How to Get a TikTok URL

Finding your TikTok URL seems easy enough until you actually need it and can't immediately spot the link. This quick guide will show you exactly how to get any TikTok URL you need - for your own profile, a specific video, or even a trending sound - using your phone or a computer. We’ll also walk through how you can customize your profile URL to build a stronger brand online.

Why Your TikTok URL Matters More Than You Think

Your TikTok URL is more than just a web address, it's a direct gateway to your content and your brand. Think of it as your digital business card for the platform. Understanding how to find and use it is essential for growing your presence and connecting with others. Here’s why it’s so important:

• Cross-Promotion: This is the big one. To drive traffic from your other social profiles like Instagram, X (Twitter), or your YouTube channel, you need to link out to your TikTok. Adding your TikTok URL to your bio on other platforms gives your existing followers a frictionless way to find and follow you there.
• Professional Branding: When collaborating with other creators or brands, they'll ask for your URL. Providing a clean, direct link (e.g., `tiktok.com/@yourbrand`) looks professional and makes it easy for them to check out your content. It’s also perfect for adding to email signatures, press kits, or your website’s contact page.
• Easy Sharing: Sometimes a single video perfectly captures what your brand is about, or you want to send a specific TikTok to a friend, a client for approval, or drop it into a group chat. Snagging the video URL is the most reliable way to do this without just sending a screenshot.
• Driving Website Traffic: If you use a "link in bio" service like Linktree or Carrd, you’ll need your main profile URL to direct traffic from TikTok back to your other important links, like your online store, blog, or portfolio.

In short, knowing how to grab the right URL on the fly makes you a more effective creator and marketer. It streamlines your workflow and makes connecting your brand across the web much simpler.

How to Find Your TikTok Profile URL

Your profile URL is the link that leads directly to your main TikTok page, showing your bio, follower count, and grid of videos. Here's how to locate it on both mobile and desktop.

On the TikTok Mobile App (iPhone or Android)

There are a couple of ways to find your URL in the app, but this first method is the most direct.

Method 1: From the "Edit Profile" Screen

1. Open TikTok and Go to Your Profile: Tap the Profile icon in the bottom-right corner of the main navigation menu.
2. Tap "Edit Profile": This button is located directly below your follower and likes count.
3. Find Your URL: Look for the section labeled "TikTok URL." It will be displayed just below your username, formatted as tiktok.com/@yourusername.
4. Copy the Link: To the right of your URL, you’ll see a small copy icon (it looks like two overlapping squares). Tap this icon, and the URL will be copied to your phone's clipboard, ready to paste anywhere you need it.

Method 2: Using the "Share Profile" Option

This method works just as well and is useful if you want to share your profile through another app quickly.

1. Navigate to Your Profile: Tap on the Profile icon in the bottom-right.
2. Open the Menu: Tap the hamburger menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. Select "Settings and privacy": At the bottom of the pop-up menu, tap this option.
4. Tap "Share profile": This will open your phone’s native sharing menu.
5. Choose "Copy link": You can share directly to another app from here, or just tap the Copy link option to copy the URL to your clipboard.

On a Desktop Web Browser

Getting your URL on a computer is even simpler because it's right in front of you.

1. Go to TikTok.com: Open your favorite browser and navigate to the TikTok website.
2. Log In to Your Account: If you aren't already logged in, do so now.
3. View Your Profile: Hover over your profile icon in the top-right corner and click on "View Profile" from the dropdown menu.
4. Copy from the Address Bar: Once your profile page loads, the URL in your browser's address bar at the very top of the screen is your profile URL. Just click on it, right-click and select "Copy," or use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+C on Windows, Cmd+C on Mac).

How to Find the URL of a Specific TikTok Video

Sometimes you don't want to send people to your whole profile, but to one specific video. This is great for getting client feedback, sharing a viral hit, or using a TikTok as an example in a blog post.

On the TikTok Mobile App

1. Find the Video: Scroll to the video you want to share. This can be your own video or a video from any other creator.
2. Tap the Share Icon: On the right side of the video, look for the share icon. It often appears as an arrow pointing right, or sometimes the logo for a messaging app like WhatsApp. Tapping it opens the sharing menu.
3. Tap "Copy link": In the row of sharing options, find the "Copy link" button. It's usually gray with a chain link symbol. Tap it, and the video's direct URL will be saved to your clipboard.

On a Desktop Web Browser

Sharing a video from a desktop is just as quick.

1. Navigate to the Video: Find the video you want to get the link for on the TikTok website.
2. Click the "Copy link" button: To the right of the video player, right below the creator's username, there's a button that says "Copy link." Clicking this will automatically copy the full URL.
3. (Alternate method) Use the Address Bar: Just like with your profile, if you are viewing a single video on its own page, you can copy the URL directly from your browser's address bar.

How to Customize Your TikTok Profile URL

Your main profile URL is directly tied to your username. So, if you want a custom URL, you need to change your TikTok username. This is a powerful move for branding, but it's important to understand the implications before you do it.

A great username (and URL) is:

• Consistent: It matches your handles on Instagram, YouTube, and other platforms.
• Memorable: It's easy for people to remember and type in.
• Clean: It avoids random numbers or too many underscores, which can look less professional.

Steps to Change Your Username (and URL)

You can only do this from within the mobile app.

1. Go to your Profile screen.
2. Tap "Edit Profile."
3. Tap your current Username.
4. Type in your new desired username. TikTok will check in real-time if it's available.
5. Once you find one you like that's available, tap "Save." Your profile URL will update instantly to reflect the new username!

Important Things to Know Before Changing Your Username

Don't rush this! Making a change here has a few consequences you need to consider:

• You Can Only Change It Every 30 Days. Once you set a new username, you are locked in for a full month. Triple-check for any typos before you save.
• Previous Links Will Break. If you've posted your old profile link on your website, in emails, or on other social profiles, those links will all lead to a "page not found" error. You'll need to go back and update them everywhere.
• You Could Lose Verification. If you have a coveted blue checkmark, changing your username may cause you to lose your verified status. It's best to consult TikTok's help resources before making this change if you're a verified creator.
