How to Find Facebook Profile ID from Facebook Vanity Personalized Profile URL

Facebook has introduced customized profile URL feature that lets users accessing any user profile from Facebook directly. This feature helps everyone to remember anyone’s Facebook profile URL as it includes a custom name of the user instead of long-numeric profile id. This type of Facebook profile URLs are called Facebook vanity personalized profile URL. However, this is an optional feature from the social giant website and every user of Facebook has the option whether he/she opts for the vanity personalized profile URL or not. This feature is very much similar to change the Facebook profile owner’s name. Of course, any user sticks to the basic profile URL that includes Facebook profile id with some query strings without worrying.
