Turn your Instagram into a website.
To turn an Instagram account into a website, use a builder that reads your public profile. In Ember, you paste your handle or profile link; Ember imports your name, bio, category, profile link and recent photos (carousels included), then builds a multi-page site around them that you edit by chatting. Your profile must be public, because Ember only reads what anyone can see.
You can build and preview a site for free with 150 starter credits; publishing it to the web needs a paid plan, from $9 a month (pricing).
How to turn your Instagram into a website with Ember
- Open the Instagram import starter and paste your handle, such as @yourbusiness, or your profile link.
- Create a free Ember account. Ember reads your public profile and downloads your profile picture and recent posts into your new site.
- Ember picks a design that suits your work, whether that is a bakery, a photographer's portfolio or a salon, and builds the pages.
- Tell Ember what Instagram doesn't know: your services and prices, booking details, your story, the questions customers always ask.
- Publish on a paid plan, connect your domain, and put the new address in your Instagram bio.
What Ember brings over from Instagram
- Your display name, bio and category.
- The link in your bio.
- Your profile picture.
- Recent still photos from your posts, with carousels expanded. Videos are not imported.
Photos are saved into your site, so they keep working even if you delete or archive the post. Ember does not keep your site in sync with new posts; ask it to add new work whenever you like.
Why move beyond a link-in-bio page
A link-in-bio page is a list of buttons. A website can explain what you offer, show prices, collect enquiries through a contact form, and appear in Google and AI assistant answers when someone searches for what you do. People who don't use Instagram can find you too.
Ember sites are real multi-page websites with their own address. You can add a contact form that delivers to Ember's inbox and notifies you by email, a gallery or portfolio, a blog, or a password-protected page for clients.
Frequently asked questions
Does my Instagram account need to be public?
Yes. Ember reads the same public profile anyone can see. It never asks for your Instagram password. If your account is private, upload your photos to Ember directly instead.
How many photos does Ember import?
Your profile picture and a selection of your most recent still photos, with carousels expanded. You can upload more photos at any time.
Will new posts appear on my website automatically?
No. Ember builds a static site that is fast and dependable. Ask Ember to add your latest work when you want the site updated.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Every paid plan includes a custom domain. Connect one you own or buy a new one inside Ember.
What does it cost?
Building and previewing is free with 150 starter credits. Publishing needs a paid plan, which starts at $9 a month.
