URL Shortener

Turn any long URL into a short, shareable link with optional custom slug and click tracking.

Marketers shorten tracking URLs for tweets; teams share internal doc links.

How to use it

  1. Paste your long URL

    Enter the full destination URL — including any tracking parameters — into the input field.

  2. Set a custom slug (optional)

    Type a memorable path like "spring-sale", or leave it blank to get a short random code.

  3. Copy, share, and track

    Copy the short link and share it anywhere. Watch total clicks for each link in your created-links list.

Why use this tool?

Long URLs are a problem in a lot of places: they blow past character limits on social platforms, wrap awkwardly in emails, are impossible to read aloud or type from a flyer, and look untrustworthy with a trail of tracking parameters. A short link fixes all of that — it is clean, fits anywhere, and with a custom slug like /s/blackfriday it is even memorable and on-brand. This shortener turns any long URL into a tidy short link in one step, with an optional custom slug or an auto-generated code. It also counts clicks per link, so you can see which channel or post is actually driving traffic — useful for measuring a campaign without a heavyweight analytics setup. To make the redirect work, only the destination URL is stored; no personal data or IP addresses are collected, and links last until you delete them. It is free, with no account required.

Common use cases

Social media

Fit links within character limits and tidy up previews on X, Instagram bios, and other platforms.

Marketing campaigns

Create branded, memorable links for print, ads, and email, and compare clicks across channels.

Print & offline

Use a short, typeable link on flyers, posters, slides, and business cards where a long URL is unusable.

Internal sharing

Shorten unwieldy dashboard, wiki, or document URLs to paste cleanly into chat.

QR codes

Encode a short link in a QR code so the pattern is simpler and easier to scan than a long URL.

Frequently asked questions

Are short links permanent?

Yes. They keep working until you choose to delete them.

Is my URL stored?

Yes — the destination URL is stored so the redirect can work. Only the URL is kept; no personal data is collected.

Are clicks tracked?

A total click count is recorded per link. No IP addresses or personal identifiers are stored.

Can I choose my own short code?

Yes. Set a custom slug to make the link memorable, or leave it blank for an automatically generated code.

What happens if my custom slug is taken?

Slugs are unique, so if one is already in use you’ll be asked to pick another.

Can I use my own domain?

Not currently — all links use the default short domain.

Do the links work with tracking parameters?

Yes. The full destination, including UTM and other query parameters, is preserved on redirect.

Is it free?

Yes — shorten and track as many links as you need for free, with no sign-up.
