Portfolio Handle Checker
Your name is your brand. Check where @yourhandle is still free across the web — and claim it before someone else does. Free, no signup.
How it works
- Type the handle you want to use across the web.
- We check GitHub live and link you to every other platform to confirm.
- Claim your handle as a portfolio URL before someone else does.
Why claim your handle early
A handle is first-come, first-served, and the good ones go fast. Locking in the same name across GitHub, your socials and your portfolio URL makes you instantly findable and consistent — recruiters and clients can guess where to find you. Leave it too long and you're stuck with a scrambled username on the platform that matters most, or paying someone to hand it back. A two-minute check now saves that headache later.

FAQ
How does the handle checker work?
Type the handle you want and the tool checks GitHub live via its public API — a 404 means the username is free, a match means it's taken. For platforms that don't allow automated checks (LinkedIn, X, Instagram and others), it gives you a one-tap link to check each yourself, rather than guessing.
Why can't it auto-check LinkedIn, X or Instagram?
Those sites block automated username lookups from the browser, both technically (CORS) and in their terms of service. Rather than show you a fake “available” badge, we link you straight to each profile URL so you can confirm in a click — honestly.
Why does a consistent handle matter?
Using the same handle everywhere makes you easy to find and remember, and it stops someone else from claiming your name on a platform you'll want later. It's the difference between “I'm @jordanrivera everywhere” and a different scrambled username on each site.
What if my handle is already taken?
Try a short, professional variation — add your field or an initial. The LinkedIn Custom URL Generator can generate clean alternatives, and you can still claim your preferred name as a Vibe Resume portfolio URL.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free with no signup to check. You can optionally claim your handle as a portfolio URL on Vibe Resume.
