How to find and copy your Instagram URL
Before you can shorten an Instagram link, you need the full URL. Here's where to find each type.
Your profile link
- In the app: open your profile, tap the menu (the three lines, top right), and choose Share this profile → Kopieer link.
- On desktop: go to
instagram.com/yourusername— the address bar is your profile URL. Your profile link is alwaysinstagram.com/followed by your username.
A post or reel link
- Open the post or reel.
- Tap the ⋯ menu in the top right.
- Choose Kopieer link. You now have the full URL, ready to shorten.
Why shorten Instagram links
A raw Instagram URL — especially one copied with tracking parameters — is long and cluttered. Shortening it gives you a clean link plus things the original can't do:
A cleaner bio link
Put one short, branded link in your bio instead of a long URL. It looks more trustworthy and takes up less space.
Track your clicks
See how many people tap your link. Free shows basic stats; paid adds location, device, and time.
A QR code too
Every short link comes with a QR code, so you can put your Instagram on print, packaging, or business cards.
And on a paid Pageloot plan, your links become editable — so you can change where your bio link points without touching your bio. Swap a campaign, a product, or a landing page anytime; the link stays the same.
How to shorten an Instagram link
Three steps:
- Copy your Instagram link — your profile, post, or reel URL (see above), or any link you want in your bio.
- Paste and shorten — drop it into the URL shortener and click Shorten. You get a short
pageloot.com/s/link instantly, with a matching QR code. - Use it — add it to your bio or story link sticker, or share it anywhere, then watch the clicks.
Want it branded? Add your own keyword to the link for free (for example pageloot.com/s/myshop).
Where to use short Instagram links
- Your bio — the one clickable link on your profile. Make it short, branded, and trackable, and (on paid) editable so you never have to update your bio again.
- Story link stickers — a clean link looks better than a raw URL and is easier to read at a glance.
- DMs — share a tidy link in conversations instead of a long string.
- Other platforms — share your Instagram profile, post, or reel on X/Twitter, LinkedIn, email, or your website with a short, clean link.
- Print & offline — use the link's QR code on flyers, packaging, or business cards to send people straight to your Instagram. → QR-codegenerator
Instagram links + QR codes
Every short link you create comes with its own QR code. Print it on a poster, product, or business card and anyone who scans it lands on your Instagram profile, post, or whatever you've pointed the link to. On a paid plan you can change that destination later without reprinting the code, so a QR on packaging can point to a new campaign whenever you want.
