How to Add a Link to Your Pinterest Profile

To add a link to your Pinterest profile, open Settings, choose Edit profile, enter the URL in the Website field, and save. Pinterest provides one clickable Website field on both personal and business profiles; URLs typed into the 500-character bio remain plain text. Website claiming is a separate process and requires a business account.

Pinterest documents the Website field for both personal and business accounts (Pinterest Help, verified August 2026).

Is the Website field the only clickable profile link?

Yes. Pinterest's profile bio can contain up to 500 characters, but URLs entered there do not become clickable; the dedicated Website field is the profile's clickable website destination (Pinterest Help, verified August 2026).

Individual Pins work differently. A Pin can have its own destination link, allowing your profile to point to one main website while individual Pins direct visitors to specific products, articles, or landing pages (Pinterest Help, verified August 2026).

What does claiming a Pinterest website do?

Claiming verifies that you control a website; it is separate from adding a clickable URL to your profile. Pinterest requires a business account and access that lets you verify the domain, subdomain, or subpath (Pinterest Business Help, verified August 2026).

Pinterest supports website claiming through an HTML tag, an uploaded HTML file, a DNS TXT record, or an eligible Google Merchant Center connection. Because verification requires control of the website, you generally cannot claim another social profile or a marketplace-hosted store whose source code or DNS records you cannot edit.

After a site is claimed, Pinterest can:

• Show your profile picture beside Pins saved from the site.
• Link those Pins back to your Pinterest profile.
• Give viewers an option to follow your account.
• Provide analytics about content shared from the site.

A website can be claimed by only one Pinterest account at a time (Pinterest Business Help, verified August 2026). Claiming is not required merely to make the Website field clickable.

How do Pinterest’s link options compare?

Do I need a business account to add a Pinterest link?

No. Personal and business accounts can both add a URL through the Website field; claiming that website is the feature that requires a business account (Pinterest Help, verified August 2026).

Pinterest business accounts are free and add tools such as analytics and advertising access (Pinterest Business, verified August 2026). You do not need those tools if your only goal is to display a working profile link.

What should your Pinterest profile link point to?

Choose a destination that matches what you want visitors to do next, such as reading your site, viewing products, booking a service, supporting a project, or contacting you.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add more than one link to my Pinterest profile?

No. Pinterest provides one Website field for a profile (Pinterest Help, verified August 2026). To offer several destinations, point that field to a personal website or link-in-bio page that lists multiple options.

Does adding a link require a Pinterest business account?

No. Both personal and business accounts can use the Website field. A business account is required if you want to claim and verify ownership of the website.

Is claiming my website the same as adding it to my profile?

No. Adding a URL makes it clickable in the Website field. Claiming separately verifies ownership and enables attribution, follow prompts, and analytics for Pins saved from that site (Pinterest Business Help, verified August 2026).

Can I make text in my Pinterest bio clickable?

No. Pinterest's bio supports up to 500 characters, but URLs entered there remain plain text. Use the Website field for the clickable profile destination (Pinterest Help, verified August 2026).
