Free LinkedIn Share Link Generator

LinkedIn’s share button is a simple share-offsite URL with your page address attached. Enter any URL to generate the exact link, test it with the live Open button, and drop it into your site’s share buttons or company posts.

Private by design. This tool runs 100% in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server.

How to Use the LinkedIn Share Link Generator

  1. Enter the full URL of the page you want people to share.
  2. Click Generate share link.
  3. Copy the link for your buttons, or press Open to test the share dialog.

Features

Builds the official linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=… link with proper encoding, one-click copy, and an Open button for testing the share dialog.

Benefits & Use Cases

Works as a plain hyperlink — no SDK or API key needed — making it trivial to add LinkedIn sharing to blogs, docs, and newsletters.

Tips

LinkedIn builds the preview from your page’s Open Graph tags. Articles with a strong og:image get significantly more engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the LinkedIn share URL work?

It opens LinkedIn’s share dialog with your URL loaded (linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=YOUR_URL), where the user can add commentary and choose where to post.

Can I prefill the post text?

LinkedIn does not support prefilling share text via URL — the preview comes from your page’s Open Graph tags.

Do I need a LinkedIn developer app?

No. The share-offsite URL requires no authentication or app registration.

Why is my preview image missing?

Check your page’s og:image tag and use LinkedIn’s Post Inspector to refresh the cached preview.
