LinkedIn Deep Link Generator — Open LinkedIn Links in the App
Paste any LinkedIn link — profiles, company pages and posts — and get a link that opens the LinkedIn app instead of a logged-out browser. Free, no signup.
Why LinkedIn links open in the browser
Social apps like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and LinkedIn open taps in their own in-app browser. That browser doesn't share the viewer's login, so they land on LinkedIn logged out — with no saved account, no follow button that works and no one-tap actions.
A plain https link never tells the phone to hand off to the LinkedIn app. A deep link does: it carries the app's URL scheme and package so the phone can open LinkedIn directly.

FAQ
How do I make a LinkedIn link open in the app?
Paste your LinkedIn link into the generator above to get iOS and Android app links. For click analytics and in-app-browser handling, turn it into a free vayda.link.
What is the LinkedIn URL scheme?
LinkedIn uses linkedin://. Vayda builds links with the template linkedin://{path_no_slash}.
Why does my LinkedIn link open in Instagram's browser?
Instagram, TikTok and Facebook open taps in their own in-app browser, which doesn't share the viewer's LinkedIn login. On Android, a smart link can hand off to the LinkedIn app. On iPhone, Meta blocks automatic app hand-off for every link tool, so viewers need to tap ••• → Open in external browser.
What happens if the LinkedIn app isn't installed?
On Android the link falls back to the LinkedIn web page via browser_fallback_url. On iPhone the link opens the LinkedIn website or the App Store.
Is the LinkedIn deep link generator free?
Yes. Generating raw app links is free with no signup. Trackable smart links are free up to 2,000 clicks/month.
