How to move your Linktree, Beacons and Instagram to craving
Move your Linktree, Beacons or any link in bio to craving in minutes, and learn when to connect an account instead, so everything comes over, not just links.

Short answer
You can move your link in bio to craving in a few minutes. Open Quick start on your craving Home, paste your Linktree, Beacons or any link-in-bio address, and your links, socials, photo and bio land on your Home. Some things are better connected than linked: connect Linktree or Beacons to bring the links you locked there, and, where Your Feed is open to you, connect an Instagram professional account to bring your posts, not just a button to them.
- Quick start is one page that lists every place you can bring things from, and what each brings.
- Paste a Linktree or any link-in-bio address: links, socials, photo and bio come over, and nothing on your Home is replaced.
- A link only sends people away. A connected account brings what it holds, such as the links you locked on Linktree.
- Beacons pages and locked Linktree links come over when you connect the account.
- Importing is free on every plan, Free included.
What can you import into craving?
You can import your link-in-bio page, your posts, your socials and your files. Everything starts on Quick start, a page on your craving Home that names each source and what it brings. You do not need to rebuild anything by hand.
| Source | How | What comes over |
|---|---|---|
| Linktree | Paste your address, or connect your account | Links and their groups, thumbnails, players, socials, email and phone, photo, name and bio |
| Beacons | Connect your account | The same, read from your account |
| Any other link-in-bio page | Paste your address | Links, socials, photo, name and bio |
| Connect a professional account | Your posts, in Your Feed, where it is open to you | |
| X, TikTok, YouTube and other socials | Add them, or connect them | Shown on your Home; craving AI learns from them |
| Dropbox and Google Drive | Upload from your Library | Your files, ready to share for free or sell |
When is it better to connect an account than to paste a link?
A pasted address reads what anyone can see. A connected account reads what you can see. That difference decides what comes over.
- Instagram: as a link, Instagram is one button that sends people away. Where Your Feed is open to you, a connected account brings your posts into it, so Visitors stay with you.
- Linktree: a pasted address brings everything public. Links you locked with a code, an age check or a subscription stay hidden, because Linktree does not show where they go. Connect Linktree and those come over too.
- Beacons: craving reads Beacons pages through your account, so connect Beacons instead of pasting the address.
You do not have to remember any of this. When you import a page, craving looks at its links. If it links to an account that brings more when connected, the preview says so, and after the import you can connect each one, or turn its import on, in one tap.
How do you import your Linktree or Beacons page?
- Build your Home if you have not yet, then open Your Home.
- Choose Import what you have to open Quick start. New Residents see the same button on their welcome screen.
- Next to Linktree, Beacons or any page, choose Import.
- Paste your address, such as linktr.ee/yourname, and choose Read page. For Beacons, choose Connect Beacons and sign in there.
- Check the preview: it lists what comes over and anything that stays behind, with the reason.
- Choose Import. Then connect the accounts the preview suggests, or choose Done.
The import adds sections after what your Home already shows. It never replaces your sections, and it fills your name and bio only where they are empty.
What comes over, and what stays behind?
- Links and groups become sections of your Home, with their thumbnails as covers.
- Video and music players play on your Home. A player that follows a whole channel needs the Go plan; below Go it comes over as a link.
- Social icons become your socials, shared by all your Homes.
- Email and phone go into a Contact section.
- Your photo is saved as a portrait, and becomes your Home portrait when it has none.
- An email signup form becomes a Subscribe section on the Go plan. Below Go it is skipped, and the preview says so first.
- Tip links come over as links. To take tips on craving itself, set up payments.
- Colors and fonts stay craving’s. Pick a theme in your Home settings instead.
How do you bring your Instagram posts to craving?
Connect your Instagram professional account. Quick start lists Instagram once Your Feed is open to your account: choose Connect next to it and sign in with Instagram. Instagram only lets apps read professional accounts, business or creator, so switch your account first if it is personal.
Once connected, your posts come over to your feed on craving, and new posts follow on their own. Add a Feed section to your Home and Visitors can swipe through your posts without leaving it. You decide per post whether Visitors see it, and you can switch the import off at any time.
What should you do after the import?
- Check the order. Reorder sections so the most important link is first.
- Publish your Home and swap the link in your bios for craving.com/@yourname.
- Add your other socials so they show on your Home and craving AI learns how you talk.
- Upload your files to the Library, from your device, Dropbox or Google Drive.
- Turn on Tips, then add Bookings, Memberships or Personal Requests when you are ready.
Alter, your personal AI on craving, then answers Visitors on your Home while you are away, on every plan. For how a craving Home compares with a plain list of links, read craving vs Linktree.
Is it safe to connect your accounts?
You sign in on the other service’s own page, never on craving. For Linktree and Beacons, craving reads your page once and does not keep the access. Instagram stays connected so new posts can follow; you can disconnect it from Socials whenever you like.
Connecting a social also proves the account is yours, so it shows as verified on your Home.
