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.

- Social media bios and posts
- Newsletters and email campaigns
- Printed flyers, posters and business cards
- Messages and chats with a length limit
- Slides and presentations
- Links you plan to update later
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.
