How to Get a TikTok Link

Finding and sharing your TikTok link sounds like it should be one of the easiest things to do, but it can be surprisingly confusing depending on what you’re trying to share. Whether you need your main profile URL, a link to a specific viral video, or even a trending sound, knowing exactly where to look saves a ton of time. This guide breaks down how to get any TikTok link you need, step by step, for all the most common situations.

Why You Need Your TikTok Profile URL

Your main profile link is your digital address on TikTok. It’s what you share in your Instagram bio, add to your email signature, or send to potential collaborators. Think of it as the front door to your entire TikTok world. When people click it, they see everything: your profile picture, bio, pinned videos, and entire content library. It's the most common and important link you'll need, especially for growing your brand because it invites people to follow you, not just view a single piece of content.

Here are just a few places you’ll use it:

• Your “link in bio” on Instagram, Threads, and X (formerly Twitter)
• Your email signature
• Portfolios or media kits
• Business cards or promotional materials
• Sharing with brands for partnership opportunities

How to Get Your TikTok Profile Link (The Easy Way)

Thankfully, TikTok makes finding your main profile link simple whether you're on your phone or on a computer.

On Your Mobile Device

Most of your TikTok activity happens on your phone, so let's start there. There are two quick paths to find your link.

Method 1: The "Edit Profile" Route

1. Open the TikTok app and tap the Profile icon in the bottom-right corner.
2. On your profile page, tap the "Edit Profile" button located just below your follower count.
3. Near the bottom of this screen, you’ll see your TikTok profile link listed next to the username section (e.g., tiktok.com/@yourusername). To the right of it, you'll see a small copy icon.
4. Tap the icon, and the link will be instantly copied to your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere you need it.

This is generally the fastest and most direct way to grab your link.

Method 2: The "Share Profile" Route

1. Go to your Profile page in the TikTok app.
2. Tap the three horizontal lines (the hamburger menu) in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. A menu will pop up from the bottom. Select "Settings and privacy."
4. Near the top of the "Settings and privacy" menu, tap on "Share profile."
5. This will open a sharing menu where you have several options, including a prominent "Copy link" button. Tap it, and you’re all set.

On a Desktop Browser

If you're working from your laptop or PC, getting your link is even simpler. It requires no navigating through menus.

1. Open your web browser and go to TikTok.com. Log in to your account if you aren't already.
2. In the top-right corner, click on your profile picture, then select "View Profile" from the dropdown menu.
3. Once your profile page loads, just look up at your browser's address bar. The URL displayed there is your permanent profile link.
4. Click on the address bar to highlight the URL, then copy it (you can either right-click and select "Copy" or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C on Windows or Cmd+C on a Mac).

Pro Tip: The best URLs are clean and reflect your brand. If your current TikTok username is something like "@user987654321," consider changing it in your "Edit Profile" settings to your name or business name. This makes your shared link look more professional and trustworthy.

Sharing a Single TikTok Video? Here’s How.

Sometimes you don't want to send people to your entire profile, you want them to see one specific, amazing video. You might be sharing your newest creation on Instagram Stories, emailing a campaign video to a client, or referencing someone else's amazing content. Grabbing a video-specific link ensures people land exactly where you want them to. Just like with your profile, the process is slightly different depending on your device.

From Your Mobile Device

1. Open the TikTok app and find the video you want to share. This can be one of your own videos from your profile or a video from your "For You" or "Following" page.
2. On the right side of the video, you’ll see a stack of icons (for liking, commenting, etc.). Tap the Share icon, which usually looks like a white arrow pointing right.
3. A sharing menu will appear with multiple options for different apps. In the top row of icons, look for the "Copy link" option. It’s typically a gray icon with a chain link symbol.
4. Tap "Copy link," and you’ll see a quick confirmation that says "Copied." The link is now ready to be pasted.

From a Desktop Browser

Sharing from your desktop is just as straightforward.

1. Navigate to the specific TikTok video you want to share on TikTok.com.
2. Look to the right of the video, just below the creator's username. You’ll see a share symbol with text right next to it that says "Copy link."
3. Click that button. The text will briefly change to "Copied!" and the link to that video is now on your clipboard. Simple.
4. Alternatively, you can always just copy the full URL from your browser's address bar. It serves the same purpose.

Going Deeper: How to Link Sounds, Effects, and Hashtags

Marketing and content professionals often need to share more than just profiles and videos. You might be putting together a trend report for your team, telling a creator which specific audio to use for sponsored content, or saving a hashtag for a future campaign.

Getting a Link to a TikTok Sound

Want to direct someone to the official page for a trending audio? It’s just a few taps.

1. Find any video that's using the sound you want to share.
2. At the bottom of the screen, tap the spinning record icon with the scrolling music note text.
3. This will take you to the official sound page, where you can see all the popular videos using that audio.
4. At the very top of the screen on the right, tap the familiar Share arrow icon.
5. From the share menu that pops up, hit "Copy link."

Getting a Link to a Hashtag

The process for sharing a hashtag page is almost identical to sharing a sound page.

1. Find a video using the hashtag you want. Tap on the hashtag within the video's caption.
2. This will take you to the hashtag landing page, which features top videos under that tag.
3. Look for the Share arrow icon in the top-right corner of the page.
4. Tap it, and then select "Copy link" from the menu.

Best Practices for Using Your TikTok Links

Getting the link is half the battle, the other half is using it well.

The "Link in Bio" is Your Anchor

The most powerful use of your main profile link is putting it in your bio on your other social platforms. This creates a bridge for your followers, allowing them to move from one platform to another and discover all your content. Don't hide it, make it the center of your cross-promotional strategy.

Use Clean Links When You Can

When sharing with a person or in a professional context, it’s always best to use the full, clean URL (e.g., tiktok.com/@yourusername). URL shorteners are fine for text messages or limited-character environments, but the original link shows transparency and looks more trustworthy.

Context is Your Friend

When you share a video link, add a sentence or two explaining why you're sharing it. On Instagram Stories, add a quick text overlay like "Check out my new TikTok!" This little bit of context dramatically increases the chances someone will actually click.

Final Thoughts

Getting a link for your TikTok profile, a specific video, a sound, or a hashtag is a direct process once you know where to tap. Master these few steps, and you'll always be ready to share your content, collaborate with others, and effectively grow your presence across all of your online platforms.

Keeping track of all these video links and your posting schedule across different platforms can quickly become a big job. We built Postbase to solve this by creating a simple, visual calendar where you can plan and schedule everything in one spot. When you grab a link for a new video, you can just drop it into your Postbase calendar to automatically share it on Instagram Stories, Threads, and X at the perfect time, saving you from bouncing between apps all day.
