Facebook Deep Link Generator

Turn Facebook post, page, group, and video links into deeplinks that open in the Facebook app, where people are signed in and can react, comment, and join.

Public HTTP or HTTPS links only. Destinations can be up to 2,048 characters.

Facebook links shared from a newsletter, a website, or another platform open in a browser where the reader is logged out — so the Join button on your group does nothing useful and comments are invisible. This Facebook deep link generator builds a link that opens the content in the Facebook app instead.

How to create your deep link

  1. 1Copy the Facebook post, page, group, or video URL.
  2. 2Paste it above and tap Generate Smart Link.
  3. 3Share the deeplink in emails, on your site, or on other platforms.

Posts, Pages, Groups, and fb.watch videos

Standard facebook.com URLs and fb.watch video links are both handled. Android uses an intent that opens the installed Facebook app with a browser fallback; on iPhone, Facebook links reliably hand off from https to the app, so the plain link is used there.

Group invites are where this pays

Joining a group requires an account. A logged-out browser view means the visitor has to sign in before they can join, and most do not bother. Opening the group in the app puts them one tap from Join.

Free and unlimited

No signup, no limits. Generate a deeplink for every post, page, and group you promote.

Tested implementation note for Facebook

The shipping generator handles facebook.com, fb.watch URLs this way: Self-bouncing from https. Meta's own webviews are the most common origin for these links.

Test URL shape
https://www.facebook.com/zuck
Android path
Package-less Android intent; an installed app claims its verified domain.
iPhone path
The HTTPS URL can hand off through the platform's Universal Link.
Failure path
If no installed app accepts the hand-off, the original HTTPS destination remains the fallback.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do fb.watch video links work?

Yes. fb.watch links and full facebook.com video URLs both open in the Facebook app.

Can I use this for a Facebook group invite?

Yes. The group opens in the app where the visitor is already signed in, so joining is a single tap rather than a login first.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes. Facebook links hand off from the web to the app on iOS, so the link opens the app when it is installed and the browser when it is not.
