How to Add Link to TikTok Bio (2026 Guide)

Quick Answer: Go to Profile → Edit Profile → Website → Paste your URL → Save. Requirements: You need either a Business account OR 1,000+ followers on a personal account to add a clickable link.

Requirements to Add a Link to TikTok Bio

Before you can add a clickable link, you must meet one of these requirements:

Option 1: Have a Business Account

Switch to a Business account (free)
Get clickable link access immediately
No follower requirement

Option 2: Have 1,000+ Followers

Keep your personal/creator account
Reach 1,000 followers
Link option unlocks automatically

If you don't meet either requirement, you can still add a link as plain text in your bio - but it won't be clickable. Users would need to copy and paste it manually.

How to Add a Link to TikTok Bio

Once you meet the requirements, adding a link takes less than a minute.

Step 1: Open the TikTok app

Step 2: Go to your Profile (tap the icon in the bottom right)

For finding drafts, see where to find TikTok drafts

Step 3: Tap "Edit Profile"

Step 4: Find the "Website" field

Scroll down to the Links section
Tap "Add your website" or the Website field

Step 5: Paste your URL

Enter the full URL including https://
Example: https://yourwebsite.com

Step 6: Tap "Save"

Done! Your link now appears below your bio and is clickable for all visitors.

How to Switch to a TikTok Business Account

If you have fewer than 1,000 followers, switching to a Business account is the fastest way to get a clickable link.

Step 1: Open TikTok and go to your Profile

Step 2: Tap the three lines (☰) in the top right corner

Step 3: Tap "Settings and privacy"

Step 4: Tap "Account"

Step 5: Tap "Switch to Business Account"

Step 6: Choose a category that describes your account

Options include: Fashion, Food, Education, Entertainment, etc.

Step 7: Tap "Next" to confirm

Done! Your account is now a Business account. Go to Edit Profile to add your link.

Business Account Trade-offs

Pros:

Clickable bio link (no follower requirement)
Access to analytics and insights
Professional tools and features
Contact button options

Cons:

Limited access to some trending sounds
Can't use certain copyrighted music
May affect content reach (algorithm treats business accounts differently)

Tip: If music and trending sounds are critical to your content strategy, consider growing to 1,000 followers on a personal account instead. For account management, see how to change TikTok account region.

Why Can't I Add a Link to My TikTok Bio?

Common reasons:

1. Personal account with under 1,000 followers

Solution: Switch to a Business account OR grow your following

2. Trying to add link from desktop

The bio link feature only works in the TikTok mobile app
You cannot add clickable links from a computer

3. App needs updating

Update TikTok to the latest version in your app store

4. Feature not available in your region

TikTok rolls out features gradually by country
Some regions may not have access yet

5. Link added before meeting requirements

If you added a link before reaching 1,000 followers, it may not be clickable
Try removing and re-adding the link

6. Account glitch

Log out and log back in
Clear app cache
Reinstall the app if needed

Alternative: Add Link as Plain Text

If you can't add a clickable link yet, you can still include a URL in your bio description.

How to do it:

Step 1: Go to Profile → Edit Profile

Step 2: In the "Bio" text field, type your URL

Step 3: Save changes

Result: The link appears in your bio but isn't clickable. Users must copy and paste it manually.

Tips for plain text links:

Keep the URL short and simple
Use a custom short link (like bit.ly/yourname)
Make it easy to remember and type
Example: yoursite.com/tiktok

Link-in-Bio Tools (For Multiple Links)

TikTok only allows one clickable link. To share multiple destinations, use a link-in-bio tool.

How it works:

Create a landing page with multiple links
Add that single landing page URL to your TikTok bio
Visitors click one link and see all your destinations

Popular link-in-bio tools:

Linktree
Stan Store
Beacons
Later's Linkin.bio
Shorby
Carrd

What to include on your landing page:

Website/online store
Other social media profiles
Latest content (YouTube, blog, podcast)
Products or services
Newsletter signup
Affiliate links
Contact information

Adding Links to TikTok Stories

If you have 10,000+ followers, you can add clickable links directly to your TikTok Stories.

