DM Link Generator
Generate a direct-message deep link for any Instagram username, pure string formatting.
Your DM link
Type a username to build your link.
Worth knowing before you use this: this link format isn’t guaranteed to work from Instagram Web on desktop — per Meta’s own documentation, it’s meant to be opened on mobile or in the Instagram app.
It also doesn’t support a pre-filled message — some other tools imply it does; Instagram’s own docs define no such parameter.
And it points at whatever username you type in right now — if that account changes its username later, this link keeps resolving to the old handle. Regenerate it if that happens.
Format:
https://ig.me/m/username — instagram.com/username only opens the profile, not a DM thread, which is the mix-up this format exists to avoid.
