Deep Link Generator — Custom Scheme Links With Web Fallback

Build a custom app-scheme deep link with an optional web fallback URL. Use it in emails, ads and QR codes so users who have your app land inside it while everyone else reaches the website.

What the Deep Link Generator does

A deep link uses an app's custom URI scheme (or a universal link) to open a specific screen inside an installed app, with a web fallback for people who don't have it.

Methodology and formula

The tool combines your scheme, host and path into a myapp://path URI and appends any parameters, showing the web fallback URL alongside it.

Worked example

Inputs: Scheme myapp, path product/42, fallback https://example.com/product/42
Result: myapp://product/42

Opens the product screen inside the app, with a website fallback for everyone else.

When to use this tool

Pair the deep link generator with the short link generator for a tidy shareable address, or the QR code generator when the link has to work on print.

About the Deep Link Generator

A real example

A retailer links myshop://product/8891 from a push notification, so tapping it opens that product screen in the app and falls back to shop.example.com/p/8891 in the browser.

When to use the deep link generator

Use it in emails, ads and QR codes so users who have your app land inside it while everyone else reaches the website.

How the link is built

The tool combines your scheme, host and path into a myapp://path URI and appends any parameters, showing the web fallback URL alongside it.

Things to watch out for

Custom schemes fail silently when the app is not installed. Universal Links and App Links are more reliable for production.

Frequently asked questions

Why does nothing happen when I tap the link?

The app is probably not installed. Custom schemes have no built-in fallback, which is why a web URL is shown too.

What is better than a custom scheme?

Universal Links on iOS and App Links on Android open the app when installed and the website when not.

Is this link generator free?

Yes. Every generator on BusinessTools.Online is free, needs no signup, and builds the link in your browser.

Do you store the links I create?

No. The link is assembled locally in your browser and never sent to or saved on our servers.
