Free Bio Link & Digital Business Card Builder
Most social platforms allow only one link in your profile. Link-in-bio services solve that, but many lock themes, custom branding, and custom domains behind a monthly plan.
The DwellixTools Bio Link & Digital Business Card Builder runs entirely in your browser: design your page, preview it on a phone frame, then share it by link or QR code, or download a single HTML file you can host anywhere. Add custom buttons, social icon bars, media embeds, and a 1-click smartphone contact card (vCard) with zero platform subscription fees or account registration.

How to Create Your Bio Link in 5 Steps
- Set Up Your Profile: Enter your display name, headline tagline, bio summary, and avatar shape/border.
- Add Your Blocks: Insert custom destination links, social icons, video embeds, quote cards, or a tip jar.

- Share or Export: Copy your instant shareable URL, save the vector QR code, or download the standalone zero-dependency HTML file to host anywhere.
Limitations to Know
- URL Length with Large Profiles: Share links encode your data directly in the
#data=URL hash fragment. Very large profiles with many long URLs may produce long links. - In-App Browser & Shortener Compatibility: Some external apps or messaging link shorteners may truncate long hash URLs. For a permanent, short link, host the downloaded HTML file on Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages.
- Payment Redirection: The interactive tip jar does not process payments on DwellixTools servers; it calculates totals and links directly to your chosen BuyMeACoffee, Ko-fi, or PayPal.me checkout page.
- Contact Card Privacy: A saved contact card (
.vcf) contains whatever information you enter. Only include a phone number or email address that you are comfortable making public.
How to Host Your Bio Link for Free on a Custom Domain
One of the greatest advantages of downloading a standalone HTML file is that you can host it forever for free using modern static hosting providers:
Method 1: Cloudflare Pages (Recommended)
- Design your bio link in DwellixTools and click Download HTML.
- Rename the downloaded file to
index.html. - Sign in to your free Cloudflare account and navigate to Workers & Pages.
- Select Create application > Pages > Upload assets.
- Drag and drop your
index.htmlfile into the upload box and click Deploy Site. - Cloudflare instantly provides a free, lightning-fast HTTPS URL (e.g.,
yourname.pages.dev) and allows you to bind your own custom domain (e.g.,yourname.com) for free.
Method 2: GitHub Pages
- Create a new public repository on GitHub named
yourusername.github.io. - Upload your downloaded file as
index.html. - Under repository Settings > Pages, ensure the Source is set to the
mainbranch. - Your personal site is live immediately at
https://yourusername.github.io.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does this tool store my links, contact info, or uploaded avatar on a server?
No. DwellixTools operates entirely on client-side browser execution. When you upload a photo, adjust themes, or type links, all processing occurs locally inside your web browser. Your bio data never leaves your browser, and no personal data, links, or images are transmitted to or stored on DwellixTools servers.
Is my profile page indexed by Google?
Share links that use the #data= fragment are not indexable by search engine crawlers. If you want your mini-site to appear in Google search results and establish search presence for your name or brand, host the downloaded index.html file on your own domain or a static host like Cloudflare Pages.
How does the live share link work without a database?
The builder serializes and compresses your profile configuration into a Base64-encoded string stored directly in the URL fragment (#data=...). When a visitor opens the link, their browser reads the hash fragment and renders your custom page client-side. Because the data resides inside the link itself, it remains accessible without server infrastructure.
Can I connect a custom domain like myname.com?
Yes! Click the Download HTML button to export the complete, production-ready index.html file. You can upload this single file to any web host, cPanel server, Cloudflare Pages, or GitHub Pages and attach any custom domain name with zero recurring platform fees.
What is a vCard and how does the “Save Contact” button work?
A vCard (.vcf) is the universal digital business card format supported natively by Apple iOS Contacts, Google Android Contacts, Microsoft Outlook, and macOS. When visitors tap the “Save Contact” button, their smartphone prompts them to import your name, phone number, email, and website directly into their address book. Because this file is downloaded directly by visitors, only include contact details you are happy to share publicly.
Does the tip jar process credit cards on this site?
No. The tip jar widget provides a clean interface for visitors to select support amounts, but checkout occurs entirely on the official, secure servers of your chosen platform (such as BuyMeACoffee, Ko-fi, or PayPal.me). DwellixTools never touches, processes, or logs financial transactions.
Is there a limit to how many links or buttons I can add?
There is no hard limit on the number of link buttons or content blocks you can add. However, for the best user experience on mobile screens, we recommend keeping your bio link focused on 4 to 8 primary links to ensure high click-through rates.
Can I change my links after sharing the URL?
Because the shareable URL stores your data inside the link’s hash fragment, changing your links generates an updated URL. If you plan to update your links frequently on social media bios, we recommend downloading the standalone HTML file and hosting it on a free Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages URL, allowing you to update the index.html file anytime without changing your public link.
Can I re-edit my bio after downloading the HTML file?
Yes! Every standalone HTML file exported from DwellixTools includes an embedded, invisible backup of your complete design state. To edit your bio in the future, simply open the DwellixTools Bio Link Builder, click Import Backup in the top bar (or drag and drop your .html file onto the window), and the studio will immediately reload all of your links, custom images, themes, and profile settings so you can make updates and re-export without starting over.
