Check a Pinterest username against Pinterest's rules: 3 to 30 characters, letters, numbers and underscores, not only numbers. Get variations and open pinterest.com/yourname to see if it's taken.

This is an interactive free tool: open [Pinterest Username Checker](https://www.fuxux.com/tools/pinterest-username-checker) in a browser to use it.

## Check a Pinterest username and profile URL

On Pinterest, your username is also your profile address: pinterest.com/yourname. Pinterest's rules: between 3 and 30 characters, letters, numbers and underscores only, no spaces or punctuation, and not made up of just numbers. This checker tests those rules and opens the pinterest.com address so you can see whether a profile already uses it.

Your username and your name are separate fields on your profile: the name is what people see first, so it can carry your full brand name with spaces, while the username stays short and easy to type in a bio link.

You can change your username later in Settings, under Edit profile. Once it's set, you can schedule Pins in Fuxux, choosing the board for each Pin, along with your other networks.

## FAQ

Letters, numbers and underscores. Spaces and punctuation such as periods or dashes aren't allowed, and the username can't be made up of only numbers.

Open Settings, choose Edit profile, scroll to Username, enter the new one and save.

Check the format here, then open the pinterest.com link. If Pinterest can't find a profile, the name may be free; Pinterest confirms it when you save the username in Edit profile.
