  • You're not going to have an easy time modifying the url on a standard page if that is what you are after. – Adrian Larson♦ Dec 24 '15 at 18:41

If you just need a one-off conversion, you can use a tool like this

https://www.adminbooster.com/tool/15to18

If you want it in real time and shown and/or accessible on the record itself, you can use the CASESAFEID() function within a formula field

You would want to create a formula field on the Account object of type Text, then the formula is just 

CASESAFEID(Id)

Then you can see below how it gives you the 18 digit id rather than the 15 digit in the url.

  • and if you need it in the code (String) Id.valueOf(inputId); – user682217 Feb 14 '16 at 10:35
