Deep Link Generator
Generate deep links, iOS Universal Links, and Android App Links with all the configuration files and code snippets you need to implement them.
What Are Deep Links and Why Do They Matter?
Deep links are URLs that navigate users directly to specific content within a mobile application rather than simply opening the app's home screen. They are essential for mobile marketing campaigns, push notification engagement, social media sharing, and seamless user experiences across web and app platforms. Without deep links, users who tap a link would land on a generic page or the app store, creating friction and reducing conversion rates.
Types of Deep Links Explained
There are three main types of deep links used in mobile development. Custom scheme links use a proprietary protocol like myapp://product/123 and are the simplest to implement but do not work if the app is not installed. iOS Universal Links and Android App Links use standard HTTPS URLs that work both as web links and app links. When the app is installed, the operating system intercepts the URL and opens the app directly. When the app is not installed, the URL opens in a web browser as a normal webpage, providing a graceful fallback experience.
How to Use This Deep Link Generator
Select your link type from the dropdown menu to generate the appropriate deep link format along with all the configuration files you need. For custom scheme links, you will receive the URL format plus the required Info.plist and AndroidManifest.xml configurations. For Universal Links and App Links, the tool generates the AASA file for iOS and the assetlinks.json file for Android, which must be hosted on your web server at specific paths. The Flutter option generates configuration for both platforms along with the routing code needed to handle incoming deep links in your Dart code.
Testing Deep Links on Simulators and Devices
Testing deep links requires different approaches for each platform. On iOS, you can use the xcrun simctl openurl command to open a deep link in the simulator, or use Safari on a physical device to test Universal Links. On Android, the adb shell am start command lets you trigger deep links from the command line. For Flutter projects, you can test on both platforms using the platform-specific commands. The generated output includes the exact test commands for each platform so you can verify your implementation immediately. All processing happens entirely in your browser with no data sent to any server.
