Bluesky has no separate website field. To add a link to your Bluesky bio, open your profile, select Edit Profile, paste the full URL into the Description box, and save. Bluesky then renders the URL as a clickable profile link. The same basic flow works in the mobile app and on bsky.app.
Last verified August 2026: FanBell manually tested the profile-editing flow and public link rendering in Bluesky’s mobile app and on bsky.app.
How do I add a link in the Bluesky mobile app?
- Open Bluesky and tap your avatar to view your profile.
- Tap Edit Profile.
- In the Description box, enter your bio text and paste the complete URL, including
https://. - Tap Save.
- View your public profile and tap the URL to confirm that it opens correctly.
Bluesky automatically renders a complete URL in the Description as a tappable link; no markdown, approval step, or separate website field was required in FanBell’s August 2026 mobile-app test.
How do I add a link on the Bluesky website?
- Sign in at bsky.app and open your profile.
- Select Edit Profile.
- Paste the complete URL into the Description box alongside any bio text.
- Select Save Changes.
- Check the public profile to confirm that the link works.
The web interface also rendered the saved URL as a clickable link without special formatting in FanBell’s August 2026 test on bsky.app.
How much room does a Bluesky bio provide?
Bluesky’s profile Description is limited to 256 graphemes and 2,560 bytes, while the Display Name is limited to 64 graphemes, according to the app.bsky.actor.profile AT Protocol lexicon (verified August 2026, Bluesky/atproto on GitHub).
A Bluesky handle is capped separately at 253 ASCII characters under the AT Protocol handle specification (verified August 2026, atproto.com handle spec). The handle identifies your account; it is not the profile’s outbound bio link.
| Field | Limit | Can it hold a clickable outbound link? |
|---|---|---|
| Description (bio) | 256 graphemes and 2,560 bytes | Yes; complete URLs rendered as clickable links in FanBell’s August 2026 tests |
| Display Name | 64 graphemes | No |
Handle (@handle) | Up to 253 ASCII characters | No; it identifies the account |
The 256-grapheme limit covers your entire Description, including the URL. A shorter URL therefore leaves more space to explain who you are and why someone should follow the link.
Does Bluesky have a separate website field?
No. The outbound link is placed directly in the same 256-grapheme Description field as your bio text, rather than in a separate website field. FanBell confirmed the absence of a separate website field in Bluesky’s mobile and web profile editors in August 2026.
Because the link shares space with your bio, it helps to use one short, clear destination. For comparison with another profile setup, see LinkedIn’s Contact info field.
Can I pin a Bluesky post containing my link?
Yes. Bluesky added pinned posts in its October 2024 app update, version 1.92, allowing an account to pin one post to the top of its profile (verified August 2026, atproto.com).
A pinned post can explain what visitors will find after clicking, while the Description keeps the URL immediately accessible. Using both placements can make the destination easier to notice than relying on a URL embedded in the middle of your bio text.
Where should my Bluesky bio link point?
Choose the destination based on the action you want visitors to take. A portfolio works for showcasing projects, a newsletter page works for collecting subscribers, and a paid-support page works when you want followers to ask a question, request something, tip, or support a project.
For broader placement guidance, see what to put in your link in bio. If the goal is revenue, how to monetize your link in bio explains how to choose and price an offer.
For a separate review of Bluesky’s creator-payment options and limitations, see does Bluesky pay creators. That analysis can help you decide whether your profile link should lead to an external payment, booking, or support page.
What should I decide before adding the link?
Decide on one primary action before opening Edit Profile. Visitors should be able to understand quickly whether the destination lets them read, subscribe, book, buy, ask, or support.

Frequently asked questions
Does Bluesky have a dedicated link-in-bio field?
No. Bluesky’s mobile and web profile editors had no separate website field in FanBell’s August 2026 tests. Paste the URL into the Description field, which is limited to 256 graphemes and 2,560 bytes under Bluesky’s profile lexicon (Bluesky/atproto on GitHub, verified August 2026).
How many links can I add to my Bluesky bio?
Bluesky’s profile lexicon specifies the overall Description limit but does not state a separate numerical cap for URLs. The complete Description—including all bio text and links—must fit within 256 graphemes and 2,560 bytes (Bluesky/atproto on GitHub, verified August 2026).
Does a Bluesky bio link require special formatting?
No. Paste the complete plain-text URL, including https://, into the Description and save it. Bluesky rendered that URL as a clickable link without markdown or other special syntax in FanBell’s August 2026 mobile-app and bsky.app tests.
How can I make my Bluesky link more visible?
