Frequently asked questions
A URL shortener creates a much shorter web address that redirects to your original, longer link. When someone opens the short link, they are automatically sent to the original page. Short links are easier to share in messages, social posts and printed material.
Paste your full link (starting with http:// or https://) into the box at the top of this page and click “Shorten URL”. Your short link appears right below, ready to copy.
Yes. Click “Copy Link” to copy it to your clipboard, then paste it anywhere: chat apps, email, social media or documents. Anyone who opens it is redirected to your original page.
Common reasons include:
- The link doesn’t start with
http://orhttps://, or isn’t a complete web address. - The link is longer than 2,048 characters.
- The link points to a local or private network address, or contains a username and password.
- Too many links were shortened in a short time. Wait a minute and try again.
- A network problem, or the shortening service is temporarily unavailable.
Not guaranteed. Link availability depends on the configured shortening service and its policies. Links may be removed, for example if they are reported for spam, phishing or other abuse, or if the service changes.
For anything important, keep a copy of your original URL.
