In short Telegram Link Generator is a free online tool on inputtesthub.com that builds t.me links for a username, a bot with a start payload, a share dialog or a phone number, with the app scheme alongside. It needs no account, no download and no payment, and there is no daily usage limit. Everything is processed inside your own browser, so the data you paste is never uploaded to a server.

How to use the Telegram Link Generator

  1. Pick the link type.
  2. Fill in the username, URL or number it needs.
  3. Use the https link on a website, not the tg:// one.

About the Telegram Link Generator

The Telegram Link Generator builds t.me links for a username, a bot with a start payload, a share dialog or a phone number, with the app scheme alongside. It runs as plain JavaScript inside the page, which means there is no upload step, no queue and no size limit imposed by a server — the only limit is your own device.

What people use it for

  • Linking to a Telegram channel from a website.
  • Making a bot deep link that carries a referral code.
  • Adding a "Share on Telegram" button to an article.

Details

Username linkhttps://t.me/username
Bot starthttps://t.me/bot?start=payload
Sharehttps://t.me/share/url?url=…&text=…
Payload rules1–64 characters of A–Z, a–z, 0–9, underscore and hyphen
Username rules5–32 characters, starting with a letter
Telegram usernames are validated here against the platform's own rules — five to thirty-two characters, starting with a letter, letters, digits and underscores only. A link to an invalid username resolves to a "user not found" page rather than an error, so it is worth catching before it goes on a page.

Where this tool stops

Public usernames, bots and share links. Private group invite links are issued by Telegram and cannot be constructed.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use https://t.me/ or tg://?
The https link, on anything public. It opens the app when the app is installed and a web page offering to install it when it is not. The <code>tg://</code> scheme goes straight to the app and does nothing at all on a device without Telegram — no error, no fallback, just a dead link. It is a fallback for native apps, not a web link.
What is a start payload for?
It is a small piece of data the bot receives the moment someone opens the chat, which is how referral tracking, campaign attribution and pre-selected options work. Keep it to letters, digits, underscore and hyphen — Telegram silently drops anything else, so a payload with a colon or a slash arrives empty.
Why does my phone link not open a chat?
Because Telegram does not allow starting a conversation with a stranger by number. A phone link works only when that number is already in your contacts, which is the opposite of how WhatsApp click-to-chat behaves and the usual reason people expect it to work.
Do I need an account to use the Telegram Link Generator?
There is no cost and no cap. The Telegram Link Generator is not a demo of a paid product, so nothing is held back or watermarked.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The Telegram Link Generator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Because the work happens locally, the page also keeps working if your connection drops, and closing the tab is all it takes to discard everything.
Who is the Telegram Link Generator for?
Typical uses: linking to a Telegram channel from a website. Making a bot deep link that carries a referral code. Adding a "Share on Telegram" button to an article. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
When is the Telegram Link Generator not the right tool?
Public usernames, bots and share links. Private group invite links are issued by Telegram and cannot be constructed. Knowing where a tool stops being trustworthy matters more than the cases where it works.
Which values should I know?
Username link is <code>https://t.me/username</code>. Bot start is <code>https://t.me/bot?start=payload</code>. Share is <code>https://t.me/share/url?url=…&amp;text=…</code>. These are printed on the page itself, so you do not have to take them on trust.
Does the Telegram Link Generator work on a phone?
Yes. The page is responsive and the page works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet on both Android and iOS. There is no app to install and nothing to sign into.
