Tiny URL generator
Make tiny links, small URLs and little links that are easy to share — and give them a name people can read.
A tiny URL is simply a very short link that redirects to a longer one. Classic tiny URL services give you a random code on their own domain. Here you get the same one-click tiny link, plus the option to use your own domain and a readable name.
Tiny links you create with an account stay editable: change the destination, add a QR code or check how many people opened it.
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.

Tiny link with a custom name
Random codes are hard to remember. A custom tiny URL like yourbrand.link/menu is just as short and much easier to say, type and trust.
TinyURL alternative
If you already use a tiny URL service, you can import your links and keep the same codes on a domain you control. See the TinyURL alternative page for a full comparison.
Small links for print
Every tiny link comes with a QR code (PNG, SVG or PDF), so the same link works on a poster, a menu or a business card.
