URL Shortener

Shorten long URLs into clean short links on this domain.

Shorten Long URLs

Paste a long link and get a clean, short URL hosted on this domain. Short links are easier to share in messages, on social media, in print, and anywhere character count or tidiness matters.

How it works

  • Paste any public http or https URL
  • Get a short link on this site's domain
  • The same URL reuses its existing short link
  • Click to open or copy with one tap

Why shorten URLs?

Short links are cleaner to share, fit within strict character limits, and are far less likely to break when wrapped in emails or pasted into chat apps.

Where short links point

Each short link stores the original destination on the server and redirects to it when visited. Because the link lives on this domain, it stays under your control rather than depending on a third-party shortener.

Use responsibly

Only public URLs can be shortened. Please don't use short links to disguise malicious or deceptive destinations — link shorteners work best when people can trust where they lead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the URL Shortener.

How does the URL shortener work?
You paste a long public URL and get a short link hosted on this domain. The link stores your destination and redirects to it when visited.
Will the same URL always get the same short link?
Yes. Shortening a URL that was shortened before reuses its existing short link instead of creating a duplicate.
Do the short links expire?
Short links are kept on the server and remain active. Only public http and https URLs can be shortened.
