Social share link builder
Generate "share this" intents for X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, WhatsApp, Telegram, Bluesky, email — all from one URL + one title.
Ready.
How to use
- Paste the URL to share, optional Title and Description.
- The output is a table — each row is a platform, with the share-intent URL and a mock preview of how the platform's compose box will look.
- Click any row's Copy to grab the link; click Open to test in a new tab.
- The Copy all as Markdown / HTML button dumps a row of share buttons you can paste into your blog footer or release notes.
Per-platform notes
- X (Twitter) —
twitter.com/intent/tweetacceptsurl+text. Hashtags viahashtags=foo,barif you add them manually. - Facebook —
sharer.php?u=...only honours the URL; FB pulls title/image from the URL's Open Graph tags. - LinkedIn —
sharing/share-offsiteonly honours the URL; title/description come from OG meta. - WhatsApp / Telegram / Bluesky — all accept body text plus a URL.
- Mastodon — there's no stable cross-instance share URL. The tool generates a server-picker link.
FAQ
Why don't Facebook / LinkedIn pick up my title?
They both pull title/description/image from the destination URL's Open Graph meta tags — not from the share-intent query string. Set OG tags on your page first (use the OG / Twitter card meta builder).
How is this different from a share button library?
This produces the same URLs the major libraries use, but you copy them statically — no third-party JavaScript on your page.
Does the link auto-open a logged-in account?
Yes — share-intent URLs use whichever session the user has in their browser. Some platforms (X, FB) require a login if there's no active session.
Does the share link track clicks?
The intent URL itself doesn't, but each platform tracks who composed the post once it's published.
