How to Make a Reddit Share Link in 3 Steps

Paste your URL, title, and subreddit

Enter the page you want shared and a suggested post title. Optionally pre-select a subreddit; the tool validates the name and URL-encodes everything correctly.

We build the official reddit.com/submit link, plus an HTML "Share on Reddit" button and a Markdown version for READMEs and docs.

Put it where readers finish

Add it to the end of posts, newsletter footers, and launch pages. Shorten it with Flyn to track which placement drives the most Reddit shares.

What Is a Reddit Share Link?

A Reddit share link is a URL that points at Reddit's official submit endpoint, reddit.com/submit, with your page address and a suggested title passed as query parameters. Clicking it opens Reddit's post composer with the link and title already filled in.

The step it removes is the whole point: instead of asking readers to copy your URL, open Reddit, start a post, and paste everything in, they click once and land in a composer that is ready to go. Add a subreddit and the base changes to reddit.com/r/SUBREDDIT/submit, so that community is pre-selected too.

It never posts on anyone's behalf. The sharer reviews the post, edits the title if they want, adds flair where the community requires it, and presses Post themselves. That final human click is what keeps the mechanism inside Reddit's rules, Reddit does not allow automatic posting from a link.

Where to Put Your Reddit Share Link

A share button only earns clicks if it sits where the intent is. These are the placements that convert readers into sharers, and the ones worth tracking separately.

Placement	Why it works
End of blog posts	Readers who finished the article are the ones most likely to recommend it. A share button catches them at peak intent.
Newsletter footer	Subscribers already like your content; one pre-filled click turns them into distributors.
Launch & changelog pages	Make it effortless for early users to post your launch to r/SideProject or your niche community.
Documentation & guides	Tutorials get shared to help-seeking subreddits; a pre-filled link keeps your preferred title attached.
Open source READMEs	A Markdown share link in the README lets users post your project with a title you control.
Podcast & video show notes	Send listeners to share the episode page with the title you wrote, not one they improvise.

Pro tip

Use a different Flyn short link for each placement (one for blog posts, one for the newsletter, one for the README). Same reddit.com/submit destination, separate click counts, so you can see which surface actually gets your pages shared instead of guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Reddit share link?

A Reddit share link points at Reddit’s official submit endpoint, reddit.com/submit, with your page URL and a suggested title passed as query parameters. When someone clicks it, Reddit opens its post composer with your link and title already filled in, so sharing your page takes seconds instead of copy-pasting. It is the same mechanism behind the "Share on Reddit" buttons you see on blogs and news sites.

How does the reddit.com/submit URL work?

The endpoint accepts two query parameters: url, the address you want posted, and title, the suggested headline, both URL-encoded. The full format is https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=ENCODED&title=ENCODED. Reddit reads those parameters and pre-fills the post composer; this tool handles the encoding for you so spaces and special characters never break the link.

Can I pre-select a subreddit?

Yes. Add a subreddit in the optional field and the link changes to https://www.reddit.com/r/SUBREDDIT/submit?..., which opens the composer with that community already chosen. Subreddit names are 3 to 21 characters using letters, numbers, and underscores. Leave the field empty to let each person pick their own community, which is often the better choice for a general share button.

Does the link post to Reddit automatically?

No, and that is by design. The link only opens the composer pre-filled; the person still reviews the post, picks flair if the community requires it, and presses Post themselves. Nothing is ever submitted on someone’s behalf, which is exactly why this official mechanism is safe to put in front of your audience.

Does it work on mobile and in the Reddit app?

Yes. On phones the link opens in the Reddit app or the mobile site, depending on where the reader is signed in, and the composer arrives pre-filled the same way. Since most Reddit browsing happens on mobile, that covers the majority of your potential sharers.

What happens if someone is not logged in to Reddit?

Reddit asks them to log in or sign up first, then continues to the pre-filled composer. You do not need to do anything special; the url and title parameters survive the login step. People without a Reddit account cannot post, though, so share buttons work best for content whose audience already lives on Reddit.

Is there a limit on the post title?

Yes, Reddit caps post titles at 300 characters. The tool warns you when your title runs over so you can trim it before sharing the link. Shorter, specific titles tend to perform better on Reddit anyway; the first 8 to 12 words do most of the work in the feed.

Is using a share link allowed by Reddit?

The submit endpoint is Reddit’s own official mechanism, so linking to it is completely fine. What can get posts removed is where they land: many subreddits have strict self-promotion rules, and moderators remove link posts that break them. Encourage sharers to check a community’s rules, and never blast the same link across many subreddits at once, Reddit’s spam filters watch for that pattern.

Can I track how many people click my Share on Reddit button?

Not with the raw reddit.com/submit URL, Reddit does not report that to you. If you shorten the share link with Flyn first, every click is logged, so you can see which article, newsletter, or page actually drives Reddit shares. That tells you where a share button earns its place and where it is just decoration.

How do I add a Share on Reddit button to my website?

Copy the HTML snippet the tool generates and paste it into your page or template; it is a plain anchor tag with target="_blank" and rel="noopener noreferrer" already set. For Markdown surfaces like READMEs, docs, or Notion, use the Markdown version instead. No JavaScript, no SDK, and nothing to load from Reddit.

What if the subreddit I typed does not exist or is private?

Reddit shows its own error or a restricted page when the composer cannot open in that community, so double-check the spelling before you publish the link. If you are not certain the community fits, leave the subreddit field empty; the composer then opens with the community picker and the sharer chooses one they know.

Get shared on Reddit, and know it happened

A share link removes the friction between a reader and a Reddit post. A Flyn link on top tells you which page, email, or README actually earned the share, so you can do more of what works.
