Username Availability Checker
Check whether a username is available on social networks, gaming platforms and developer sites in one search. Free, with no account needed.
Check Username Availability Across Every Platform That Matters
A great brand lives or dies on consistency. When your handle is @yourname on Instagram but @yourname_official on TikTok and @real-yourname on YouTube, every mismatch costs you followers, makes impersonation easier, and makes your project look smaller than it is. The fix is simple: before you commit to a name, check it everywhere at once — then register it everywhere that matters, even on platforms you won't use yet.
Our checker looks up your name on 70+ platforms, including social networks like Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter), Facebook and Snapchat; video platforms like YouTube and Twitch; developer sites like GitHub and npm; music platforms like Spotify and SoundCloud; gaming services including Steam and Roblox; professional networks; and blogging platforms. Every result links to the profile page, and names that look free also get a Register link to the platform's own site. Domains are checked separately with the bulk checker.
How to Use the Results
- Free everywhere? Move fast — check the matching domain with the bulk checker, then register the handles you'll actively use.
- Taken in one or two places? Consider a consistent variation across ALL platforms rather than different names on each. Consistency beats perfection. If someone else holds the name, what to do when someone took your username covers your options.
- Taken everywhere? The name is probably too generic to own. Try our AI name generator to create brandable alternatives, or compare a whole shortlist at once with the bulk checker.
- Building a serious brand? An available name is not automatically a safe name — read our guide on usernames and trademarks before you invest in it.
Why Check Before You Build?
Renaming an established account means losing search results, breaking old mentions and printed links, and confusing the audience you worked hard to earn. Checking takes ten seconds; rebranding takes months. If you're still deciding what to call yourself, our guide on choosing a username that lasts walks through the exact checklist we recommend.
Platform Rules and Guides
A name that is free can still be invalid on a platform. Length limits and allowed characters differ, so read username character rules by platform before you settle on a handle. We also have platform-specific guides for Discord, Twitch, Instagram and TikTok, and a guide to changing your username without losing your audience.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the username availability checker work?
Type a name and we request the public profile page for that handle on each supported platform — social networks, gaming services, developer sites, music and video platforms — and read the response. A missing profile usually means the name is free; a live profile means it is taken. Domains are not part of this search; use the bulk checker for those.
Is the username checker free?
Yes. Checking usernames on 360username is free, with no account or signup required. The site is supported by advertising.
Does checking a username reserve it?
No. A search only looks a name up — it never registers or holds it. Popular names get claimed fast, so if a name is free on a platform you care about, register it there right away using the Register link in the results.
Why does a username show as taken when the profile looks empty?
Many platforms keep deleted, banned, or reserved usernames locked for months or even permanently, so an empty-looking profile can still be taken. The reverse also happens: a reserved or banned name often has no public profile, so it can look free here and still be refused at signup.
What should I do if my username is taken on one platform?
First decide how important that platform is for your audience. If it matters, try a consistent variation — adding a short word like HQ, app, or your craft — and re-check it everywhere so your brand stays uniform. Our name generator can suggest variations for you to check.
Can I check many usernames or domains at once?
Yes. Use the bulk checker to paste a list of up to 50 names and look them up as usernames or as domains in one run — useful for brainstorming sessions and client work.
