What is a Facebook ID?
A Facebook ID is a unique numeric identifier assigned to various entities on Facebook, including users, pages, posts, photos, and videos. These IDs are used internally by Facebook's systems to reference specific content.
Step-by-Step Guide

- Paste URLs: Copy and paste all the URLs into the text area above, with each URL on a separate line.
- Extract IDs: Click the "Extract Facebook IDs" button to process all the URLs. The tool will automatically identify and extract the ID from each valid Facebook URL.
- Review Results: Check the results table to see the extracted IDs alongside their corresponding URLs.
- Copy or Download Data: Use the "Copy Facebook IDs" button to copy all extracted IDs to your clipboard, or the "Download to Excel" button to export your results for further analysis.
