Instagram Handle Checker: questions
How does the Instagram handle checker work?
Enter a username, then open the Instagram profile link. If you see “Sorry, this page isn’t available,” the handle is likely available. PostAxis does not scrape or call Instagram’s private APIs.
Is this Instagram username checker free?
Yes — free and no signup.
Do you check availability automatically?
No. Instagram blocks automated checks. We open the real profile page so you can confirm yourself — the same method creators already use.
What characters are allowed?
Letters, numbers, periods, and underscores. No spaces. Max 30 characters. Can’t end with a period.
