YouTube Subscribe Link Generator

A subscribe link is a channel address with ?sub_confirmation=1 added to the end. When someone opens it in a browser, YouTube shows the channel with a "Subscribe to this channel?" prompt, so they can subscribe in one click instead of hunting for the button.

This generator builds the link for any channel, as a readable @handle link or as a channel ID link that keeps working if the handle changes. It also gives ready-to-paste HTML and Markdown, and a QR code you can download as SVG for print or PNG for slides. Creators put these links in descriptions, end screens, emails, bios and on posters. Nobody is subscribed without pressing the button themselves.

Adding ?sub_confirmation=1 to a channel's address makes YouTube open it with a Subscribe to this channel? prompt, so a viewer subscribes in one click instead of looking for the button. It's the link creators put in descriptions, end screens, emails, bios and websites.

Nobody is subscribed without confirming: the viewer has to be signed in and press Subscribe. The link only saves them a step.
