A short link in three clear steps
A focused URL-shortening utility. It turns an unwieldy address into a compact link that is easier to type, share, and scan.
Paste a destination
Enter the complete page you want people to reach. Standard HTTP and HTTPS addresses are accepted.
Choose your link
Use an automatically generated keyword, or add a memorable custom alias when it is available.
Share it anywhere
Copy the short link or use the QR code for print, presentations, social profiles, and messages.
Designed for sharing
Useful without an account
Create a link quickly while keeping control of the alias. Recent-link history stays on your device instead of requiring a profile.
Custom aliases
Choose a readable keyword for campaigns, handouts, or recurring resources.
Instant QR codes
Turn the latest short link into a scannable code and download it as a PNG — no second tool required.
Generated on your device
QR codes are rendered in your browser. No images or usage history are uploaded to our servers.
Automatic fallback
If the primary provider is down, the tool switches to another one so you still get a link.
Works on any device
Phone, tablet, or desktop — it runs entirely in the browser.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a short link stay active?
Link lifetime depends on the provider you choose. In general a link keeps working until it is deleted or reported for abuse. For links that must last — printed signage or published material — a shortener on your own domain is the safer choice.
Can two people shorten the same destination?
Yes. The same long URL can be shortened many times and produce different short links. A custom alias must be unique, because it identifies one destination.
Where is my recent-link history stored?
The recent links shown on this page are stored in your browser’s localStorage on this device. There is no account, and we do not keep your history on a server. You can clear the list at any time, and it will not follow you to another browser or device.
What should I avoid shortening?
Do not create links for malware, phishing, spam, illegal material, deceptive redirects, or content that violates another person’s rights. Abusive links may be removed by the provider at any time.
Why does this call an external provider?
This website is a static site with no database to store links in, so the tool calls free shortening services that allow direct browser requests. If you need a shortener on your own domain with click analytics and an admin panel, we can build it for you.
