How to add a link in bio on TikTok
If your account qualifies, adding a link in bio on TikTok takes about 30 seconds:
- Open TikTok and tap Profile in the bottom-right corner.
- Tap Edit profile.
- Tap Website. On some versions it reads “Add your website”.
- Paste the full URL, for example
https://biolinko.me/yourname, and tap Save. - Go back to your profile. The link now shows under your bio with a small link icon, and viewers can tap it.
No Website field in Edit profile? Your account does not meet TikTok's requirement yet. Skip to the requirements and what to do before you qualify.
Your TikTok bio is only 80 characters, so use it to say what the link gives people: “Free workout plan ↓” works better than a list of emoji.
How to add Linktree (or any bio link page) to TikTok
TikTok treats a Linktree link like any other website, so you use the same Website field.
- Open your Linktree admin and copy your Linktree URL (it looks like
linktr.ee/yourname). - In TikTok, go to Profile → Edit profile → Website.
- Paste the URL and tap Save.
The same steps work for any link in bio page, whether it is Linktree, Beacons or Biolinko (biolinko.me/yourname). If TikTok refuses a link, open it in a normal browser to check it works, and paste the final address rather than a shortened redirect link.
Which link in bio page should you use on TikTok?
Any of them will work in the Website field. Pick based on what you want viewers to do next. Linktree is the best-known name. Biolinko can show your TikTok videos and profile inline, and adds free WhatsApp and UPI buttons that suit creators in India. Compare them in Linktree vs Beacons or see all Linktree alternatives.
TikTok link in bio requirements: how many followers do you need?
At the time of writing (September 2026), the TikTok link in bio requirements look like this:
- Personal accounts generally need 1,000 or more followers before the Website field appears.
- You must be 18 or older.
- Business accounts can usually add a website without the follower threshold.
TikTok changes these rules and sometimes tests features by country, so treat the numbers above as a guide, not a promise. The only reliable check is your own app: open Edit profile. If you see Website, you can add a link. If you do not, you are not eligible yet on that account type.
How to switch to a TikTok Business account to get a link
If you are a brand, a shop or a creator who sells something, a Business account is the quickest way to get the Website field.
- Go to your profile and tap the menu (three lines, top right).
- Tap Settings and privacy → Account.
- Tap Switch to Business account and follow the prompts to pick a category.
- Go back to Edit profile and look for Website.
Menu names move around between app versions, so if you cannot find it, search TikTok's help centre for “switch to business account”. Read what TikTok shows on the switch screen before you confirm, because Business accounts work a little differently from personal ones (for example in which sounds you can use). You can switch back from the same menu.
What to do before you qualify for a TikTok link
- Connect Instagram and YouTube. In Edit profile you can link your Instagram and YouTube accounts, which show as icons on your TikTok profile. Put your link in bio on those profiles, where anyone can add one. See how to add a link on Instagram.
- Say where the link actually is. “Link on my Instagram” is honest; “link in bio” with no link just annoys people.
- Type a short address in your bio text. It will not be clickable, but a short one like
biolinko.me/yournameis easy to type into a browser. - Keep posting. 1,000 followers comes faster than most people expect with a regular schedule.
Can you say “link in bio” on TikTok?
Yes. Saying “link in bio” in a video or caption is normal on TikTok, because links in captions and comments are not clickable. Just make sure there really is a link on your profile, and say what people get when they tap it.
Because you only get one Website field, most creators point it at a link in bio page. With Biolinko you can show TikTok videos inline, add your other socials, a shop, a WhatsApp chat button and an email signup on one page. The Free plan includes up to 30 blocks, all 8 themes and 30 days of click analytics, so you can see how many taps TikTok actually sends you. Read more on link in bio for TikTok.
If everything you do lives on one website, skip the extra page and paste that website into TikTok directly.
