URL Shortener

Turn any long link into a short, shareable URL in seconds. Paste, shorten, copy — with a history of your recent links for the session.

Privacy note: the URL is sent to a third-party service (cleanuri.com) to create the redirect — that is how URL shorteners work. Do not shorten private or sensitive links. Your history stays only in this browser for the session.

How it works

Paste a long URL and click SHORTEN. The tool sends it to a shortening service that returns a compact link like cleanuri.com/Ab12Cd — much easier to share in messages, posts or print. Opening the short link redirects to the original address.

How to use this tool

  1. Paste the long URL you want to shorten.
  2. Click SHORTEN.
  3. Copy the short link with one click — or open it to test.

Privacy note

Shortening a link means sending it to a third-party service (cleanuri.com) — that is how URL shorteners work: the service stores the mapping and handles the redirect. Do not use this tool for sensitive links you would not share with a link-shortening provider. Everything else stays in your browser.

Your privacy

No accounts, no tracking by this site. Your history is kept only in your browser for the current session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the short link permanent?+

Short links from the service are designed to be long-lasting, but like any URL shortener, they depend on the provider keeping the service running. For critical links, keep the original too.

Does the link expire?+

No fixed expiry. The short link redirects as long as the service stores the mapping — there is no time limit applied.

Is my link private?+

The URL is sent to a third-party shortening service so it can create the redirect — that is how all URL shorteners work. Avoid shortening private or sensitive links; use it for public URLs.

Can I customize the short code?+

The free service generates a random short code automatically. Custom codes require a paid provider account, which is out of scope for this free tool.

Why do I get an error?+

The URL must be complete (with https://) and reachable. Check for typos, spaces or missing slashes, then try again.

Does the tool track my data?+

No. There are no accounts and no tracking by this site. Your history is stored only in your browser for the session.
