YouTube Link Generator
Build YouTube links: short link, link that starts at a time, playlist link, channel link, and subscribe link. Open each to test it. Free, no signup.
Watch links, youtu.be links, Shorts and live links all work.
Paste a YouTube video link to get the links.
Good to know
- A link that starts at a time opens the video at that moment. In your own video description, a time such as 1:30 on its own line is already a clickable link, so you do not need one.
- The subscribe link opens your channel and asks the viewer to confirm. It cannot subscribe anyone by itself.
- These are plain YouTube links built from what you typed. They are not shortened, tracked or counted, and the tool does not check that the video or channel exists.
- Adding tracking tags such as utm_source to a YouTube link does not send data to your own analytics, because the viewer lands on YouTube and not on your site. Use them on links that point to your own website.
- Handles are not case sensitive, but they must be spelled right. Check each link by opening it before you publish.

About the YouTube Link Generator
?What the link generator does
You paste a YouTube video link or type your channel handle, and the tool builds the links you are likely to need: a short link, a link that starts at a time, playlist links, a channel link and a subscribe link.
The links are plain YouTube addresses built from what you typed. The tool does not shorten, track or check them, and it works in your browser without sending anything to our server.

★Examples
A link to the best moment
Enter the video link and a start time of 1:30.
Example:
You get https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID?t=90, which opens the video 90 seconds in.
A subscribe link for your bio
Enter your handle, such as @samskitchen.
Example:
The subscribe link is https://www.youtube.com/@samskitchen?sub_confirmation=1.
Share a video inside a playlist
Add the playlist link.
Example:
The link opens the video with the playlist beside it, so viewers can keep watching the series.
♥Limits to know about
No tracking
The tool does not count clicks, and tracking tags on a YouTube link do not send data to your own analytics.
It does not check links
It cannot tell whether a video or channel exists, so open each link to test it.
Plain YouTube addresses
The links are the same ones you can get from YouTube. The tool saves you typing them.
