ShortLink

Short links that count their clicks

A free link shortener. Turn a long link into a short one, share it anywhere, change where it leads later, and see how many people opened it.

What you get

Where to use them

Use a separate short link for each place you share it and add a note to it. The click counts show which places bring visitors.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?
Yes. Creating an account, shortening links and counting clicks costs nothing. To prevent abuse, the number of links one account can create per day is limited.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Links and their click counts belong to your account, so only you can see, edit or delete them. Sign up with an email address and a password, and confirm the address to start creating links.
Can I change where a short link leads?
Yes. Edit the destination in your account and the same short link leads to the new address, including copies you already shared, printed or posted.
How are clicks counted?
Each time someone opens a short link, its counter goes up by one. Bots, link previews and browser prefetches are left out, no cookies are set, and who opened a link isn’t recorded.
Which links can I shorten?
Any http:// or https:// address up to 2,048 characters. Destinations that hide where a link leads, such as other link shorteners, bare IP addresses or addresses with a password in them, are refused, and destinations reported as harmful are blocked.
What happens when I delete a link?
The short link stops working right away, and its click count is deleted with it. Deleting your account deletes all your links.
