The fastest way to share your Discord profile

To share your Discord profile, right-click your username anywhere in Discord and select Copy User ID. Then give someone the link discord.com/users/[your ID number] — they can open it in a browser without needing Discord installed, and they'll see your username, avatar, and any public information you've set.

If you want to share your profile with someone already in Discord, you can also type @YourUsername in a message and they can click your name to view your full profile card. The browser link method works better for sharing outside Discord — in emails, on websites, or in documents — because it doesn't require the other person to have the app open.

Key Takeaways

  • Right-click your username in Discord, select Copy User ID, then format it as discord.com/users/[ID] to create a shareable profile link.
  • Browser links to your profile work for anyone with or without a Discord account, making them ideal for sharing outside the app.
  • Your profile visibility depends on your privacy settings — check User Settings > Privacy & Safety to control who can see your profile and message you.
  • You can also share your profile by mentioning yourself with @YourUsername in any Discord message, which creates a clickable profile card.

Finding and copying your user ID

Your user ID is a unique number Discord assigns to every account. To find it, open Discord and right-click on your own username anywhere in the app — in the user list, in a message you sent, or in your profile. A menu will appear with the option Copy User ID. Click it, and the number is copied to your clipboard.

If you're on mobile, press and hold your username instead of right-clicking. The same menu appears with the copy option. Once you have the ID, you can paste it into the profile link format: discord.com/users/[paste your ID here]. This link works in any browser and doesn't require the person opening it to have Discord installed.

Sharing your profile link outside Discord

The browser link method is the best choice when you're sharing your profile in places Discord doesn't reach — emails, social media bios, websites, or documents. Anyone who clicks the link sees your Discord profile page with your username, avatar, and any public information you've chosen to display. They don't need a Discord account to view it.

You can also add your Discord profile link to your social media bios, website footer, or email signature. This is common for content creators, streamers, and community managers who want people to find their Discord server or connect with them directly. The link is permanent as long as your account exists, so you can share it as many times as you want without it expiring or breaking.

Controlling what shows on your profile

Before sharing your profile widely, check what information is visible to others. Open Discord, go to User Settings (the gear icon next to your username), then select Privacy & Safety. Here you can control whether people can see your friend list, what servers you're in, and whether they can message you directly.

By default, most of this information is hidden from people who aren't your friends. Your username and avatar are always visible on your profile link, but you can hide your mutual friends, your server list, and your activity status. If you're sharing your profile publicly, review these settings first — especially if you want to keep your server memberships private or limit who can contact you.

Sharing your profile within Discord

If you're sharing your profile with someone who already uses Discord, you don't need to use the browser link. Simply type @YourUsername in any message, and Discord will create a mention. When the other person clicks your name, they see your profile card with your avatar, username, mutual friends, and mutual servers. This is faster for quick shares within the app.

You can also share your profile by inviting people to a server you run or moderate. When they join, they can click your name in the member list to view your profile. This method is useful if you're building a community and want people to know who the moderators or leaders are.

Why someone might not see your full profile

If someone clicks your profile link and sees limited information, it's usually because of your privacy settings. If you've restricted who can see your profile, only your friends or people in mutual servers will see full details. People outside those groups might see only your username and avatar.

Another reason is if your account is new or has been flagged by Discord's safety systems. New accounts sometimes have reduced visibility until they've been active for a while. If you think your profile visibility is restricted incorrectly, check User Settings > Privacy & Safety again, or contact Discord Support through the app's help menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I create a custom Discord profile link instead of using my user ID?

Discord doesn't offer custom profile URLs like some other platforms do. Your profile link is always based on your user ID number. However, you can change your username (the name people see) as often as you want — just not your underlying ID. The link stays the same even if you change your username.

What if someone I don't know clicks my profile link?

They'll see your public profile information — your username, avatar, and whatever you've chosen to display in your privacy settings. They won't be able to message you unless you've allowed it in your privacy settings, and they can't see your friend list or servers unless you're mutual friends or in the same server.

Does sharing my profile link let someone hack my account?

No. Your profile link is public information and sharing it is safe. Your user ID is not a password or security credential — it's just a number that identifies you. Your account security depends on your password and two-factor authentication, not on who knows your ID.

Can I share my profile link on my website or social media?

Yes. The browser link format works anywhere — websites, Instagram bios, Twitter, email signatures, and anywhere else you can paste a URL. People can click it from any device and see your Discord profile without needing the app.
