The fastest way to add a link to your TikTok bio

Open TikTok and tap the profile icon at the bottom right. Tap "Edit profile" and look for the field labeled "Website" — this is where your link goes. Paste or type the full URL (starting with https://), then tap "Save" at the top right. The link will appear on your profile page as a clickable button below your username and bio text.

TikTok displays the link as a button labeled "Website" or sometimes shows the domain name instead. When someone visits your profile, they can tap this button to open the URL in their phone's browser. The link appears on both your profile page and in your profile card when other users search for you.

You can change or remove the link anytime by going back to "Edit profile," clearing the Website field, and saving again. There is no limit to how many times you can update it.

Key Takeaways

  • The Website field in your profile settings is the only official way to add a clickable link to your TikTok bio.
  • You must use the full URL including https:// for the link to work properly.
  • The link appears as a button on your profile page and in your profile card when others search for you.
  • You can update or remove the link at any time without affecting your account or videos.
  • TikTok does not support multiple links in the bio, but you can use a link-in-bio tool to redirect to a page with many links.

What URL formats TikTok accepts

TikTok accepts any standard web address: your website homepage, a specific product page, a YouTube channel, a Linktree or Beacons page, or a landing page you create yourself. The URL must start with http:// or https://. If you paste a link without the protocol, TikTok will usually add https:// automatically, but it is safer to include it yourself.

Short links (from services like bit.ly or TinyURL) work fine and are useful if your actual URL is very long. Social media handles alone — like @username or just a domain name without the protocol — will not work as clickable links.

Using a link-in-bio tool to share multiple links

If you need to direct followers to more than one place — your shop, your YouTube, your Discord, your email signup — use a link-in-bio service. These tools let you create a single landing page with multiple clickable buttons, and you paste that landing page URL into your TikTok bio. Popular options include Linktree, Beacons, Stan Store, and Carrd.

The process is the same: create your account on the service, add your links and customize the page, copy the URL they give you, and paste it into the Website field on your TikTok profile. When followers click the Website button, they land on your custom page and can choose which link to follow.

Some of these services are free with basic features, while others charge a monthly fee for more customization or analytics. Choose based on how many links you need and whether you want to track how many people click each one.

Troubleshooting a link that will not save or work

If your link will not save, make sure you are using the correct format: the full URL starting with http:// or https://. Links that are just text (like "visit my website") or that use special characters TikTok does not recognize will be rejected. Try copying and pasting the URL directly from your browser's address bar instead of typing it.

If the link saves but does not work when you tap it, the URL itself may be broken or the website may be down. Test the link by opening it in your phone's browser outside of TikTok to confirm it works. If it does work elsewhere but not in TikTok, try removing the link, waiting a few minutes, and adding it again — sometimes TikTok needs time to refresh.

If you are on an older version of the TikTok app, update it from your phone's app store. Older versions sometimes have bugs with the profile editor. You can also try logging out, closing the app completely, and logging back in.

How the link appears to your followers

On your profile page, the link shows as a button below your username, follower count, and bio text. The button usually says "Website" in white text on a colored background, though sometimes TikTok displays the domain name instead (for example, "youtube.com" instead of "Website"). Tapping the button opens the URL in the phone's default browser.

When someone searches for your account or views your profile card (the small preview that appears when someone hovers over your username in comments or messages), the Website button is visible there too. This makes it easy for people to find your link without having to visit your full profile.

What happens if you change or remove your link

Changing your link does not affect your videos, followers, or account history. Any videos you posted before adding the link will still be there, and the link change will not trigger any notifications to your followers. You can swap the link as often as you want — for example, pointing to a new product launch, a seasonal promotion, or a different social media platform.

If you remove the link entirely by clearing the Website field and saving, the button disappears from your profile immediately. Followers who bookmarked your profile or saved your link will find a broken link if they try to use it, so give people a heads-up if you are removing a link they may have been using.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add multiple links to my TikTok bio?

TikTok's bio only supports one link in the Website field. To share multiple links, use a link-in-bio service like Linktree or Beacons that creates a single landing page with many buttons, then paste that page's URL into your TikTok bio.

Does the link have to be my own website?

No. You can link to any website: your YouTube channel, your online shop, a Discord server, a Google Form, a Patreon page, or anything else with a working URL. The link just needs to start with http:// or https://.

Will my followers get notified if I change the link?

No. Changing your link does not send any notifications to your followers. They will only see the new link the next time they visit your profile.

What if my link is very long and looks ugly?

Use a URL shortener like bit.ly, TinyURL, or your link-in-bio service's built-in shortener to create a shorter version. The shortened link works the same way but takes up less space and looks cleaner.

Can I use special characters or spaces in my link?

No. Web addresses do not support spaces or most special characters. If your URL contains spaces or symbols, use a URL shortener to create a cleaner version, or use a link-in-bio tool that handles the formatting for you.
