About Deep Links, QR Codes and Short URLs: LinkTwin

LinkTwin is a deep link generator, URL shortener and QR code generator that lives in your browser toolbar. One click turns the page you are on into a short link that opens in the YouTube, Amazon, Spotify or TikTok app, not in the browser built into Instagram or Facebook. Share a normal link on social media and it opens in an in-app browser, where your audience is signed out. They have to log in before they can subscribe, buy or follow. A LinkTwin deep link opens the app they already use, where they are already signed in. ⚡ ONE CLICK, LINK COPIED Open a YouTube video, an Amazon product or a Spotify track and click the LinkTwin icon. Your deep link is made and copied to your clipboard. No dashboard, no extra tab, no copying and pasting. 📲 DEEP LINKS THAT OPEN THE APP • YouTube links that open the YouTube app • Amazon links that open the Amazon app, with your affiliate tag applied when you have set one in your account • Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, Instagram and 100+ more apps • Share them in bios, Stories, posts, ads, DMs and QR codes ✍️ BULK LINK REPLACEMENT • Paste a newsletter, caption, blog post or video description and press Replace Links in Text • Your words stay exactly as they are, the links become LinkTwin links, and the text is copied back to your clipboard • Paste a list of URLs and get a LinkTwin link for each one • Or select text on a page and right-click.
