The Mobile Experience Gap

Regular Links Are Killing Your Engagement

When you share links on social media, they open in stripped-down in-app browsers. Users aren't logged in, the experience is clunky, and they leave before taking action.

3× fewer steps to subscribe when the link opens the YouTube app

Simple 3-Step Process

How Deep Link Generation Works

Create app-opening links in seconds, no technical knowledge required

  1. Paste Your URL

    Copy any URL from YouTube, Spotify, Amazon, Instagram, or 100+ other supported platforms

  2. LinkTwin detects the app

    Our system instantly recognizes the platform and generates the optimal deep link format

  3. Share & Track

    Share your deep link anywhere and track clicks, devices, and locations in real-time

What happens when someone taps it

The same link reads the phone and the app each tap comes from, then opens the destination in the best place it can: the app, the real browser, or the web page when the app is missing. Pick a route to see it play out.

TikTok never lets a link out on its own, so LinkTwin shows a short guide to TikTok's own Open in browser, two taps away. On X, it takes one tap on iPhone, and app links open directly on Android. If an app is not installed, the visitor gets the normal web page.

Auto-detection for all major platforms

A deep link generator for every app you share

LinkTwin supports more than 100 apps. These 60 have their own page with the links they accept, examples and tips. Any other website opens in the visitor's real browser.

Inside a deep link: what the generator writes for each phone

Every app has its own way of being opened from a link, and iPhone and Android do it differently. You paste the normal web link once. LinkTwin writes the format each phone needs and keeps the web page as the fallback.

  • URI scheme spotify:track:3n8K...

    An address only the app understands. It opens the exact song, video or product inside the app.

  • Universal Link and App Link https://www.instagram.com/stories/...

    A normal https link that the phone hands to the app when it is installed, and to the website when it is not.

  • Android intent intent://...;package=com.spotify.music;end

    An Android address that names the app's package, so the phone opens exactly that app.

Deep Link Questions

Everything you need to know about generating and using deep links. Still have questions? Contact us

What is a deep link generator?

A deep link generator creates special URLs that open content directly inside mobile apps, or in your external browser (Safari/Chrome), instead of clunky in-app browsers. When someone clicks a deep link on their phone, it can launch the relevant app (like YouTube, Spotify, or Amazon) or escape to their default browser, where they're already logged in with saved passwords and payment methods.

Is the deep link generator free?

Yes. The free plan generates deep links for 100+ apps, with click tracking and smart fallback, for 10 links and 500 clicks a month, and no credit card is needed. Paid plans add more links and clicks. A/B testing comes on every plan, custom domains from the Medium plan and retargeting pixels on every plan.

What happens if the app isn't installed?

LinkTwin deep links include smart fallback. If the user doesn't have the app installed, they'll be seamlessly redirected to the web version of the content. This ensures your audience always reaches their destination, regardless of their device setup.

Which apps are supported?

LinkTwin supports 100+ popular apps including YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, SoundCloud, Twitch, podcast apps, and many more. Our system automatically detects the platform and generates the optimal deep link. View the full list.

How do deep links improve conversions?

Deep links take people straight to the content inside the app, where they are already logged in. Subscribing, following or buying takes one or two taps instead of a sign-in form, so fewer people give up on the way. For shopping links it also means checkout with the card and address the app already knows.

Can I track deep link clicks?

Yes. Every deep link you create includes analytics: total clicks, unique visitors, device types (iOS, Android, desktop), countries, referral sources and trends over time. You can also add retargeting pixels (Facebook, Google, TikTok) to build custom audiences. Pixels come on every plan.

Can deep links open in Safari or Chrome instead of apps?

Yes. Links tapped in Instagram, Facebook or Threads normally open in a stripped-down in-app browser. LinkTwin can escape these in-app browsers and open your page in Safari or Chrome instead, where visitors have their saved passwords and payment methods. In TikTok, LinkTwin shows a short guide to TikTok's own Open in browser, two taps away. In X, it takes one tap on iPhone, while on Android the page stays inside X.

How do I generate a deep link?

To create a link, paste any URL into the generator at the top of this page and tap Generate Deep Link. Create a free account and your short link is ready to copy. Share it in a bio, a post, an ad, a DM or a QR code, and every tap opens the right app on iPhone and Android.

Is it a free link generator for any URL?

Yes. Paste any URL. If an app can open it, the link opens that app. If not, it opens in the visitor's real browser instead of the in-app one, so the same generator works for videos, products, songs, profiles and your own website.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Each link carries the right format for iPhone and iPad and for Android, and LinkTwin picks one on every tap. On a computer it opens the normal web page.

Do I need to write code or install an SDK?

No. Paste a normal link and LinkTwin writes the iPhone and Android deep link formats for you. There is nothing to install, and your visitors do not need to install anything either.
