The honest truth up front: Linktree does not give you a clean export of your links. Pro plans can export performance data (your click analytics) to a CSV, but that is your stats, not your actual list of links and destinations. There is no "download all my links as a file" option in the dashboard. So before you cancel, you have to get your links out yourself, and if you cancel first you may lose easy access to the page that holds them. This guide covers the four real ways to extract every link, in order from easiest to most thorough, and then how to move them into a new tool without retyping a single URL.
We make Shelfy, a free link tool, and yes, we would like you to land here. But the export steps below work no matter where you go next, so we wrote them to be useful even if you pick a different tool. Where a step is specific to moving into Shelfy, we say so.
Before You Start: Do Not Cancel First
The mistake people make is cancelling the subscription, then realizing the links are stranded behind a downgraded or closed page. Export everything while your page is still fully live. Cancelling is the last step, not the first.
Here is the correct order:
- Export your links (this guide).
- Set up and test your new page.
- Update the link in your Instagram, TikTok, and other bios.
- Only then, cancel Linktree.
Method 1: Copy Directly From Your Live Page (Fastest)
For most people with a handful of links, this is the quickest path and needs no tools.
- Open your public Linktree page in a browser, for example
https://linktr.ee/yourname. - Click each link to confirm where it actually points (the visible label often differs from the real destination URL).
- Right-click each button and choose Copy link address to grab the true destination.
- Paste each one into a notes doc or spreadsheet, one URL per line, with its label next to it.
This gives you a clean list you can paste straight into a new tool. For 5 to 15 links it takes a couple of minutes.
Method 2: View Page Source (Catches Everything)
If you have many links, or links buried in sections and dropdowns, the page source has all of them in one place.
- Open your Linktree page in a desktop browser.
- Right-click anywhere and choose View Page Source, or press Ctrl+U (Cmd+Option+U on Mac).
- Use Ctrl+F to search the source for
http. - Copy out the destination URLs. You will see your real link targets listed in the page data.
This is the most reliable way to make sure you do not miss a link. It looks technical but it is just reading a text page and copying the URLs you recognize.
