Username generator

Ideas built from your own words — a name, a brand, what you make — shaped the way handles are actually written, within the length and character rules of the platform you pick. Then check one in a click.

Type a word or two above and the ideas appear here.

Pick your platform

The generator above works everywhere. These five pages go further: each one quotes that platform's own rule from the platform's own page, with the link and the day it was read, and sets the generator to match.

X and Threads have no page of their own yet: the selector above applies a length cap for them, not a quoted rule.

Frequently asked questions

How does this username generator work?+

It starts from the words you type — your name, your brand, what you do — and combines them the way real handles are built: joined, dotted, with a role word, a niche word, a short prefix or a number. Nothing is random and nothing is fetched; the ideas are made in your browser.

Which characters are allowed in a username?+

It differs per platform, and the number matters enough that it is quoted rather than remembered: TikTok publishes 2 to 24 characters with no period at the end, YouTube publishes 3 to 30 for a handle plus hyphens and middle dots. Each platform page below carries its own rule with the link it came from and the date it was read.

How do I check if a username is available?+

Pick an idea and press Check — it opens our Instagram username checker with the name filled in, which reads the public profile page and tells you whether someone already has it.

Should I use the same username everywhere?+

Yes if you can get it: one handle across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X is easier to say in a video and easier to search. Generate with the shortest platform limit in mind (X, 15 characters) and the name will fit everywhere.

What makes a username easy to find?+

Short, spellable from hearing it once, no lookalike characters (l vs 1, O vs 0), and the word people will search for you by — your name or your topic — at the front.

Guides

Picked a name?

Connect the account, then write once for all of them

The same name on Instagram, TikTok, X and Threads means four accounts to post to. Connect each with its own sign-in and one caption reaches all four, each within its own limit.

Write once, tailor per platform

One caption; each platform gets its own card with its real limit, a title where one is needed, a first comment where the platform allows it.

Schedule, queue, or repeat

Pick a time, drop it in recurring slots, or recycle a post every few weeks. Best times to post come from your own history.

Media fitted per platform

An image outside a platform's ratio is padded with a blurred copy of itself. Carousels where allowed, a PDF as a LinkedIn document.

$5 per connected account / month
