Firebase Dynamic Links alternative
Firebase Dynamic Links shut down on 25 August 2025. Replace them with short links that send each device to the right place.
Firebase Dynamic Links (page.link) was deprecated and shut down on 25 August 2025, so app links, invite links and short URLs built on it stopped working. Apps need a replacement that shortens URLs and routes mobile users correctly.
Here, one short link on your own domain can send iPhone users to the App Store, Android users to Google Play and everyone else to your website.
Shorten your link
Free, instant, no ads. A QR code comes with it.
- 1,000 links free
- 6 custom domains free
- No credit card
How to do it in three steps
- 1
Connect your domain
Use the same subdomain pattern your app expects.
- 2
Set device destinations
iOS, Android and desktop URLs per link (mobile targeting, Starter).
- 3
Add deep-link files
Serve Android App Links and Apple app-site-association files from your domain (Business).
Create links from your backend
The REST API creates links in bulk and returns short URLs your app can share, like the Dynamic Links API did.
Measure installs and campaigns
UTM tags, per-link analytics and conversion tracking show which campaign brought each user.
Android intent links
Links can open a specific Android app screen with a browser fallback.
