Quick Steps

  2. Copy your User ID.
  3. Replace "USERID" with your User ID in https://discordapp.com/users/USERID .

  1. You can enable it by clicking the Gear/Settings icon in Discord . Then go to Advanced > Developer Mode in the mobile or desktop app. Make sure the toggle switch next to "Developer Mode" is turned on.
    • The Gear/Settings icon is in the lower-left corner next to your username on the desktop application. On mobile, tap your profile icon in the lower-right corner and then tap the Gear icon in the upper-right corner.
    • This method can come in handy if you want to link to your Discord profile on a website, message board, social media profile, or even in your email signature. However, it's not the easiest way to share your Discord profile, which is to share your username instead.
    • You can use this method on any device, including on your Android, iPhone, or iPad.
  2. Your User ID is a string of numbers that identifies you on Discord. To find your User ID, use the following steps:
    • Desktop: Click your profile picture and click Copy User ID .
    • Mobile: Locate a message you've sent in a server or DM and tap your profile picture. Tap ••• in the upper-right corner, and then tap Copy User ID to copy your user ID to your clipboard.

  3. Your Discord profile link follows this format: https://discordapp.com/users/USERID . All you'll need to do is replace USERID with the user ID you copied to your clipboard. For example, {{kbd|https://discordapp.com/users/my_unique_user_ID.
    • If that link doesn't work, try https://discord.com/users/USERID where your User ID replaces "USERID."
    • Anyone can visit this site using the browser on their smartphone, tablet, or computer.
