Instagram username checker
See whether the handle is free on Instagram, and everywhere else, in one search.
Checked alongside your domain and every other platform.
The rules
- Up to 30 characters.
- Letters, numbers, full stops and underscores only — no spaces, no hyphens.
- Case doesn't matter: @WhisperLook and @whisperlook are the same handle.
How we check it
We request the public profile page and read what comes back. A real 404 means nothing is using the handle.
Instagram is the strictest of the big platforms about automated requests, so it often answers with a login wall instead of a page. When that happens we report Unknown rather than guess, and hand you the link.
Threads comes with it
A Threads handle is an Instagram handle. Claiming one takes the other, so check them together — we do.
Dots are cheap, and cost you
whisper.look is technically free more often than whisperlook. It is also harder to say out loud, harder to type, and easier to lose to a typo.
