Sharing your page
One link everywhere you post is the whole point. This page covers getting urls.bio/yourname into the places that matter, the share controls built into your page, and what other people see when your link lands in a feed or a message.
Your address
Your page lives at urls.bio/yourname, a single top-level address with nothing in front of it.
Handles are stored lowercase and looked up lowercase, so urls.bio/YourName and urls.bio/yourname reach the same page. Write it however reads best in your bio.
There is no trailing anything to remember, no query string to carry, and no separate short link to keep track of. The address is the whole product.
Copying it
Four places give you the link without typing it:
- The dashboard header. The button at the top right of My Page shows your address and opens the live page in a new tab.
- Cmd+K, then "Copy my page link". Works on any dashboard tab.
- The setup checklist. The "Share your page" row copies the link and ticks itself.
- The share button on the page itself. Covered next.
The share button on your page
Every public page carries a round share button in its top right corner, on desktop and on mobile.
It opens a sheet titled "Share this page", with "Copy the link, scan the code, or share directly." underneath and five things in it:
- A QR code. Generated in the browser at 512 pixels square, black on white. Point a phone at it and the page opens.
- The link itself, in a field that selects the whole address the moment you touch it, with a copy button beside it that turns to a green tick for a couple of seconds.
- Share. Hands the link to your device's own share sheet, titled "Your name on urls.bio", so it goes straight into a message, a story, or a note. On a browser with no share sheet, this copies instead.
- QR code. Downloads the code as a PNG called
yourname-urls-bio-qr.png, at the full 512 pixels rather than the size on screen. Big enough for a slide, a poster, or the back of a card. - Save contact. Builds a vCard on the spot and downloads it as
yourname.vcf, carrying your name, your page address, your bio, and your avatar. Whoever taps it gets you in their contacts with your page attached.
None of this needs an account, so anyone reading your page can use all of it. That includes you: the fastest way to get your own QR code is to open your page and tap share.
Putting the link in a bio
Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube all have a website or link field in their profile editor. Paste urls.bio/yourname into that field rather than into your bio text: the field is tappable everywhere, and bio text often is not. The https:// is optional; the address works with or without it, and reads better without.
The same address goes in an email signature, a newsletter footer, a podcast description, or the last slide of a talk. It is plain enough to read out loud, which is more than most links manage.
Use the same address in every one of those places. That is what lets the referrer panel in analytics tell you which platform is actually carrying your traffic, and it is the reason to have one link rather than five.
What people see when your link is shared
Paste your address into iMessage, Slack, X, or anywhere else that unfurls links, and urls.bio draws a preview card for it: 1200 by 630 pixels, painted in your own theme, with your avatar, your name, your bio, and urls.bio/yourname along the bottom. If your account is verified the badge is drawn there too.
The card is generated fresh from your page, so changing your avatar, your name, or your colors changes the card. It is the same on Free and on Pro, and the urls.bio badge setting does not affect it.
Two other things travel with the link:
- The title and description. By default, the title is your name followed by
| urls.bio, and the description is your bio, or "Check out Your Name's links on urls.bio" if you have not written one. On Pro you can set both yourself in Settings, under Page: Page title, up to 70 characters, and Search description, up to 200. See plans and billing. - The browser bar color. Your background color is handed to the browser as the theme color, so on a phone the chrome around your page picks it up.
Bear in mind that the platforms cache these cards on their side. A preview that looks out of date after you change your avatar is usually their copy, not yours, and it refreshes on their schedule rather than on request.
Search engines
Your page is indexable by default, and every active page is listed in the urls.bio sitemap. Each one declares its own canonical address and carries structured data describing you as a person: your name, your handle, your bio, and your avatar.
If your page is not showing up, the usual reason is time rather than configuration. Search engines get to new pages when they get to them.
Changing your handle
You can change your handle in Settings, in the URL field of the Profile card. It asks first, and it is worth reading what it asks:
Your page will move to urls.bio/newname. The old address, urls.bio/oldname, will stop working immediately, and anyone holding the old link will see a not-found page.
There is no redirect from the old address. Anything you have already put in a bio, printed on a card, or handed out as a QR code stops working the moment you confirm. If you change your handle, plan on updating every bio the same afternoon, and regenerating any QR code you have printed.
Common questions
Can I use my own domain? Not today. Your page lives at urls.bio/yourname.
Does the QR code stop working if I change my colors or my avatar? No. The code encodes your address and nothing else, so it keeps working as long as the address does.
Is the QR code themed to my page? No. It is black on white, which is what scanners are most reliable with.
Can I get the QR code as an SVG? The download is a PNG at 512 pixels square. That prints cleanly at a normal card or poster size.
Does urls.bio count how many people share my page? No. Shares are not tracked. What is tracked is the traffic that arrives afterwards, which is what the referrer panel in analytics reads.
