TikTok Username Rules

Before choosing your TikTok username, keep these rules in mind:

• Length: 2 to 24 characters
• Allowed characters: Letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), periods (.), and underscores (_)
• No spaces or special characters: Hyphens, symbols, and spaces are not allowed
• Period placement: Username cannot start with a period
• Case insensitive: @JohnDoe and @johndoe are considered the same username

Our checker automatically validates your input against these rules, so you'll know right away if something needs to be fixed.

Tips for Choosing a Great TikTok Username

• Keep it short: Shorter usernames are easier to remember and share
• Be consistent: Try to use the same username across all social platforms
• Make it memorable: Choose something catchy that reflects your content style
• Avoid numbers if possible: Unless they're meaningful to your brand
• Think about searchability: Consider how fans will find you
