Tap Bio closes on 31 October 2026 — here is how to move your page before it goes
Tap Bio announced its closure in April 2026 and set the last day at 31 October 2026. On that date the pages go offline and the accounts close, and no export tool was promised — so whatever lives only inside your cards has to come out by hand. This page is the move itself, in order: what to copy, how to get it into a new page in one paste, and everywhere the old link needs replacing. If you are still deciding where to go, read the comparison first; if you have decided, start at step one.
Paste your links as a list — no retyping, one at a time
Free plan: 10 links, 11 templates, QR codes, 30-day analytics
Done in an afternoon, not on 30 October
What actually happens on 31 October
Three things, and only the first is obvious. The pages stop resolving, so every tap.bio link you have ever published — in a bio, a caption, an email footer, a printed card — becomes an error. The accounts close, so the dashboard you would copy from is gone too. And no export tool was promised, so there is no file to download on the last day.
Your tap.bio address stops working; nothing redirects it anywhere.
The dashboard closes with the service, so copy before the deadline, not on it.
New sign-ups were restricted right after the April announcement.
Anything you only ever wrote inside a card — a bio line, a description — exists nowhere else.
Step 1 — get your cards out, today
Open your Tap Bio dashboard and work through the cards one at a time. You are collecting two things: the links, and the words around them. A plain text file and a handful of screenshots is enough, and it is the part that cannot be automated because there is no export.
For each card, write one line per link: the button label, then the URL.
Screenshot each card so you keep the wording and the order.
Download your profile photo and any card images at full size while the page still loads.
Note which card people actually reached, if your per-card stats still show it — that decides the order on the new page.
Step 2 — paste the whole list in at once
This is the part that surprises people. Linkhiver's link importer takes a pasted list — one link per line, as "Label — https://…" or just bare URLs — parses it, and shows you every link it found with a checkbox. Tick what you want and they are added. It is the same importer that pulls a Linktree page in automatically; for Tap Bio you feed it the list you made in step 1 instead of a handle.
Paste "Label — https://example.com" lines, or plain URLs, or a mix.
You review and select before anything is created; nothing is added behind your back.
It runs during onboarding and again later from the links screen, so a second batch is not a problem.
The free plan holds 10 links, so pick the ten that earn their place — the rest can wait for Pro or for a short link.
Step 3 — rebuild the card shape
Linkhiver is one scrollable page rather than a swipeable carousel, and there is no point pretending otherwise. In practice each Tap Bio card becomes a titled group of links: the card's headline becomes the heading, its links become the buttons under it. Same content, one screen instead of several.
Card headline → section heading. Card links → the buttons beneath it.
Put the card people reached most at the top; a scroll costs more than a swipe did.
Pick one of the 11 free templates and match your colours to the old page.
Add a business card if your Tap Bio was doing contact duty — the card page, the .vcf download and its QR are free.
Step 4 — replace the link everywhere before the deadline
This is the step people leave until it is too late, and it is the one with a hard date on it. After 31 October every unreplaced tap.bio link is a dead end for someone who was trying to reach you.
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X and LinkedIn bios — all of them, not the busiest one.
Email signature, newsletter footer, invoice template, order confirmation.
Anything printed: cards, flyers, menus, stickers, van livery. Regenerate the QR code from the new page.
Pinned posts and video descriptions, which keep sending traffic long after they were published.
What it costs to land here
Nothing, for the move itself. The free plan is permanent, needs no card details, and covers what a Tap Bio page was doing for most people.
Free: 10 links, 11 templates, QR codes, 10 short links, 2 business cards, 30-day analytics history.
Pro adds 50 links, your own domain and wallet passes — $6 a month or $45 a year, and nothing forces it.
Seven interface languages, so the page works for the audience you already have.
Frequently asked questions
When exactly does Tap Bio shut down?
31 October 2026. The closure was announced in April 2026; on that date the pages go offline and accounts are closed. Tap Bio gave no reason, and new sign-ups were restricted right after the announcement.
Can I export my Tap Bio content automatically?
No export tool was promised, so plan on copying it out by hand: one line per link, plus a screenshot of each card. That sounds worse than it is — the copying is the slow part, and Linkhiver's importer takes the finished list in a single paste.
Does Linkhiver import from Tap Bio directly?
Not by fetching a tap.bio page — the automatic fetch only reads Linktree. What works for Tap Bio is the paste path: you paste the list of links you copied out, Linkhiver parses it, and you tick the ones to keep. Same importer, same review step, one extra copy-and-paste.
Can I keep the swipeable cards?
No, and it is the one thing that does not carry over. Linkhiver is a single scrollable page. Each card becomes a titled group of links, which holds the same content in a different shape — worth knowing before you move rather than after.
What happens to my tap.bio link after the shutdown?
It stops resolving and nothing redirects it. Anyone following it from an old post, an email or a printed card reaches an error, which is why replacing the link everywhere is a step of the move rather than a tidy-up afterwards.
