About Social Handle Extractor
The Social Handle Extractor allows digital marketers and researchers to pull social media profile links from mixed content. Instead of clicking through pages to find the “Follow Us” links, you can paste the source code or text content here to instantly retrieve all Instagram, Twitter (X), Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn profile URLs.
Example
Input Text:
“Welcome to our site. Check out our photos at https://instagram.com/pijushsaha or follow updates on https://x.com/tech_news. Connect on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/profile-name.”
Output:
https://instagram.com/pijushsaha
https://linkedin.com/in/profile-name
https://x.com/tech_news
How to use it
- Step 1: Paste text, HTML code, or a document snippet into the input box.
- Step 2: Ensure “Clean URL Parameters” is checked to remove tracking codes (like
?s=20). - Step 3: Click “Extract Profiles.”
- Step 4: Copy the list of clean social media links.
Who needs it?
This tool is essential for Influencer Marketing Agencies building lists of creators, Social Media Managers auditing brand mentions, and OSINT Researchers gathering digital footprints. It specifically targets major platforms, unlike the generic URL Extractor which pulls every link found.
Why use this tool?
Social links often come buried in HTML footer code or cluttered with tracking parameters. This tool filters out the noise. Once you have the handles, you might want to separate the usernames using the Extract Column or Split Text tools (splitting by “/”). If you are creating new handles for a brand, check availability manually or brainstorm new ones with the Brand Name Generator.
