Getting the URL of your Instagram page can be interesting for many reasons. Perhaps, you want to link to a particular Instagram publication from your page on your website, but don't know how, or maybe you want more people to know about your new logo design on social networks, and therefore share your page.

Whatever you want to use your Instagram URL for, you can effortlessly get the URL for specific publications as well as for your entire profile on Instagram. Here we detail each method: on IOS, on Windows, via web browser or mobile.

How to get the'Instagram URL?

The good news is that you're not limited to getting a URL from your own Instagram profile on the social network. You can also obtain the Instagram account URL of any profile'even if the account is private.

For the latter, this is surely no great surprise, as just because you obtain the URL of a private profile doesn't mean you can access its publications, and after all, that's the whole point of a private Instagram.

What's more, you can also get the URL of'an Instagram post - both for your own posts and those of others.

To get the'Instagram URL from a post, you first need to access that post.

As such, this means you can't retrieve the'URL from an Instagram post if an account is private. Because if you can't access it, you can't take the URL of a post.

On the other hand, if you follow the private account, you'd expect to be able to access its posts and thus get the URL of posts that have been shared. But if this were possible, the whole point of having a private account would be lost, so it's not possible.

There are three link options on Instagram, which are as follows:

  1. URL of Instagram page
  2. URL for an Instagram photo
  3. URL for an Instagram video

Note: in the case of getting the URL for a photo or video, if the account is private, you won't be able to do it, regardless of the method.
