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.
Sign up freeFrequently 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.
