Frequently Asked Questions

eltree is a link-in-bio tool and Linktree alternative that displays your content in a visual grid instead of a boring list of text links. Paste any URL and eltree auto-extracts the thumbnail, title, and platform info. Your page looks like a curated portfolio, not a phone directory. The link-in-bio is 100% free — Pro (£9/mo) adds multi social posting, scheduling, and analytics.

Visit eltree.app, sign up with your email (no credit card needed), set your display name and URL, pick a theme, and hit publish. The whole process takes under 60 seconds. Then start adding content by pasting URLs. Your visual link-in-bio page is ready to share immediately.

Your page lives at eltree.app/yourname — you choose the slug during setup. Put this link in your Instagram bio, TikTok profile, Twitter/X bio, YouTube about section, or anywhere else you share links. It is your one link for everything.

Not at all. Choose a theme, pick a font, and eltree handles the rest. Auto-extracted thumbnails and pre-designed themes mean your page looks professional without any design effort or manual image uploading.

eltree works with every social media platform. Put your eltree link in your Instagram bio, TikTok profile, Twitter/X bio, YouTube channel, LinkedIn profile, Facebook page, Pinterest, Snapchat, Threads, or any platform that allows a bio link.

Instead of a vertical list of text links, eltree shows your content in a 3x3 visual grid with thumbnails. It looks like an Instagram profile but for all your content across every platform — YouTube, TikTok, Spotify, blog posts, anything.

Paste any URL into eltree and it automatically pulls the thumbnail image, title, and platform icon. Works with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Spotify, SoundCloud, blog posts, and any website with Open Graph tags. Zero manual uploading.

Visitors can react to individual tiles on your grid with emojis — no login or account required. It makes your page interactive and shows you which content resonates most with your audience.

Stories are ephemeral content that disappears after a set time — great for announcements, promotions, or time-sensitive links. Highlights are permanent collections pinned to your page. Both work like Instagram stories but on your link-in-bio.

eltree includes 6 premium themes: Midnight (dark, elegant), Neon (bold, vibrant), Cream (clean, warm), Ocean (cool, professional), Minimal (sleek, simple), and Sunset (warm, dramatic). Plus a full custom color picker for primary, background, and text colors.

30 curated Google Fonts including Inter, Playfair Display, Poppins, Space Grotesk, Outfit, Sora, and many more. Pick the one that matches your brand personality.

It depends what you need. eltree is better if you want a visual page and free design controls — Linktree charges for themes and colours. Beacons is better if you want a store and email marketing. Carrd is better if you want full design control. Linktree itself is still the better choice if you need a custom domain, built-in email or SMS capture, or link scheduling, none of which eltree offers at any price.

Use Linktree Premium, Carrd or Bio.link if you need a custom domain. Beacons if you need a storefront or an email list. Taplink if you need bookings, enquiry forms or payments on the page. Later if you want serious Instagram scheduling with a grid-matched link page. Lnk.Bio if you would rather pay once than subscribe. Shorby if you need retargeting pixels for paid campaigns.

Create a link-in-bio page and put its single URL into your Instagram bio link field under Edit Profile. The page holds as many links as you want. Instagram does allow a small capped number of links directly in the bio field, but they render as a plain list with no thumbnails and no analytics. There is a step-by-step guide at eltree.app/link-in-bio/how-to-create-a-link-in-bio-page.

There is no export from Linktree, so it is a copy-and-paste job. Open your Linktree page, copy each destination URL, and paste them into eltree — each one becomes a tile with its thumbnail pulled in automatically, so a page of eight to ten links takes a few minutes. Build the new page fully before switching, then change the single URL in each of your social profiles. Your Linktree keeps working until you delete it.

Pages are listed once they are published and carry at least three pieces of content plus either a bio of around twenty characters or two or more linked social profiles. The same threshold decides whether search engines are allowed to index the page. A nearly empty page stays fully public and works normally — it is just kept out of the directory and out of search until there is something on it worth finding.

Yes. Unpublishing the page removes it from search, the sitemap and the directory entirely. Pages that fall below the content threshold are automatically marked noindex. Note that unpublishing is what makes a page private — a published page is public whether or not search engines index it, so do not rely on noindex to hide anything.

Yes. Go to your editor, update the slug in the Profile step, and republish. Your old URL will no longer work, so update your social media bios with the new link.

Yes. eltree uses Supabase for secure data storage with encryption in transit and at rest. We follow GDPR-compliant data handling practices. Your data is never sold or shared with third parties.
