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.
Rules by platform
- Instagram: 1–30 characters; letters, numbers, periods, underscores; cannot end in a period.
- TikTok: 2–24 characters; letters, numbers, periods, underscores.
- X: up to 15 characters; letters, numbers, underscores only — no periods.
- YouTube handle: 3–30 characters; letters, numbers, periods, underscores, hyphens.
Rules read from each platform's help centre on 2026-08-29.
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 an Instagram username?+
Letters, numbers, periods and underscores, up to 30 characters, and it cannot end with a period. TikTok allows the same set up to 24; X allows letters, numbers and underscores up to 15.
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.
