Tap Bio is closing on 31 October 2026: where to move your page
Tap Bio announced in April 2026 that it will close on 31 October 2026. After that date the pages go offline and the accounts close, and no export tool was promised — so anything that exists only inside your cards has to be copied out by hand before the deadline. This page is about doing that once, properly, rather than on the last afternoon.
Quick answer
Tap Bio shuts down on 31 October 2026, taking its pages and accounts with it, and has promised no export tool. Linkhiver is a free alternative to move to: 10 links, 11 templates, QR codes and 365-day analytics at $0, with Pro at $6/month (as of August 2026).
Summary
- Tap Bio announced the closure in April 2026 and set the last day at 31 October 2026 — after that, pages go offline and accounts are closed.
- New sign-ups were restricted right after the announcement, and no export tool was promised: copy your card text, links and images out yourself while you still can.
- Linkhiver does the same job free — 10 links, 11 templates, QR codes and 365-day analytics at $0 — though it is one scrollable page rather than Tap Bio's swipeable cards.
Feature-by-feature comparison
| Feature | Linkhiver | Tap Bio |
|---|---|---|
| Working after 31 October 2026 | Nothing scheduled to change | Closure announced April 2026 — pages go offline, accounts close |
| Your page link keeps resolving | linkhiver.com/yourname stays yours | tap.bio links stop working after the shutdown date |
| Accepting new sign-ups | Open, no card required | Restricted right after the shutdown announcement |
| Free plan you can start today | 10 links, 11 templates, embeds from 9 platforms | Whatever tier you are on ends with the service |
| Swipeable card layout | One scrollable page instead — a different shape, same content | Tap Bio's signature format: cards you swipe, closer to Stories than a link list |
| Analytics history | 365-day history on the free plan | Per-card stats, ending with the service |
| Custom domain | Included with Pro, $6/month | Supported, but the page behind it goes offline on 31 October |
The closure date comes from Tap Bio's own announcement as reported in April 2026, re-checked on August 26, 2026; tap.bio publishes no notice we could quote directly, so check your own dashboard for the current wording.
What Tap Bio got right
Worth saying plainly, because the format is the part people will miss:
- The swipeable card layout was genuinely different — a Stories-like carousel rather than a stack of buttons — and nothing here reproduces it exactly.
- Per-card stats showed which card people actually reached, not only which link they tapped.
- It was quick to set up, which is why many people never needed anything more from it.
Why Linkhiver is a reasonable place to land
If you are rebuilding anyway, these are the parts that matter:
- The free plan is permanent and needs no card: 10 links, 11 templates, embeds from 9 platforms, QR codes and a URL shortener.
- 365-day analytics history on the free plan, so a year of click data accumulates instead of resetting.
- Seven interface languages — English, French, German, Russian, Turkish, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese — and Pro adds a custom domain at $6/month.
Moving off Tap Bio before 31 October
- Open your Tap Bio dashboard today and copy the text, links and images out of every card. No export tool was promised, so this part is manual — screenshots plus a plain text file are enough.
- Create your free Linkhiver page and claim your username.
- Rebuild each card as a titled group of links on the new page: the card headline becomes the heading, its links become the buttons under it.
- Pick one of the 11 free templates, match your colours, and regenerate the QR code if you had one on print.
- Swap the link in your Instagram, TikTok and YouTube bios well before 31 October — the old link stops resolving that day.
Frequently asked questions
When exactly does Tap Bio shut down?
31 October 2026. Tap Bio announced the closure in April 2026; on that date the pages go offline and accounts are closed. It did not give a reason.
Can I export my Tap Bio content?
The announcement promised no export tool. Copy the text and links out of each card by hand and save your images before the deadline — screenshots are a reasonable backup.
What happens to my tap.bio link?
It stops resolving after the shutdown. Anyone following it from an old post or a printed card hits an error, so update your bios and any printed material before 31 October.
Is Linkhiver really free?
Yes — the free plan is permanent: 10 links, 11 templates, embeds, QR codes, 365-day analytics, a URL shortener and an email signup block. Pro is $6/month or $45/year.
Can I rebuild Tap Bio's swipeable cards?
Not exactly. Linkhiver is one scrollable page rather than a card carousel. In practice each card becomes a titled group of links, which carries the same content in a different shape.
Does Linkhiver work in my language?
The interface and your page work in seven languages: English, French, German, Russian, Turkish, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
