Link pages
Two different things are called "Links" in big. This section is about the link page (link-in-bio): one hosted page, at
itsjustbig.com/t/<handle>, that you point your Instagram bio at. It lives under Links in the main sidebar. The other Links — single short redirects at/l/<code>— live under Manage → Links and are documented in Links. The two are connected: every link button you add to a link page mints a short link behind the scenes.
A link page is a list of blocks stacked on one public page. You build it in the dashboard, pick a theme, publish it, and share one URL.
What a link page is made of
| Part | What it is |
|---|---|
| Handle | The public address: itsjustbig.com/t/<handle>. Unique across all of big. |
| Profile | Avatar, display name, and a short bio, shown above the blocks. |
| Blocks | The stacked content: link buttons, form buttons, a socials row, images, and section headers. See Blocks. |
| Theme | Background, accent colour, button shape and fill, font, avatar shape. See Theme. |
| Status | draft or published. Only a published page is reachable. See Publish and handles. |
Create one
- Open Links in the sidebar and choose New link page (editor role or higher).
- Enter a handle — this claims the address immediately. Typing a display name suggests a handle for you.
- Optionally enter a display name. Both can be changed later.
You land in the editor with three tabs:
- Build — profile fields and the block list.
- Theme — colours, fonts, button styling, background.
- Stats — page views and per-block numbers (see Link page stats).
Build and Theme share one unsaved-changes state, so switching between them keeps your edits; Stats is a real navigation and will prompt you if you have unsaved work.
Profile fields
- Display name — up to 100 characters.
- Bio — up to 300 characters.
- Avatar — picked from your Files; it must be an uploaded image that finished processing.
Limits
There is no plan cap on link pages, blocks, or views. Two technical bounds exist purely to keep a page sane: a maximum of 200 blocks, and the whole block definition must serialize to under 64 KiB. Neither is reachable by building a page by hand.
What's not there yet
- No API, CLI, or MCP coverage for building a page. Creating, listing, editing, and publishing link pages is dashboard-only today. Two things about them are readable programmatically: the short links a page mints —
GET /api/links?scope=all, since they're left out of the default list (see Links created for you) — and each page's view counts, inGET /api/stats/linksunderbioPages. Nothing maps abio_page_idback to a handle, though — read that off the page in the dashboard. - No custom domains. Every page lives under
itsjustbig.com/t/. - No per-block scheduling or expiry. A block is either visible or hidden.
Where to go next
- Blocks — the five block types and what each needs.
- Theme — every styling option.
- Publish and handles — going live, renaming, reserved words.
- Link page stats — views, clicks per block, form views.
