Instagram Username FAQ

How do I check if an Instagram username is available?▼

Enter the exact handle in our free checker. It checks Instagram and 37 more platforms at once, so you can lock the same name everywhere.

What are the Instagram username rules?▼

Up to 30 characters, using letters, numbers, periods and underscores. Usernames are not case sensitive, so capitals do not change the handle.

What if the Instagram username I want is taken?▼

Names free up when their owner changes or deletes an account. Add the handle to monitoring and we will email you the moment it becomes available.

Should I use periods or underscores?▼

Periods read more cleanly (yourname.ig) and underscores look more technical (your_name). Avoid starting or ending with a period.

Are IG username ideas different from Instagram username ideas?▼

No. IG is just shorthand for Instagram, so every IG username idea here is an Instagram username idea. Pick one, then check the exact handle before you claim it.