How to add links to Stories:

Create a TikTok Story
Tap the link icon
Add your URL
Post your Story

Note: This feature is only available to accounts with 10,000 or more followers. For accounts under 10,000 followers, the bio link is the only option for clickable links.

Connecting Social Media Accounts

You can link your Instagram and YouTube accounts to your TikTok profile without meeting follower requirements.

How to connect:

Step 1: Go to Profile → Edit Profile

Step 2: Scroll to "Social" section

Step 3: Tap "Add Instagram" or "Add YouTube"

Step 4: Log in to verify your account

Step 5: Save changes

Result: Instagram and YouTube icons appear on your profile. Users can tap them to visit your other accounts.

Tips for Optimizing Your Bio Link

Best practices:

✓ Use a short, clean URL - Avoid long, messy links. Use a branded short link if possible.

✓ Make it mobile-friendly - TikTok users are on mobile. Ensure your linked page loads fast and looks good on phones.

✓ Use a clear call-to-action - Tell viewers what to do: "Link in bio for the full tutorial" or "Shop the look - link in bio"

✓ Update regularly - Change your link based on current campaigns, new products, or timely content.

✓ Track your clicks - Use UTM parameters or link shorteners with analytics to see how many people click.

✓ Send to a landing page - Don't just link to your homepage. Send traffic to a specific page that matches your content.

✓ Mention it in videos - Remind viewers: "Check the link in my bio" to drive traffic.

Common Questions

Can I add a link without 1,000 followers? Yes, if you switch to a Business account. Business accounts can add a clickable link regardless of follower count. Alternatively, you can add a non-clickable link as plain text in your bio description.

Can I add multiple links to my TikTok bio? No. TikTok only allows one clickable link in the Website field. To share multiple links, use a link-in-bio tool that creates a landing page with all your links.

Why is my link not clickable? Your account may not meet the requirements (Business account or 1,000+ followers). Also, make sure you added the link in the "Website" field, not just the bio text. Links in the bio text appear as plain text only.

Can I add a link from my computer? No. The bio link feature only works in the TikTok mobile app. You must use your phone to add or edit your clickable link.

Does switching to a Business account affect my reach? Possibly. Some creators report that Business accounts have less access to trending sounds and may see different algorithm treatment. Test and see what works best for your content.

Can I change my link anytime? Yes. You can update your bio link as often as you want. Go to Edit Profile → Website → Change the URL → Save.

How do I track clicks on my bio link? TikTok doesn't provide detailed bio link analytics. Use a link shortener (like Bitly) or add UTM parameters to track clicks in Google Analytics.

What happens if I switch back to a personal account? If you switch from Business to Personal and have fewer than 1,000 followers, you'll lose access to the clickable link feature.

Can I link to any website? Yes, as long as it doesn't violate TikTok's community guidelines. You can link to websites, stores, social profiles, or any valid URL.

Why does my link show as text, not clickable? You may have added the link to the wrong field (Bio text instead of Website field), or your account doesn't meet the requirements. Check that you're using the dedicated Website field and meet either the Business account or 1,000 follower threshold.

The Bottom Line

Adding a link to your TikTok bio:

Requirements (need ONE):

Business account (any follower count)
Personal account with 1,000+ followers

Steps:

Open TikTok app (mobile only)
Go to Profile → Edit Profile
Tap "Website" or "Add your website"
Paste your URL
Save

Key points:

Only one clickable link allowed
Must use mobile app (not desktop)
Use link-in-bio tools for multiple links
10,000+ followers can add links to Stories
Plain text links work as a workaround (not clickable)

Pro tip: Don't waste your one link on a basic homepage. Send traffic to a dedicated landing page, product page, or link-in-bio tool that gives visitors clear next steps.
