How it works

A strong bio answers three questions in seconds: what do you do, who is it for, and what should I do next? The generator builds variations from those parts, adds your credibility detail and location where they fit, and checks each version against the selected platform’s limit:

  • Instagram bio: 150 characters
  • TikTok bio: 80 characters
  • X (Twitter) bio: 160 characters
  • LinkedIn headline: 220 characters
  • YouTube channel description: 1000 characters

Line breaks are used on Instagram and TikTok, single lines on X and LinkedIn.

Example

For a wedding photographer in Cape Town with 200+ weddings, an Instagram bio might read:

📸 Wedding photographer · Cape Town
For couples who want relaxed, natural photos
⭐ 200+ weddings
👇 Book a date below

Put a WhatsApp click-to-chat link in your bio so people can contact you in one tap.

Frequently asked questions

What are the bio character limits?

At the time of writing: Instagram bio 150 characters; TikTok bio 80 characters; X (Twitter) bio 160 characters; LinkedIn headline 220 characters; YouTube channel description 1000 characters. Platforms do change these, so check if a bio is rejected.

How are bios generated?

Your details are combined using bio structures for each platform — what you do, who you help, a credibility detail and a call to action — then any version that exceeds the platform’s limit is shortened or dropped. It runs in your browser and isn’t AI-written.

Should I use emoji in my bio?

A few emoji can make a short bio scannable on Instagram and TikTok. On LinkedIn, plain text usually reads as more professional. Use the emoji toggle to compare.
