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.
