With so many different features and functions on the globally-popular TikTok platform, it can be tough to keep track of everything and remember every nuanced part of the platform.
One of those small details that doesn’t seem to matter much is our TikTok URL.
Because most users access the platform via mobile, some may not even know that there is, in fact, a URL that connects to each individual TikTok account.
It’s not something we think about on a daily basis, but when it comes time to share our profile to outside sources, we may find ourselves scrambling to locate the link.
It’s also important for business purposes and influencers who make their living on TikTok. Your TikTok URL is completely unique to your profile, just like your username, and it can be used by people to quickly reach a TikTok profile.
You can easily use your TikTok URL to insert on your website, email newsletters, or even other social media networks such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok so that people can find you and boost your follower or view count.
This quick article will help you to locate your TikTok URL via various devices as well as how to find other users’ URLs and even change it if you so desire. Let’s go!

What is a TikTok URL?
Just to make sure that we understand what a URL is, let’s go back to basics— a URL, also called a Universal Resource Locator, is the web link that you can see in the address bar of your browser when you use the internet or navigate to a website.
A TikTok URL is exactly the same thing; when an internet user puts the URL into their web browser’s address bar or clicks on a hyperlink, they will be directed to your TikTok account.
This is very important for TikTok marketing and other promotionl strategies to get more reach and viewers on your account.

- Visit the target profile on TikTok via mobile app

How to Find TikTok Post URLs
The primary purpose of TikTok is to share in-feed videos with your followers and other people who might come across your content. It’s simple to share your TikTok videos not only on TikTok itself, but on outside platforms as well using the post URL.
Under each post, you’ll find an arrow icon that looks like a paper airplane; this icon allows you to share your post directly on TikTok. It won’t, however, let you share the post outside of TikTok.
You can still share the post outside of TikTok, but the option is in a different location. You can find it by doing the following:
- Open the post you want to share on TikTok
- Tap the share icon on the right side of the post
- You’ll see a menu pop up with various options
- Tap Copy Link
- You can then paste the link and share it where you wish.
How to Change Your TikTok URL
Because your TikTok username is connected to your URL, it’s very simple to change and can be done in a matter of minutes.
If you’re running a TikTok page for your business and you want the URL to match your brand better, or you want it to be easier to find, this may be just the action for you.
It can be great to include punctuation or special characters in your TikTok username, but it can overcomplicate things if you are trying to direct your users to your profile via URL; they won’t be able to easily remember it.
In order to change your TikTok URL, you have to change your username. Not only that, you’ll need to update any outside links or sources that were previously connected to the old URL as they will no longer work.
If you’d previously linked your TikTok URL to an icon on your website, an email newsletter, on your blog, etc, you’ll want to update all of those links.
In order to change your TikTok username to effectively and immediately change your URL, follow these steps:
- Open your TikTok account via mobile or desktop and navigate to your main profile page
- If you’re on mobile, you can easily tap the Edit option directly to the right of your TikTok username; on the computer, visit your main profile page and click the pink Edit Profile option under your profile pic.
- Once there, delete your old username and type what you want to replace your old TikTok URL/username
- Your username and TikTok URL will now reflect the new change
Tip: keep your username short and simple, and make it as relevant to your brand as possible. When you create a catchy TikTok username, it’s easier for people to remember you and visit your page regularly.
