This article explains how to change your URL on Facebook and other major social networks. Knowing your profile URL and sharing it with your friends will help them find you on social media.
Create customized URLs for all your social profiles
All major social networks do not automatically create a profile URL from your full name or username by default when you sign up.
Exceptions: X, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest
When using X, Instagram, and Pinterest, the URL is always (service).com/username.
If you change your username on one of these social networks, your URL will change automatically.
What you can change: Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn
Some of the most popular social networks don’t set your profile URL using your full name or username by default. For example, Facebook began notifying users that they could change their profile URLs several years after launch.
Check the URL of your Facebook profile, Facebook page, YouTube channel, and LinkedIn profile. Snapchat allows users to share their username with new contacts, so you should consider that as well.
Why streamline your social profile URLs?
Customizing the URLs of your social profiles makes them easier to find. Changing your URL has the following benefits:
- Provide the exact URL to connect to your new contact. That way you don’t have to tell people to “look me up on Facebook” and force them to play a guessing game about which profile is yours. “My profile is facebook.com/my name” will find you on the first try.
- Your name will rank in search engines. When someone searches for your full name or business name on Google, your profile is more likely to appear as a top result if the URL also includes your full name or business name.
Change your Facebook profile URL (username)

The URL will appear as facebook.com/.[username]. Enter your password and confirm the change.
Unlike other social networks, many of them allow you to change your username at any time and as many times as you like. You can only do it once on Facebook. Therefore, you can’t change your username and URL again, so think carefully about what you choose.
