Five content types. And when to use which.
On udots you don’t post “a link”, you post the content that fits: a link leads away, an image shows, a statement says, a music release bundles every streaming service, a blog post explains. All five land in the same feed — here you see each one for real.

One destination, one tap.
Link
The classic: title, URL, optionally a thumbnail. For everything that lives elsewhere — shop, tickets, contact form, portfolio.
- A thumbnail instead of an icon makes important links stand out.
- If the target is YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify or Twitch, the player is embedded right there.
- Every tap is counted — without cookies.
Up to ten images in one card.
Image & carousel
A single image with a caption — or several as a carousel visitors swipe through. Free for everyone.
- The first image is the cover and shows up in the feed, previews and social cards.
- The aspect ratio is set by the first image and inherited by the rest — no layout jumps.
- Pro users post the same carousel straight to Instagram.
One sentence that lands.
Statement
Short text, no link, no image required. For announcements, opinions, work in progress — the things that drown in the noise elsewhere.
- 200 characters max — brevity is the format.
- Set as a pull quote in the feed, in the serif face.
- Likes and comments are supported.
One song, every platform.
Music release
Cover, title, artist — and a row of platform icons below. Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, Beatport, Bandcamp, Deezer, Tidal, YouTube Music, Mixcloud, Bandsintown: up to twelve links in one card instead of twelve separate link tiles.
- Every icon counts separately — you see whether your people pick Spotify or Beatport.
- The first platform with a player gets embedded — listening without leaving.
- You set the order: whatever sits first gets tapped first.
- Free for everyone. Several releases side by side are fine — album, single, remix.
For what needs more room.
Blog
Full articles with formatting, cover image and reading time. Own URL, own schema markup — Google reads them as articles.
- Its own URL per article, linkable and indexable.
- Save a draft and publish later.
- "Show in feed" controls whether the article appears in the magazine.
One block for your business.
Blocks
Opening hours, services, menu, team, dates, imprint — blocks exist once per profile and sit visibly at the top.
- Free: one block (the imprint counts) · Pro: all of them.
- The imprint is a legal matter and therefore always available.
- Made for local businesses: opening hours above everything else.
More content, without the mess.
Tags & filters
Every item can carry tags. On your profile they become a filter bar, in the global feed a hashtag cloud.
- Visitors filter by type (music, images, blog) or by tag.
- Tags get you into the global feed, where people search by topic.
- The same tags across all types — one tag, every format.
You decide what comes first.
Sorting
Order by drag and drop. Whatever sits at the top gets tapped the most — which is exactly why you decide the order, not an algorithm.
- Sorting works per type — link order, image order, release order.
- Drag a new release to the top and the back catalogue moves below it.
- Free, no limit.
Publish while you sleep.
Scheduling
Set a date and time — udots puts the item live for you. Handy for release Friday at midnight.
- Scheduled items sit in their own panel, not on the profile.
- Works for every type — link, image, statement, release, blog.
- Scheduling is Pro. Everything else on this page is free.
All of it is free.
Every content type explained once — and when to use which.
