How to Find Your Facebook URL (Profile and Page)

Share

Summary

Your Facebook URL is the web address that links directly to your profile or Page. On desktop, copy it from the browser address bar; in the mobile app, use the Copy Link option in the profile or Page menu. Setting a custom username replaces the default numeric URL with a short, branded link. Multi-location brands should standardize usernames across every location Page so URLs stay consistent and easy to find.

Your Facebook URL is the web address that links directly to your personal profile or business Page. You will need it to share your profile, add it to a website, or set up integrations. Finding it takes only a moment once you know where to look. This guide shows you how to find your Facebook URL on desktop and mobile, for both profiles and Pages, plus how to create a cleaner custom URL.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Facebook URL is the direct web link to your profile or Page, found in the browser address bar on desktop or in the app’s settings on mobile.
  • Personal profiles and business Pages each have a URL, and the steps to find them differ slightly.
  • A custom username turns a long, number-filled URL into a short, shareable one.
  • On mobile, the easiest way to get your URL is through the profile or Page menu’s copy link option.
  • A clean, custom Facebook URL is easier to share on business cards, websites, and marketing materials.

What Is a Facebook URL?

A Facebook URL is the unique web address that points to your profile or Page. By default it may include a string of numbers (your ID) or your name plus a number. With a custom username, it becomes short and memorable, which is ideal for sharing and branding.

There are two common formats. A default URL might look like a long link containing “profile.php” and a numeric ID. A custom URL is cleaner, ending in your chosen username.How to Find Your Facebook URL on Desktop

The desktop browser is the easiest place to grab your URL.

For a Personal Profile

  1. Open Facebook.com in your browser and log in.
  2. Click your name or profile picture to open your profile.
  3. Look at the address bar at the top of the browser. The full web address shown there is your Facebook profile URL.
  4. Highlight and copy it, or right-click and choose Copy.

For a Business Page

  1. Go to Facebook.com and switch to or open your Page.
  2. With the Page open, check the address bar for the Page’s web address.
  3. Copy the URL shown there to share or save it.

How to Find Your Facebook URL on Mobile

The mobile app hides the address bar, so you use a built-in copy option instead.

For a Personal Profile

  1. Open the Facebook app and tap your profile.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu (More) near your name.
  3. Look for Copy Link to Profile or a similar share option and tap it.
  4. The URL is now copied to your clipboard and ready to paste.

For a Business Page

  1. Open the Facebook app and go to your Page.
  2. Tap the share icon or the three-dot menu.
  3. Choose Copy Link, and the Page URL is saved to your clipboard.

How to Create a Custom Facebook URL (Username)

A custom username makes your URL short and professional. Here is how to set one.

  1. On desktop, go to your profile or Page settings.
  2. Find the Username field (sometimes shown under general or about settings).
  3. Enter a unique username, ideally your name or business name. Facebook will tell you if it is available.
  4. Save your changes. Your new URL will use this username.

A few rules to keep in mind:

  • Usernames must be unique. If your first choice is taken, try a variation.
  • Keep it on brand. For a business, use your business name so the URL is easy to recognize.
  • Changes may be limited. You may not be able to change your username frequently, so choose carefully.

When You Will Need Your Facebook URL

  • Sharing your profile or Page with customers, friends, or colleagues.
  • Adding a social link to your website, email signature, or business cards.
  • Setting up integrations with tools that connect to your Facebook presence.
  • Running marketing campaigns that point people to your Page.

How Multi-Location Brands Manage Facebook URLs at Scale

For a single profile or Page, finding a URL is a thirty-second task. For a brand with hundreds of location Pages, it is an operational problem. Most multi-location brands end up with a mix of default numeric URLs and ad hoc usernames created by whoever set up each Page. That inconsistency has real costs: location Pages become harder to link from store pages and local campaigns, harder for customers to find and share, and weaker as local visibility signals for search engines and AI platforms.

Three steps bring it under control:

  1. Audit every location Page URL. Pull the current URL for each location and flag defaults, duplicates, and off-convention usernames.
  2. Set a naming convention. A consistent pattern, such as brand name plus city or store identifier, makes every location predictable, on brand, and easy to link at scale.
  3. Keep URLs consistent everywhere they appear. Your website location pages, Google Business Profiles, and local ads should all point to the same canonical Page URL per location.

Doing this manually across hundreds of Pages does not scale. SOCi centralizes Facebook Page management for multi-location brands, so every location’s presence stays accurate, on brand, and active.

FAQ

Where is my Facebook URL on a computer?

Open your profile or Page in a browser and look at the address bar at the top. The full web address shown there is your Facebook URL, which you can highlight and copy.

How do I find my Facebook URL on the app?

Tap your profile or Page, open the three-dot menu or share icon, and choose Copy Link. The URL is then saved to your clipboard to paste anywhere.

Why does my Facebook URL have numbers in it?

Without a custom username, Facebook uses a default URL that includes your numeric ID. Setting a custom username replaces those numbers with a clean, readable link.

Can I change my Facebook URL?

Yes. You can set or change your username in your profile or Page settings, which updates your URL. Note that changes may be limited in frequency, so pick something you will keep.
