How to make a Linktree for Instagram (free, step by step)

You want one link in your Instagram bio that opens a page with everything on it. That is what people mean by “make a Linktree”. Here is how to make one with Linktree itself, using the steps from its own Help Center, how to put it on your Instagram profile, and how to build the same kind of page free on Linkerzz if you would rather.

How do I make a Linktree?

Linktree’s Help Center says you can sign up at linktr.ee/register or in the Linktree app for iOS or Android. Then:

1. Go to Sign up.
2. Enter your email address. Check it for typos, because you will need it to verify your account.
3. Choose a username that represents you or your brand. It becomes part of your address, linktr.ee/yourusername.
4. Select a plan. Linktree says you can compare plans before you choose.
5. Follow the prompts to add your first links and pick a theme.

Your username is part of the address people will see, so pick something that matches your Instagram name. It is worth having the two line up, because that is what makes the page feel like yours.

How to add more links

Linktree’s page on creating a link says to open My Linktree, select Edit, and in the Links tab select + Add. Then:

1. Enter the URL of the link, or search for a Link App.
2. Add a title. This is the text that appears on the button.
3. Choose a thumbnail if you want one.
4. Choose a layout: Classic, or Featured for an expanded view.

Keep the first few links to the things you most want people to do, such as book, buy or subscribe. Our guide on what to put in your link in bio has ideas.

How do I add my Linktree to Instagram?

Copy your Linktree address. Linktree’s help page on sharing lists your Instagram bio among the places to put it. Then, in Instagram:

1. Tap your profile picture to go to your profile.
2. Tap Edit profile.
3. Tap Links, then Add external link, and paste your address.
4. Tap Done.

Instagram’s Help Center says you can add up to 5 websites to your profile, and that anyone, on or off Instagram, can see them. It also says this is not available on the web app, so use the Instagram app on Android or iPhone. The full steps, with the Android wording and how to reorder, are in how to add a link to your Instagram bio. If the link does not work after you save it, these seven checks cover the usual causes.

Can I make a Linktree for free?

Yes. Linktree’s pricing page lists a Free plan with unlimited basic links. The paid plans add things on top: the page says Starter has a personalised Linktree, unlimited featured links and basic analytics, and Pro adds removing the Linktree branding and custom designs. We compare the limits in more detail in the best link in bio tools.

How do I make the same page on Linkerzz?

If you would rather not use Linktree, a Linkerzz page does the same job, and it starts free. The steps:

1. Sign up. You can use Google, an email and password (you confirm your email once), or an email sign-in link.
2. Type your name or brand and choose your address. It will be linkerzz.com/yourname.
3. Pick a ready-made template: creators, coaches, real estate agents, photographers, freelancers, restaurants and cafes, or a blank page.
4. Replace the example content. The template’s links, photos and details are examples. Linkerzz will not let you publish while example links and other placeholders are still in place, so you will not put a sample page in front of followers by accident.
5. Choose a look. Pick a theme, a header photo or an animated colour header, and the buttons you like.
6. Publish, then copy your address and add it to Instagram’s Links field as shown above.

Be aware of two limits before you choose. The free plan allows 7 blocks (a link, a contact form or a picture tile each count as one; dividers do not), and free pages show a small “Made with Linkerzz” badge. The paid plan raises the block limit and takes the badge off. There is no import from Linktree, so copy your links across by hand. Keep your Linktree live until the new page is ready, then swap the link in your bio.

A short checklist

• Choose a username that matches your Instagram name.
• Add your most important link first.
• Copy the address and add it in the Instagram app, under Edit profile, Links.
• Tap your own link after saving it, to check that it opens the right page.
• If you want more than a list of links, what to put in your link in bio shows how to use the space.
