How it works

How to create a Strava deep link

Paste your Strava link

Drop any activity, athlete, club, or route URL from strava.com into the box above.

Get your deep link

U2L returns a short link that knows how to open the Strava native app on a phone.

It opens in the app

Use it in bios, ads, or a QR code - taps land on the exact activity or club in the Strava app.

What is a Strava deep link?

A Strava deep link is a URL that opens a specific activity, athlete, club, or route inside the Strava mobile app rather than a browser. You generate one from any strava.com link and use it wherever you share.

Athletes, brands, and event organisers use deep links so a tap lands in the app, where people follow, join clubs, and save routes. A Strava page opened in a browser asks people to switch apps and loses the moment.

Three terms to know: a deep link is the general idea of opening a specific in-app screen, a universal link is Apple's https-based version on iOS, and an app link is Android's. U2L applies the right one per device, so there's nothing to configure.

There's no SDK or code, either. U2L generates the link from a paste - free and instant.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a Strava deep link?

A link that opens a specific activity, athlete, club, or route inside the native Strava app instead of a browser. U2L generates one from any strava.com URL.

How do I create a Strava deep link?

Paste your Strava URL into the box above and share the U2L link you get back. On phones it opens the Strava app directly to that activity or club.

Do I need an SDK or any code?

No. U2L generates the link from a pasted URL - there is nothing to install, configure, or ship.

Is the Strava deep link generator free?

Yes - generating links is free and needs no account. Sign up free only if you want analytics and management.

Does it work on both iPhone and Android?

Yes. U2L opens the native app on iOS and Android and falls back to the web if Strava isn't installed.

Can I deep-link to a club or route?

Yes - paste the club or route URL and the link opens that exact destination in the app.

What's the difference between a deep link and a universal link?

A deep link is the general concept of opening a specific in-app screen; a universal link is Apple's https-based way of doing it on iOS (Android's version is an app link). U2L handles the right one per device automatically.

Can I track clicks on my Strava deep links?

Free links are anonymous with no analytics. Create a free U2L account to track clicks, devices, and locations on every link.
