From setting up your first bio link to scaling a multi-product creator business — step-by-step guides, tips and best practices.
Welcome to Bio Studio! You're minutes away from your first link, first product, and first sale. Here's the 30-second orientation.
Head to /register, pick a username (this becomes your URL: biostudio.in/u/yourname), enter your email & password. You'll be in your dashboard in under a minute.
In Settings, write a short bio, upload your avatar (or use the auto-generated one), and link your Instagram, YouTube, etc.
Open the Links tab → click "Add link" → paste a URL (your YouTube, blog, newsletter, anything). Drag to reorder.
Copy biostudio.in/u/yourname and paste it into your Instagram bio, YouTube description, WhatsApp status — anywhere.
Pro tip: The fastest path to your first 100 clicks is to put your Bio Studio link as the only link in your Instagram bio, then mention it in your next post/story: "Link in bio 🔗".
Most creators are live in under 5 minutes.
Passwords are bcrypt-hashed. Sessions are cookie-protected.
UPI, COD, WhatsApp, GST — first-class.
Your bio page is your home on the internet — one link that holds everything. Here's how to make it shine.
Open the Settings tab from your dashboard sidebar.
Update display name, bio (max 280 chars), phone, WhatsApp, social handles.
Click the upload button. JPG, PNG, GIF or WEBP up to 5 MB. We auto-resize for you.
Choose from 19 themes, or set custom colors & fonts.
Click "Save changes". Your bio page updates instantly at /u/yourname.
Theme tip: Match your bio page colors to your Instagram aesthetic. Consistent branding = trust = clicks.
Links are the heart of your bio page. Add unlimited links, drag to reorder, track every click.
From your dashboard sidebar, click "Links".
The button is in the top-right of the links panel.
Enter a title (e.g. "My YouTube channel"), the URL (e.g. https://youtube.com/@you), and pick a type (website, video, social, etc.).
The link appears at the bottom of your bio page. Drag the ⋮⋮ handle to reorder.
Bio Studio auto-detects the link type from the URL (YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) and shows the right icon. You can also manually override the type in the link editor.
| URL contains | Auto-type | Icon |
|---|---|---|
youtube.com / youtu.be | video | ▶️ YouTube |
instagram.com | social | |
twitter.com / x.com | social | 🐦 Twitter/X |
facebook.com | social | |
wa.me / whatsapp.com | ||
| Anything else | website | 🌐 Globe |
Every click on a link is counted automatically — no extra setup needed. View per-link click counts in the Links tab, and aggregate trends in the Reports tab (Premium).
Analytics tip: Put your most important link first — top-of-page links get 3-5× more clicks than ones further down.
