Free Deep Link Generator
Create an app-opening link for Android and iPhone — free, instant, and without signup
How do you open a link in an app instead of a browser?
Quick answer: paste the regular URL above and generate a smart deep link. When someone taps it, OpenLinkInApp asks Android or iPhone to open the matching installed app; if the app is unavailable, the same link falls back to the default browser.
It works with Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Amazon, Flipkart, Reddit, Telegram, WhatsApp, X, and other supported destinations. See the step-by-step deep link guide or check the tested iOS and Android behavior.
1. Paste a regular HTTPS URL
Use a public destination from its Share button.
2. Generate the app-opening link
No account, SDK, or app installation required.
3a. Supported app installed
The device hands the destination to the app.
3b. No app hand-off
The original website remains the safe fallback.
Skip In-App Browsers
Request the destination app or full browser from a shared link.
Direct App Opening
Open YouTube, TikTok, Amazon, and more directly in their native mobile apps.
Content Creator Friendly
Perfect for sharing your videos, products, and content across social platforms.
What the generated link does
It turns your destination into a shareable OpenLinkInApp URL. On Android it hands the destination to an installed app with a browser fallback. On iPhone it uses the safest available route for that platform: a verified app scheme, a Universal Link, or a hand-off to Safari. The exact platform rules are published in the tested deep link reference.
What it deliberately does not do
This is not an attribution SDK or a deferred-deep-linking platform. It does not carry a destination through a new app install, track installs, or provide campaign dashboards. It is a focused, no-account link opener for apps that are already installed, with a web fallback when they are not.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about generating deep links.
What is a deep link and how does the deep link generator work?
A deep link points to content inside a mobile app. Paste a public YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Amazon URL into OpenLinkInApp to create a shareable link. Visitors tap Open in App to request the matching app, with a website fallback when the handoff is unavailable.
Is this deep link generator free?
Yes. Creating and opening links is free and requires no registration. Short-term rate limits protect the service from abuse; if you reach one, wait for the retry time shown and try again.
How do I bypass the Instagram in-app browser?
Generate a link and share it in Instagram. Visitors tap Open in App to request the destination app. Instagram, the operating system, and app settings can restrict this handoff; Open in Browser provides another way to reach the website. The tool cannot bypass account login requirements.
Which platforms are supported?
The generator accepts public web URLs, including Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Amazon, Flipkart, Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Spotify. App-opening support varies by platform, device, and source browser. Other websites remain reachable through the browser fallback; see the compatibility reference for platform details.
Do deep links work on both Android and iPhone?
Yes. On Android the link uses an intent that opens the installed app directly, with an automatic browser fallback. On iPhone the tool uses Universal Links, app URL schemes, and a Safari hand-off to escape in-app browsers, so content opens in the native app when it is installed and in the default browser when it is not.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
No. There is nothing to install and no signup. The generator produces a shareable link immediately; shortened links store the destination and an abuse-prevention hash as described in the privacy policy.
The free deep link generator for creators and marketers
Share a video, post, or product with a link that asks the visitor's device to open the matching app. If they are already signed in there, they can continue with that account. Keep the original website reachable for visitors without the app.
Before publishing a campaign, test the link in the app where your audience will tap it, on both Android and iPhone. Check the browser fallback too. Installed apps, device settings, and embedded browsers can change the result; no link generator can force every handoff.
Every platform behaves a little differently, so each one has its own tool. Creators sharing posts and reels use the Instagram deep link generator and the YouTube deep link generator; affiliates and deal channels use the Amazon deep link generator and the Flipkart deep link generator. If you would rather not pick a platform at all, the app opener link generator and the link opener handle any URL, and the guide to bypassing the Instagram in-app browser explains why this matters in the first place.
