How to Add Clickable Links to Your Discord Bio — Liink guide

To add a clickable link to your Discord bio, open User Settings, choose Profiles, edit your User Profile, and paste the complete HTTPS address into About Me. Save, open your full profile, and click the link yourself. Discord currently allows links in About Me, but the entire section—including text, emoji, Markdown, and URLs—is limited to 190 characters.

Discord's official help pages were checked in October 2026. The interface and link behavior can change, so treat the saved-profile test as the final check. This guide focuses on the About Me section of your main profile. It also covers clickable links in messages, Connections for social accounts, and server invite links.

1.
Open Discord and select the cogwheel beside your username to open User Settings.
2.
Choose Profiles. If your settings show Edit Profiles under your name instead, select it: that is Discord's newer profile editor.

1.
Make sure you are editing your main profile (User Profile, or Main Profile at the top left of the newer editor), not a server-specific profile.
2.
In About Me (called Bio in the newer editor), paste the complete address beginning with https://, for example: Portfolio and socials: https://liink.is/yourname.
3.
Check the profile preview, then save your changes.
4.
Open View Full Profile and click the saved URL. Confirm that it opens the intended page and does not request an unexpected login.
1.
Open Discord and tap your avatar in the lower navigation.
2.
Tap Edit Profile, select the user-profile view, and find About Me.
3.
Paste the complete HTTPS address, keep the whole bio within 190 characters, and save.
4.
View the saved profile from another account or ask a trusted person to test it on mobile. This catches truncation, typo, permission, and in-app-browser problems.

Discord's current profile guide explicitly says About Me can contain Markdown text and links. Its masked-link syntax—display text in square brackets followed by a URL in parentheses—is documented in the separate chat-formatting guide. Because a chat feature is not automatically a profile guarantee, the reliable profile format is a visible, complete HTTPS URL that you verify after saving.

GoalRecommended About Me formatWhy
One destinationPortfolio: https://example.comThe destination is visible and easy to test
Several destinationsAll links: https://liink.is/yournameOne profile URL can lead to an organized public page
Discord communityJoin: https://discord.gg/your-inviteUse the current invite you control and keep it updated
Hidden anchor textDo not rely on profile support without testingMasked links are documented for chat formatting
Non-web app schemeAvoid unless Discord explicitly supports ithttps:// is the predictable cross-device format

To make clickable text in a Discord message, use a masked link. Put the words people should see in square brackets, then the full URL in parentheses. Discord shows only the words, as a link.

1.
Type the visible text in square brackets, for example [My portfolio].
2.
Add the full URL in parentheses right after it, with no space: My portfolio.
3.
Send the message, then click the link once to check that it opens the right page.

You can also paste a full URL on its own. Discord often adds a preview card with the page's title, description, or image. To share a link without that preview, wrap it in angle brackets: <https://liink.is/yourname>.

Where the link goesWhat to typeWhat happens
Message with custom text[My portfolio](https://liink.is/yourname)The words become a clickable link
Message with a plain URLhttps://liink.is/yournameDiscord may add a preview card
Message without a preview<https://liink.is/yourname>The link is shared without a preview card
Profile About MePortfolio: https://liink.is/yournameThe link counts toward the 190-character limit
Profile ConnectionsNo URL: add the account in User Settings > ConnectionsSupported accounts appear on your profile

To show your social and gaming accounts on Discord, use Connections instead of typing every link into About Me. Connections link supported services, such as X, Spotify, Xbox, and PlayStation, and display them on your user profile. You do not need Nitro.

1.
On desktop or browser, open User Settings with the cogwheel and select Connections.
2.
Select View More to see every available service, then select the one you want to add.
3.
Sign in to that service when prompted. Discord shows a confirmation message once the account is connected.

On iPhone or Android, tap your avatar in the bottom-right corner, tap the cogwheel in the top-right corner, then tap Connections and Add.

Most connections show on your profile by default. Discord hides some that are often tied to real names, such as Facebook and Spotify, until you turn them on. To change this, select the connection in your Connections settings and switch Display on profile on or off. Connections only cover the services Discord lists, so put your website, shop, or link page in About Me.

One Discord profile link opening a compact hub for a gallery, rules, calendar, and contact options
When profile space is limited, one tested hub can route community members to the few destinations that matter.

Several full destination URLs can consume Discord's About Me allowance quickly and leave no room to explain who you are. A single public link page is useful when you need to share a portfolio, stream, social profiles, community, booking page, store, or latest project together. The Discord bio still contains one clear URL; the destination page organizes the choices.

•
Put the highest-priority destination first on the landing page instead of asking visitors to scan a long list.
•
Use labels that describe the destination—Portfolio, Watch the stream, Join the community—not vague button text.
•
Remove stale campaigns and expired Discord invites so the bio remains trustworthy.
•
Keep the landing page fast and readable in Discord's in-app browser as well as a normal browser.

Liink can provide that visual destination page with text, sections, image-led cards, social and email links, file links, and supported video or audio embeds. The Free plan includes one public page and unlimited links; Pro adds custom domains and detailed analytics. Liink does not provide a native Discord integration, server management, automatic profile syncing, or guaranteed click growth.

1.
Check the spelling, https:// prefix, capitalization, and the public-page status.
2.
Open the link while signed out so an accidental private or editor-only page is obvious.
3.
Test desktop, iPhone, Android, and at least one in-app browser if those devices matter to your audience.
4.
Read the destination labels aloud, check keyboard focus and contrast, and verify every final URL.

Discord warns users about unexpected links, lookalike domains, fake login pages, and QR-code scams. Share a domain you control or trust, make the destination clear, and never ask visitors for a Discord token or password. A profile link should not imitate Discord or create false urgency.

•
Prefer a readable HTTPS domain over an opaque redirect chain.
•
If the destination asks for a Discord login, verify the address bar before entering credentials.
•
Replace expired server invites everywhere you shared them, not only in Discord About Me.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Discord's current Custom Profiles guide says the About Me section supports links and Markdown text. Paste a full HTTPS URL, save it, and verify the published profile.

Can you put a hyperlink with custom text in a Discord bio?

Discord only documents custom-text hyperlinks, called masked links, for chat messages. Its profile guide says About Me supports Markdown text and links but shows no masked-link example. If you try text in About Me, save and check your full profile. A visible https:// URL is the dependable choice.

How long can a Discord bio be?

Discord currently documents a 190-character maximum for About Me. That count includes normal text, emoji, Markdown, and links.

Discord documents links as part of the normal User Profile About Me editor. Nitro is required for server-specific profiles and selected appearance features, not for the basic global-profile workflow described here.

A single URL can open a public landing page containing several clearly labeled destinations. Discord still sees and displays one profile URL; the external page organizes the choices.

In a message, put the text in square brackets and the URL in parentheses: My portfolio. In your profile, paste the full https:// URL into About Me and save.

Open User Settings, select Connections, and add the accounts you want to show, such as X or Spotify. For anything Connections does not support, add one full URL to About Me.

Create a server invite, set how long it lasts, and paste it into your bio. Hover over a channel and select Create Invite (you need permission), then choose Edit invite link, set the duration and maximum uses, and select Generate a New Link. The default invite lasts 7 days, so replace the link in your bio if it expires.

Create one clear destination for your Discord bio

Create a visual Liink page when one verified profile URL is clearer than several cramped destinations. Keep it only if it works well for your audience.
