Short Link Generator

Overview
Generated by AI

A free online URL shortener that transforms long URLs into clean, memorable short links. Supports custom slugs, password protection, link expiration, and detailed click analytics -- all without installing any software.

Whether you need to share links on social media, track marketing campaign performance, or simply make unwieldy URLs easier to manage, this tool provides a complete link management solution with built-in analytics.

Core Features

  • Custom slugs: Choose your own short URL path instead of a random string
  • Password protection: Restrict access to your links with a password
  • Configurable expiration: Set links to expire from 1 day up to 10 years
  • Multiple domains: Select from several available short domains
  • Click analytics: Detailed breakdown by country, device, browser, OS, language, and referer
  • Link history: Browse, manage, and delete your previously created links

How to Use

  1. Paste the destination URL into the input field
  2. Select a domain from the available options
  3. Optionally set a custom slug (e.g., "my-link"), or leave blank for auto-generation
  4. Optionally add a password and adjust the expiration period (default 30 days)
  5. Click "Generate Short Link" to create your URL

The generated short link appears immediately and can be copied with one click.

Switch to the History tab to see all links you have created. Each entry shows the short URL, original destination, creation date, expiration, and password status. You can copy or delete any link directly from the list. History requires signing in.

Checking Analytics

Switch to the Analytics tab, enter a short link URL, select a time period (7, 14, 30, 90, 180, or 365 days), and click Query. The dashboard displays:

  • KPI summary: Total clicks, average clicks per day, unique countries, and top device type
  • Timeline chart: Click trend over the selected period
  • Doughnut charts: Device, browser, and OS distribution
  • Breakdown lists: Country, city, language, region, and referer with proportional bars

Use Cases

  • Social media sharing: Shorten long product or article URLs for cleaner posts on Twitter, LinkedIn, or messaging apps
  • Email campaigns: Track click-through rates on newsletter links by reviewing the analytics dashboard
  • Temporary access: Share password-protected links with an expiration date for confidential documents or time-limited promotions
  • Event marketing: Create branded custom slugs like "your-domain/summer-sale" for offline-to-online campaigns
