Here are a couple of things to know about usernames on Scratch:

  • Scratchers can't change their own usernames
  • The Scratch Team can, in very rare circumstances, offer username changes. This is not typical.


Here a couple of common reasons people reach out for a username change that do not qualify for a change:

  • You don't like your username
  • You've misspelled something in your username


If you don't qualify for a username change, you're welcome to create a new account with your preferred username. We know it can be frustrating to lose your followers or the loves/favorites on your projects when you create a new account, but you can always leave comments on your old account letting your friends know where to find you.


If you think you might qualify for a username change, you can reach out to us with your request through the Contact Us form.
