Frequently Asked Questions
Is the URL Shortener free?
Yes. Shortening links is free with no signup and no usage credits.
Can I choose the text of my short link?
Yes. Enter a custom alias of 4 to 32 characters using letters, numbers, dashes, or underscores. If the alias is already taken, choose another one.
Do short links expire?
Links created here do not expire automatically.
What URLs are not allowed?
Links that point to private network addresses, malware, or phishing pages are blocked. Links that are already short links from other shortening services are rejected to prevent redirect chains.
Is my original URL visible to others?
Anyone who has the short link can visit the destination, so do not shorten links that depend on staying secret.
