Reddit Deep Link Generator
Turn any Reddit post, comment thread, or subreddit URL into a deeplink that opens straight in the Reddit app instead of a browser.
Reddit links shared on Instagram, Telegram, or in newsletters usually open in a slow in-app browser where readers are logged out. This Reddit deep link generator builds a link that opens the post or subreddit directly in the Reddit app, where people can upvote, comment, and join immediately.
How to create your deep link
- 1Copy the Reddit post, comment, or subreddit URL (reddit.com or redd.it).
- 2Paste it above and tap Generate Smart Link.
- 3Share the deeplink in bios, stories, messages, or newsletters.
Posts, comments, and subreddits
Paste any reddit.com URL — a post, a specific comment thread, a user profile, or a whole subreddit — and the generator builds a smart link that hands it to the Reddit app on the reader's device, with an automatic web fallback when the app is missing.
Logged-in engagement instead of logged-out lurking
In-app browsers show Reddit's logged-out web view with signup walls. When the same link opens in the Reddit app, your audience is already signed in and one tap away from upvoting or subscribing.
Works on Android and iPhone
On Android the link uses an intent that targets the installed Reddit app directly. On iPhone the link escapes in-app browsers and opens via the Reddit app when installed — otherwise the default browser.
Tested implementation note for Reddit
The shipping generator handles reddit.com, redd.it URLs this way: Package-less intent on Android, Safari escape on iOS. No custom scheme is built.
- Test URL shape
- https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/
- Android path
- Package-less Android intent; an installed app claims its verified domain.
- iPhone path
- Safari hand-off first; the destination decides whether its app can open.
- Failure path
- If no installed app accepts the hand-off, the original HTTPS destination remains the fallback.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I open a Reddit link in the app?
Paste the Reddit URL into the generator and share the resulting deeplink. When tapped on a phone with the Reddit app installed, the post opens directly in the app.
Do redd.it short links work?
Yes. Both full reddit.com URLs and redd.it short links are supported.
What happens if the Reddit app is not installed?
The link automatically opens in the device's default browser instead, so it never dead-ends.
