About the Share Link Generator
Every network exposes a plain web address that opens its composer with your link already filled in. Facebook uses sharer.php?u=, LinkedIn wants share-offsite/?url=, Reddit accepts a url and a title, and WhatsApp simply takes one text parameter that swallows the headline and the address together. Remembering all of that is the tedious part, so this page writes each one for you from a single input.
The title box changes the output in ways worth knowing. Networks that keep the headline separate from the address, such as Reddit and X, receive it in their own parameter. Chat apps that only carry a message, such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Bluesky, get the headline and the link joined into one line of text. The email and SMS entries are not web links at all: they use the mailto: and sms: schemes so a press opens the local mail client or messaging app with the body ready.
Values are percent encoded properly, so a title containing an ampersand or a question mark will not break the query string. No tracking parameters are appended, which means the address you paste is the address your reader lands on. If you do want campaign tags for analytics, build them first with the UTM builder and paste the tagged address here. For a chat button that opens a conversation with a specific number instead, use the WhatsApp link generator.
How to use
- Paste the address of the page you want people to share.
- Type a headline in Title text if the network should show one.
- Leave the platform on Every platform to get the whole set at once.
- Copy the line you need and put it in the href of your share button.
Common questions
- Do these links need an API key or an SDK?
- No. Each one is an ordinary address that opens the network composer, so a plain anchor tag is all your page needs.
- Why does WhatsApp put the title and the link together?
- The wa.me endpoint accepts a single text parameter, so the headline and the address have to travel as one message body.
- Can I preset the image that gets shared?
- Not from the link. Networks read the image from the Open Graph tags on the page itself, which you can write with the meta tag generator.
- Will the twitter.com address still work?
- Yes, the intent endpoint continues to redirect to X, and it remains the form most documented for share buttons.
