t.me link generator for Telegram
free · no sign-up
Enter a channel, bot or user name and get ready links: to the channel and a specific post, to a bot with a start parameter (it tells you where a user came from), to a chat with a prefilled message, and a share link for a button on your site. Everything is built in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
- Enter a name or URL — links will appear here
How to use it
- step 1
Enter the name
With or without @. For a post link add its number — it’s at the end of “Copy post link”.
- step 2
Add parameters
A start parameter for a bot, text for a chat or a page URL for the share button — optional.
- step 3
Copy the link you need
The button next to each link puts it on the clipboard.
How it’s calculated
Bot with a start parameter
Format t.me/bot?start=parameter. When the user presses “Start”, the bot receives /start with this parameter — that’s how you count which platform a user came from. Up to 64 characters: Latin letters, digits, _ and -.
Share link
Format t.me/share/url?url=address&text=text. Opens the chat picker in Telegram and inserts the URL with a caption — use it for a “Share on Telegram” button.
Chat with prefilled text
Format t.me/name?text=text: opens the chat and puts the message into the input field. The user sends it themselves.
Post link
Format t.me/channel/number. In private channels a post link works only for members.

FAQ
How do I make a link to my Telegram channel?
A public channel’s link is t.me/channel_name. The name is set in channel settings: “Channel type” → “Public”. Private channels use invite links instead.
How do I know where bot users came from?
Give each platform its own link with a start parameter, e.g. t.me/bot?start=youtube. The bot receives the parameter on start. In TGStudio, visits from such links and from channel invite links show up in analytics.
Do tg:// links work?
Only where Telegram is installed; browsers don’t open them. t.me links are more reliable: without the app they show a page with an open button.
Where is the data I enter sent?
Nowhere: links are built in your browser.
