How to make a link in bio page or Linktree in 2026
To make a link in bio page, pick a template, add your profile image, stack your primary links and social
icons, and publish to a short URL. Linktree, Beacons, Carrd, Milkshake, and Heya all have $0 free plans,
while paid plans range from $9 per year on Carrd ($3 a month on Heya Pro Lite) to $100 per month on
Beacons.
Heya is ours, so read its row with that in mind. Every other number comes from each company's own pages,

How to build a link in bio page step by step
-
Open the link-in-bio template without signing up Start in the Heya editor on your
phone or computer using one of the 68 templates available, or start from a blank page. You do not need
an account or credit card to start, and your draft saves in your browser.
-
Add your photo, name, and bio Use the image, heading, and text blocks at the top of
the page to introduce yourself. Heya accepts uploaded images up to 20 MB, resizes them to 2048 pixels
on the long edge, and converts them to WebP.
-
Add your main buttons and links Add a buttons block for up to 6 featured calls to
action, and a links block for up to 50 standard links. Put your most important destination at the top
so visitors do not have to scroll.
-
Connect social icons and media embeds Add a socials block to link up to 29 social
networks plus your email, phone, and website. If you want media or scheduling on the page, use the
embed block for YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud, Calendly, or Google Maps.
-
Pick your fonts, colors, and share image Customize the page using 42 fonts, 14 theme
presets, and a 5-color palette. Set your page title, description, tab icon, and a 1200x630 share image
so your link previews cleanly when shared in messages or social posts.
-
Sign in with Google to publish at yourname.heya.bio When your page is ready, sign in
with Google to publish for $0 at yourname.heya.bio. You can paste that URL into your social media
profiles, or upgrade to Pro Lite for $3 a month to remove the Made with Heya badge.

Rules and limits that matter when picking a tool
Check the rules on badges, domains, and selling fees before you publish. Removing the badge costs $3 a
month on Heya Pro Lite. On other tools, it costs $9 / year on Carrd Pro Lite, US$2.99 per month billed
monthly on Milkshake, and $14 per month billed annually ($17 billed monthly) on Linktree Pro. For
custom domains, Heya Pro Standard costs $6 a month and includes 1 custom domain per account (with up
to 5 sites), Carrd starts at $19 / year, Beacons includes a free domain on its $100 per year Creator
plan, and Milkshake has them on Pro+ at US$99.99 per year.
Linktree, Beacons, and Milkshake have built-in digital product checkouts, Carrd adds Stripe Checkout
on Pro Plus at $49 / year, and on Heya you link a button to your checkout or store page. Heya lets you
start building without an account and publish with Google sign-in, and Pro Plus ($15/mo) lets you
download your site as an HTML ZIP (Carrd includes HTML downloads at $49 / year).
What to put on a link in bio page
Start your page with an image, your name or handle in a heading, and a short description so visitors
know they're in the right place. Put your main links in primary buttons and the rest in a link list.
On Heya, one page holds up to 40 sections, with up to 6 buttons in a buttons block and up to 50 links
in a links block, plus a socials block for 29 networks, email, phone, and website.
You can also embed media or booking tools directly so people don't have to click away. Heya's embed
block works with YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud, Calendly, and Google Maps, while Milkshake Cards
handle YouTube videos, podcast episodes, and blog posts. For launches or events, Heya also has a
countdown block that tracks days, hours, minutes, and seconds to your date.
Common mistakes to avoid
Linktree, Milkshake, and Beacons allow unlimited links or sub-pages and Heya fits up to 50 links per
links block, but putting dozens of ungrouped links on one screen makes it hard for visitors to pick.
Keep your main call to action at the top and split extra links into sections or sub-pages, like Heya
Free's 5 pages per site (20 on Pro Lite) or Beacons' unlimited Link in Bio sub-pages on all four
plans.
Don't skip page metadata and social previews either, or your link will look blank in chats. Heya lets
you set a site name, description, tab icon, and 1200x630 share image, while Carrd includes favicons
and share images on Pro ($9 / year and up) and Milkshake has them on Pro (US$5.00 per month, billed
yearly at US$59.99 per year). Finally, don't pay for monthly creator suites just for simple links, or
pick a static builder if you need analytics, forms, or checkout.
