A smarter way to generate links

Most link generators only shorten an address. The link still opens wherever the platform decides, which on Instagram and TikTok means a stripped down browser where your visitor is logged out. An OpenUp link carries a decision. It checks the device and the app it was tapped from, then opens the native app, the real browser or the web page, whichever works best for that visitor.

Frequently asked questions

Here are answers to the most common things people ask before getting started.

What is a link generator?

A link generator creates a new, shareable link from any URL. OpenUp's link generator creates smart links, which open the native app when tapped in Instagram, and the web version when the app is not installed.

What is the difference between a short link, a smart link and a deep link?

A short link is a shorter version of a URL. A smart link decides where to send each visitor, based on their phone and the app they tap from. A deep link opens a specific screen inside an app. Every OpenUp link is all three.

Is OpenUp a Bitly alternative?

Yes. Like Bitly, OpenUp shortens links, creates QR codes and counts clicks. The difference is that OpenUp links open the native app from the Instagram browser, where a standard short link usually stays inside Instagram.

Does it keep my UTM parameters and affiliate tags?

Yes. OpenUp uses your destination URL exactly as you paste it, parameters and affiliate tags included.

How much does OpenUp cost, and can I cancel anytime?

OpenUp is free to start. The free plan includes 5 links with 1,000 clicks per link each month, 5 QR codes and 1 link in bio page. Paid plans add more links, custom slugs, custom domains, UTM parameters and advanced analytics. There is no commitment, and you can cancel from your account whenever you want.

Can I track clicks and conversions?

Yes! Every OpenUp.to link includes analytics (clicks, app opens, devices, OS, country, referrer). UTM parameters pass through into Google Analytics, Meta Ads Manager and Mixpanel.

Where do the numbers on this site come from?

Every number on this site comes from OpenUp's own aggregated product data, such as links created, clicks routed and redirect time measured on our servers. OpenUp does not publish conversion multipliers it cannot measure, and never shows data about individual customers.

What is OpenUp?

OpenUp is a deep link generator and link platform built for social media traffic. OpenUp links open the native app instead of the Instagram, TikTok or Facebook in-app browser, on iPhone and Android. OpenUp opens +50 apps natively, bypasses 11 in-app browsers and falls back to the web when the app is not installed. It also creates short links, QR codes and link in bio pages, with analytics on every click. OpenUp is free to start and needs no code.
