Import your existing links, pick a real design, and publish a page that looks like you. Most people stay on Linktree out of inertia, not love. The page works, it is just generic, and the thought of rebuilding it sounds like a chore. It is not. You can move your links over in one step and have a page that actually looks like you in a couple of minutes. This guide walks through a full switch: import, redesign, richer blocks, publish, and update every place you share the old URL. ## Before you switch: a 60-second checklist - Open your current Linktree and note the username (you will paste the full URL). - Decide the handle you want on the new page (ideally the same name you already use on Instagram or TikTok). - Have a square photo ready (your face or brand mark works best at 512×512). - Write one sentence about what you do. That becomes your headline or the first line of your bio. You do not need to delete Linktree yet. Keep it live until the new page is published and the bio link is updated everywhere. ## Step 1: claim your handle Create an account at [mypage.cc](https://mypage.cc/) and claim `mypage.cc/yourname`. Short and memorable beats clever. If your usual handle is taken, try a clean variant you already use on another platform so people recognize it. ## Step 2: import what you already have Instead of retyping every link, use **Import from Linktree** in the editor. Paste your existing Linktree URL. It pulls your links across so you start from where you are, not from a blank page. Two minutes of copying becomes one paste. After import, skim the list: - Remove dead or seasonal links you no longer need. - Put the one action you care about most at the top (booking, shop, latest release). - Rename vague labels (“Link 3”) to clear ones (“Book a call”, “New single”). ## Step 3: make it look like you, not a template This is the whole point of switching. Pick a theme that fits your brand, add your photo, write a real bio, and choose a layout. The difference between a Linktree and a designed page is immediate: one looks like a default, the other looks like a homepage. Practical tips: - **Photo:** use a clear headshot or a crop that reads at phone size. Avoid tiny logos that disappear on a dark theme. - **Headline:** one line that says who you are for a stranger (“Product designer in Austin”, “Wedding photographer”). - **Bio:** two or three short lines. Bold the words that matter. Skip the wall of hashtags. - **Layout:** try cover or portrait if you want the photo to lead; stacked or card if the links should lead. Switch themes until the page feels like your Instagram grid, not like the tool. ## Step 4: add the richer blocks A button list is the floor, not the ceiling. Add what a plain link list cannot do: - A short **video** intro (YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, or Spotify) - A **gallery** of work - **Social icons** for the platforms you actually use - A **contact** or booking button - A **text** section for a pinned offer or FAQ You do not need every block on day one. Add one or two that prove you are more than a list of URLs, then publish. ## Step 5: publish and swap the link Publish the page, open it on your phone, and tap every link once. Then change the one link in: - Instagram / Threads bio - TikTok bio - YouTube channel and About links - X / Twitter and LinkedIn - Email signature and media kit Everyone who taps now lands on the new page. No one else has to update anything. ## What to do with the old Linktree Leave it up for a week with a single top link pointing to your new page, or unpublish it once analytics show traffic has moved. If someone bookmarked the old URL, that temporary redirect-style link on Linktree covers the transition. ## What you keep vs what you gain **You keep** - A short, memorable link - Free hosting to start - Fast load times on mobile **You gain** - Themes and layouts that change the whole page, not just button colors - Blocks beyond buttons (gallery, video, contact, forms on paid plans) - A page that reads like you instead of like everyone else ## Common questions **Will I lose my analytics history?** Past Linktree stats stay on Linktree. New views and clicks start fresh on mypage.cc. Export anything you need before you leave. **Can I use my own domain?** Yes, on Pro. Until then, `mypage.cc/yourname` is the share URL. **Is the free plan enough to switch?** Yes for a designed page with core blocks and basic analytics. Upgrade when you want full analytics, custom SEO, or a custom domain. Start the switch at [mypage.cc](https://mypage.cc/login/), or read the [Linktree alternative](https://mypage.cc/linktree-alternative/) page if you are still comparing. --- Fetched as Markdown for AI agents.
