Hyperlink Generator: Free HTML Link Code Creator Tool
What is a Hyperlink Generator?
Discover how this tool simplifies the process of creating perfect, attribute-rich links for any platform.
More Than Just a Link
A Hyperlink Generator is a powerful tool that helps you create HTML links (also known as anchor tags or `` tags) with all the necessary attributes. Instead of manually typing out complex code, you can use a simple interface to define the link's URL, text, and various behaviors, and the tool will generate the clean, correct code for you.
For Every Format
Modern web content isn't just HTML. Our generator understands this and provides output in multiple formats. You can instantly get the code for:
- HTML: The standard for all websites.
- Markdown: Used in README files, forums like Reddit, and static site generators.
- BBCode: A popular format for traditional forums and message boards.
Understanding Link Attributes
Each attribute controls a different aspect of your link's behavior, security, and SEO. Learn what they do.
Behavior Attributes
These attributes control how the link functions when a user clicks it.
- Target: This determines where the link opens. _blank is the most common, opening the link in a new tab, which is best practice for external links.
- Title: This provides extra information that appears as a tooltip when a user hovers over the link.
Security & SEO (`rel` Attributes)
The `rel` attribute tells search engines and browsers about the relationship between your page and the linked page.
- nofollow: Tells search engines not to pass any "link juice" or authority to the linked page. Essential for user-generated content or paid links.
- noopener: A crucial security attribute that prevents the new tab from gaining access to the original page's `window` object.
- noreferrer: Prevents the browser from sending the original page's address as a referrer to the new page.
- sponsored / ugc: Newer attributes that specifically tell Google if a link is a paid advertisement or user-generated content.

Manually writing code is prone to mistakes. A generator ensures clean, compliant, and optimized links every time.

Your Questions, Answered
Get clear answers to common questions about creating and using hyperlinks.
Do I need `noopener` and `noreferrer`?
When using `target="_blank"` to open a link in a new tab, it is highly recommended to always include `rel="noopener"` for security. Most modern browsers now add this behavior by default, but including it ensures protection on older browsers. `noreferrer` provides an extra layer of privacy and is also good practice, though less critical than `noopener`.
