Instagram username generator

Get ten Instagram username ideas that follow Instagram's rules: letters, numbers, periods and underscores, 30 characters at most.

How to use it

Say what the account is about and, if you like, your first name. You get ten username ideas. Each one follows Instagram's rules: lowercase letters, numbers, periods and underscores, 30 characters at most, and no period at the start or end.

The generator doesn't check whether a name is taken. Search for it in Instagram before you get attached to it.

What makes a good handle

  • Easy to say out loud, and easy to spell after hearing it once.
  • Tells people what the account is about or who runs it.
  • Short enough to fit on a business card next to your name.

Once you've picked one, write the rest of the profile with the Instagram bio generator.

Questions

Can I change my username later?

Yes, you can change it in your profile settings. Old links to your profile stop working once someone else takes the old name.

Is a business name or a personal name better?

If people buy from you, your own name builds trust. If you plan to grow a team, a business name travels better.
