Move your Bento page to Folio

The short answer.

Bento shut down on February 13, 2026 and deleted all profiles, so there's nothing to import. The move is: recover your old content from the Wayback Machine, claim a free folio.link handle, rebuild your grid block by block and swap the link in your bios. For most people the whole thing takes about ten minutes.

What you're dealing with.

When Linktree switched Bento off, there was no export and no grace period for your page. Every bento.me address now redirects to Linktree's homepage, still the case when we re-checked on August 17, 2026, which means anyone tapping your old bio link lands on a signup page for a product you never chose. The sooner you swap the link everywhere, the fewer clients hit that dead end. The full story is on our Bento alternative page.

First, get your old content back.

Your page is deleted, but the Internet Archive almost certainly photographed it. Go to web.archive.org and search for bento.me/yourhandle. Open the most recent snapshot and you're looking at your old page: every link, every image, your bio text, the lot. Keep that tab open while you rebuild. If the snapshot is missing images, try an earlier capture, the archive often has several.

The move, step by step.

1. 1

   Claim your handle

   Grab folio.link/yourname on the homepage. Ten seconds, no credit card. If you can, keep the same handle you had on Bento so old mentions still make sense.

2. 2

   Set up your profile

   Name, a one-line bio and your avatar. This is what a client sees first, so use the same photo you use on the platforms clients find you on.

3. 3

   Rebuild your work blocks

   Add portfolio blocks for your best projects, images or video. Work from your Wayback snapshot so you don't forget anything. Three to six strong pieces beat fifteen average ones.

4. 4

   Add your links and socials

   Links pull their own titles and icons, so pasting a URL is usually enough. Add the socials where you're actually active rather than every account you've ever made.

5. 5

   Add Pay-Me

   The part Bento never built. Put your payment details, like bank, PayPal or Wise, behind a password. Give the password to a client when it's time to pay and they see exactly how. Folio never touches the money.

6. 6

   Arrange the grid

   Drag blocks until the page reads the way you want: work first, then contact, then everything else. The grid does the design work for you.

7. 7

   Swap the link everywhere

   Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, your email signature and anywhere else your bento.me link still lives. This is the step that stops clients landing on Linktree's homepage.

What you can't bring over.

Two things are genuinely gone: your view stats from Bento and the bento.me URL itself. There's no way to redirect the old link since Linktree controls that domain now. Folio counts views from day one on your new page, so you start fresh but you start measured.
