Shortened URL to Link

Paste a long URL and turn it into a clean short link you can share anywhere. Add a title, generate a QR code, set an expiry time, protect it with a password, and manage access when the original address should not travel as a raw long URL.

Guests can create quick short links. Signed-in users get more daily URL links, saved share management, longer retention, and stronger access controls.

Shorten a long URL

Save a web URL

Paste a web address, add an optional title, and save it as a shareable link.

https://

Only HTTP and HTTPS URLs are supported. The generated link keeps the saved address available with your selected access settings.

Create a short URL in three steps

Use the URL tab to convert a long web address into a short link with context, QR sharing, and optional security settings.

  1. 01

    Paste the long URL

    Enter the web address you want to shorten. Missing https:// is added automatically, and the domain can be used as the title when you leave the title field empty.

  2. 02

    Generate the short link

    Create a share page for the original URL, then copy the short link, full handoff details, or QR code for mobile access.

  3. 03

    Add protection if needed

    Set an expiry time, password protection, burn-after-read, or other access controls when the short link should only work for a limited audience or period.

A short link tool with sharing controls

Shorten URLs while keeping the practical controls teams need: QR code, title, expiry time, password protection, and managed access.

Shorten long URLs

Turn a long address into one clean link that is easier to paste into chats, forms, emails, tickets, and profiles.

  • Paste HTTP or HTTPS URLs and normalize addresses without a scheme.
  • Use a custom title or keep the domain name as the fallback.
  • Replace a raw long URL with a shorter shareable link.

Share by link or QR code

Use the generated short link across channels and show a QR code when recipients need to open it from a phone.

  • Copy only the short link when a field accepts a single URL.
  • Copy full details when password or expiry notes need to travel with it.
  • Use QR codes for events, printed materials, device testing, and mobile handoffs.

Control short link access

Protect temporary, private, or client-facing URLs without sending the original long address directly.

  • Set expiry time for campaigns, staging links, event pages, and temporary resources.
  • Add password protection before sharing private or limited-audience links.
  • Use stronger retention and access controls when your URL sharing volume grows.

When a short URL is better than a long URL

Use shortened URL links when the original address is long, fragile, private, temporary, or difficult to share cleanly.

  • Clean links for forms

    Paste the generated short link into submissions, CRMs, spreadsheets, bios, and records when the original URL is too long.

  • Campaign and event links

    Create short URLs with QR codes and expiry times for posters, booths, classrooms, meetups, and printed handouts.

  • Client review URLs

    Shorten design previews, staging pages, video review links, or document URLs while keeping title and access controls attached.

  • Private resource handoff

    Use password protection and expiry when sharing dashboards, downloads, partner resources, or internal links.

  • Research and reference links

    Save long article, report, product, or source URLs as titled short links that are easier to revisit.

  • Cross-channel sharing

    Send the same managed short URL through chat, email, tickets, and mobile without rewriting context each time.

Make short links easier to trust

A short URL is easier to send when it also carries context, security settings, and a clear lifetime.

Use a clear title

Name the short link after the page, campaign, task, client, or resource so recipients know what they are opening.

Set an expiry time

Use shorter retention for event pages, staging URLs, review links, and resources that should not stay open indefinitely.

Add a password

Protect short links that point to private resources, client work, temporary files, or internal tools.

Share the QR code

Use QR codes when the short link needs to move from print, desktop, or presentation screens to a phone.

Choose the right short link limits

Choose more daily short URL creation, saved share management, longer retention, and stronger access controls as your link sharing needs grow.
