Telegram lookups run through our official bot — every path is unauthenticated for the visitor.
IDInfo is free for visitors. Pages include clear navigation, privacy and terms links, labelled ad placements, and original descriptive content to align with typical publisher and Google AdSense quality expectations.
We cache publicly visible fields (username, numeric ID when available, avatar URL, follower counts, bio) for profiles that are looked up. We do not sell personal data. See the Privacy Policy for details.
sitemap.xml is generated dynamically from saved profile pages. When a profile is updated, we ping search engines (throttled) so new URLs can be discovered faster.
Resolve your first ID in under a second.
No sign-up. No API key. Just paste a URL.
