Free URL shortener

Shorten a long URL

Turn a long url into something short enough for email, chat, docs, forums, ads, and social posts.

Fast sharing

Clean up messy URLs

Tracking parameters, product filters, and search URLs can get ugly fast. ShortURL gives you a compact link that is easier to paste and less likely to break in a message.

Everyday use

Works where people already share

Use shortened links in newsletters, SMS, Slack, WhatsApp, PDFs, spreadsheets, support replies, and public posts. One short link is easier to handle than a full browser URL.

Consistency

Use one short domain again and again

ShortURL gives repeat shares a familiar look, whether the link goes in a newsletter, support reply, PDF, spreadsheet, or campaign note.

More control

Use advanced options when a link matters

Create an account when you need saved links, custom endings, QR codes, API access, browser tools, password protection, expiration settings, or a full dashboard.
