Social Share Link Generator

About the Social Share Link Generator

Type a page address, the text you want people to share and any hashtags, and get a share link for every major network: X, Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Reddit, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon (on your own server), e-mail and SMS. Each link is built the way the network documents it — the right parameter names, hashtags without “#” for X, the link as a separate attachment for Threads — and is encoded so &, #, line breaks, every script and emoji survive. Press Open next to any link to try it.

You also get direct-message and profile links — t.me for Telegram (with a draft message), m.me for Messenger, ig.me for Instagram and a Threads follow link — and the HTML for share buttons that are plain links: no scripts, no tracking, keyboard and screen-reader friendly. Everything is made in your browser; nothing you type is uploaded.

Common uses

• Share buttons for a blog, a shop or a portfolio, without loading every network’s script (and its tracking) on each page view.
• “Click to post” links in newsletters, e-mails and PDFs, with the text and hashtags filled in.
• A “Message us” link to your Telegram, Messenger or Instagram inbox for a bio, a website or a QR code.
• Checking what a share link sends before you put it in a campaign — and whether the text fits each network.

What each network takes

• X: x.com/intent/tweet with text, url, hashtags (comma-separated, without #) and via — X Post button and Web Intent. X counts every link as 23 characters, so the counter shows the post as X counts it.
• Facebook: the documented Share Dialog needs an app ID (facebook.com/dialog/share?app_id=…&href=…, with one optional hashtag). Without one the tool uses the long-standing facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=… link, which Facebook still answers with its share page but does not describe in its current docs.
• LinkedIn: linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=… takes only the address.
• WhatsApp: wa.me/?text=… with the whole message (WhatsApp Help Center); a message with emoji gets the api.whatsapp.com/send form, as in our WhatsApp Link Generator.
• Telegram: t.me/share/url?url=…&text=…; the address is required (Telegram share button).
• Reddit: reddit.com/submit?url=…&title=….
• Pinterest: pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=…&media=…&description=… — a Pin needs the image address, and descriptions can be up to 500 characters (Pinterest buttons).
• Threads: threads.com/intent/post with text, url (an attached link) and tag, one topic tag of up to 50 characters (Threads Web Intents).
• Bluesky: bsky.app/intent/compose?text=…; the link goes in the text (Bluesky intent links).
• Mastodon: https://<your server>/share?text=… — Mastodon has no central site, so the link opens the server you choose and the person signs in there.
• E-mail: mailto:?subject=…&body=… (RFC 6068). SMS: sms:<number>?body=… (RFC 5724).

Why Facebook and LinkedIn ignore your text

Facebook and LinkedIn share the page itself: they read its title, description and image from the page’s Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url) and let the person write their own words. LinkedIn’s help page asks for all four tags and an image of at least 1200 × 627 pixels (LinkedIn: Making your website shareable). Check your tags with the Open Graph Checker before you share.

Share buttons that need no script

The HTML is a list of ordinary links, so it works on any site, in e-mail templates and with a strict Content-Security-Policy:

• Each link has visible text (“Share on X”), so screen readers and voice control can name it; the list has an aria-label.
• Links that open a new tab say so to screen readers, and use rel="noopener noreferrer".
• E-mail and SMS links open the mail or messages app, in the same tab.
• The optional CSS gives 44-pixel touch targets and a visible keyboard focus ring, in your page’s own colours (currentColor).
• No network script is loaded, so nothing tracks your visitors until they choose to share.

Limitations

• Each network decides what its page does with a link — what is pre-filled, whether people must sign in first — and can change it. Press Open to test each link.
• Reddit and Facebook’s sharer.php are not described in those networks’ current developer documentation; they answered with their share pages when the tool was built.
• SMS links without a phone number are outside the SMS link standard, so some messaging apps may not fill in the text.
• Instagram has no web link for sharing a post; ig.me opens a direct message with an account in the Instagram app (Meta says it is not supported on Instagram on the web).
• The counters use each network’s published counting rules; posts can still be cut if a network changes them.

Privacy

The links and HTML are made in your browser; the page address, text and usernames you type are not uploaded. When someone opens a link, that network receives what is in it, as with any share link.
