Short links that work harder for your brand

A generic short link gets the job done, but a branded short link on your own domain earns more trust and more clicks. With a free TNY account you can add your domain, pick custom slugs, turn any link into an editable QR code, and see exactly how each link performs. It's a simpler, cheaper Bitly alternative.

Keep your links forever, add your domain, and track every click — free to start.

Frequently asked questions

Is this URL shortener free?
Yes. You can shorten a link instantly with no account. Free anonymous links last 30 days — sign up (also free) to keep them permanently, track clicks, and use your own domain.
Do the short links expire?
Anonymous links created without an account expire 30 days after creation. Links you create in a free TNY account never expire as long as they're active.
Can I track how many people click my short link?
Anonymous links don't include analytics. Create a link in a TNY account and you'll see click counts plus device, location, and referrer breakdowns.
Can I use my own domain or a custom back-half?
Yes, with an account. Branded domains (yourbrand.link/sale) and custom slugs are part of the Pro plan, so every link runs on your brand instead of a generic short domain.
What is a URL shortener?
A URL shortener turns a long web address into a short, shareable link that redirects to the original page. A dynamic shortener like TNY also lets you re-point the link later and measure how it performs.
