Custom URL shortener
Shorten a URL with a custom name you choose — yourbrand.com/offer instead of a random code.
A custom URL shortener lets you pick the part after the slash (the back-half). A custom name tells people what they will get before they click, is easy to say out loud and is easy to remember.
Custom names are included on the free plan, on our shared short domain or on your own domain.
Shorten your link
Free, instant, no ads. A QR code comes with it.
Public shortening is paused while the dedicated short-link domain is being connected. Connect a domain you own to make short links.

Rename a link any time
Changed your mind about the name? Edit the back-half or the destination later. If a name is taken, you will see a suggestion instead.
Personalized links on your own domain
Connect a domain you own so the whole link is personal: go.yourname.com/portfolio. Vanity URLs like this are free on every plan.
Case, reserved words and duplicates
Each domain decides whether names are case-sensitive and which words are reserved, so nobody on your team takes /login or /admin by accident.
