The complete username checker
Check username availability everywhere at once
Handle.tools is a free username checker and handle checker. Type a name once and instantly check username availability on the Instagram username checker, TikTok, X (Twitter), YouTube, GitHub, Roblox and 40+ more platforms, and see whether the matching .com, .io and .ai domains are free. No accounts, no opening a dozen sign-up pages.
A consistent handle is what makes a personal brand easy to find. Whether you're naming a startup, launching as a creator or shortlisting names for a client, a username check across every platform up front stops you building on a name that's already taken somewhere that matters.
Got a shortlist? Compare it in the bulk username checker. Need ideas? The username generator makes 20 at a time. Want the website too? The domain name search checks 150+ extensions, and the username character limits page shows every platform's rules.
Username checker FAQ
- How do I check if a username is available?
- Type the username into the search box at the top of this page. The username checker looks it up live on Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube and 40+ other platforms at once, plus 15 domain extensions like .com, .io and .ai, and shows which are free. No account needed.
- What is a handle checker?
- A handle checker tells you whether a @handle is still free on social platforms before you try to claim it. Handle.tools is a free username and handle checker: one search covers every major platform, so you can pick a name that's free everywhere.
- Which platforms does the username checker cover?
- Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter), YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook, Discord, Twitch, Kick, Pinterest, Linktree, Bluesky, GitHub, Roblox, Minecraft, Xbox and many more. Each also has its own page, like the Instagram username checker, TikTok username checker and YouTube handle checker.
- Is handle.tools free?
- Yes. The username availability checker, username generator, bulk username checker (up to 5 names) and domain name search (150+ extensions) are free with no sign-up. Pro adds bigger bulk checks and domain expiry alerts.
- Can I check several usernames at once?
- Yes. The bulk username checker compares a shortlist across the main platforms and the .com in one table, and the bulk domain search does the same for domains.
- What if my username is taken?
- Try a small variation (add hq, real, its or a short word), or let the username generator make 20 ideas from it. Our guide to getting the same username on every platform has more ways in.
- How is this different from a username search?
- This page checks whether a name is free to claim. If you want to look someone up and find their profiles by username, use the username search instead.
Guide
How to find an available username
Four steps to a handle you can own everywhere.
- STEP 01Start with one word
Pick a short word that says who you are or what you do. Under 15 characters is ideal.
- STEP 02Check it everywhere
Search it here to see every platform and domain at once, not one site at a time.
- STEP 03Tweak, don't reinvent
If it's taken, add a simple prefix or suffix (the, real, hq) so it stays recognisable.
- STEP 04Claim it the same day
Register the .com and sign up on each platform before someone else takes it.
