Crafting a Linktree that’s functional and visually appealing helps you present a consistent brand across every platform. This article walks you through how to customize your Linktree's design to match your brand’s color palette or your personal style.
Why design matters
Your Linktree is a digital entry point to your online presence. Its design should feel inviting and align with your brand or personality, creating a seamless journey from your social platforms to your Linktree—and back.
Brand consistency: A cohesive design builds trust and reinforces your identity.
Engagement: A well-designed Linktree helps guide your visitors to the content they care about most.

Update your profile picture, title & description
Upload a profile picture that resonates with your brand or persona.
Craft a clear and concise title and description that informs visitors what to expect.
Choose a theme or custom background
For a quick design fix, selecting a preset theme is a good option. However, for a more tailored appearance, we recommend opting for a custom appearance. When setting up a custom appearance, there are four elements to design.
Custom Background
Free users can select a specific background color. Users on our Pro plan and above can also upload an image or video that aligns with their brand's aesthetic.
Check out our custom background recommendations:
Make sure to download a color picker app and copy the same code directly from your website. This level of consistency will build trust with your audience. If you don’t have a website or brand colors, choose the colors that represent your identity well.
Don’t use random colors that are just similar to your website or have bad accessibility.
Button shape
Select a button shape that complements your design theme and brand personality!
For a more modern and playful vibe opt for rounded shapes.
For a classic and elegant feeling opt for rectangle shapes.
Button color and font color
Pick colors that ensure readability and consistency with your brand palette.
Font choice & color
Choose a font style and color for the text outside the buttons that align with your brand or persona's vibes.
