Pixieset Website allows you to create a Bio Links page where you can centralize all of the important links for your business. This page is optimized for easy sharing within your Instagram Bio, social platforms or anywhere! If you don’t currently use Pixieset for your website, you can still create a Bio Links page for free. This process involves creating a Pixieset Website that uses Bio Links as a standalone page. If you’re already using Pixieset Website, you can find our main Bio Links Guide here.

If you haven’t already, you’ll need to visit the Pixieset Website dashboard to get started. You can then select a theme which will load the website editor with sample content. Read more about getting started with Pixieset Website here.
