Mailto link generator: the syntax, and when you need more
A mailto link looks like this:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hello&body=Hi%20thereSpaces become %20 and line breaks %0A. That works on a website, but Instagram, TikTok and most in-app browsers won't open it. linkto.email wraps the same mailto in a short HTTPS link that works everywhere a normal link does.
Frequently asked questions
What is a mailto link, and why use a short link instead?
A mailto link opens the visitor's email app with the recipient, subject and message already filled in. linkto.email turns that into a short HTTPS link (linkto.email/r/abc123) you can paste anywhere a normal link works — and that you can track by clicks.
Why doesn't a mailto: address work in an Instagram or TikTok bio?
Those apps only turn http(s) addresses into links, so a mailto: sits there as dead text. A linkto.email link is a regular HTTPS URL: it's tappable in the bio and opens the email app when someone taps it.
Does it work inside the Instagram in-app browser?
Yes. The redirect page recognizes the Instagram and Facebook in-app browsers and gets the visitor to their default email app from inside them, instead of doing nothing at all.
What's the difference between a test link, a permanent link and Pro?
A test link is free and works for 2 hours. A permanent link costs $9 (one-time, per link) and never stops working — it includes your own URL, CC/BCC, full analytics and no linkto.email branding. Pro yearly makes all your links permanent, with no limit.
Do my links expire?
Test links (with or without an account) stop working 2 hours after they're created. Permanent links, and links on an active Pro or a Lifetime account, never expire. An expired link can be reactivated — it's the same address, so QR codes and bios start working again.
What do you collect when someone clicks my link?
We record the click with country, city, device, browser and source — never the raw IP address or user agent, which are used in memory for geolocation and then discarded. Click data is deleted after 12 months; the details are in the privacy policy at linkto.email/privacy.
