The web is full of great things to share. The links pointing to those things? Not always so great.
A product page can have a ridiculously long URL. A campaign link can be packed with tracking parameters. A blog post might come with a path that looks more like a secret code than something you actually want to share.
That is where ShortMyURL comes in.
ShortMyURL is a free URL shortener built to make long web addresses shorter, cleaner, and easier to share. Whether you're sending a link to a friend, posting on social media, promoting a product, sharing a campaign, or adding a URL to printed material, we believe your link should get out of the way and let the destination do the talking.
Our Mission
Our goal is simple: make sharing links easier for everyone.
You shouldn't need technical knowledge, expensive software, or a complicated setup just to create a useful short link. ShortMyURL is designed around a straightforward experience: paste your URL, create your short link, and share it.
For people who need more control, ShortMyURL also provides tools for creating memorable custom aliases, organizing links, understanding click activity, and working with links at scale.
In other words, we want to keep the simple stuff simple while giving you room to do more when you need it.
More Than Just a Short URL
A shortened link is useful on its own, but we think there's more to a good link than simply making it shorter.
With ShortMyURL, you can create custom short URLs that are easier to recognize and remember. You can also generate QR codes, monitor click activity, and manage your links from one place.
For businesses, marketers, creators, and teams, these tools can turn a basic shortened URL into something much more useful — a small but practical part of your sharing and marketing workflow.
ShortMyURL also supports API-based workflows and batch link processing, making it possible to work with large numbers of URLs without turning the process into a repetitive copy-and-paste marathon.
Free Means Free
ShortMyURL is built to be accessible.
You can create short URLs for free, and you don't need to enter a credit card just to get started. You can also create links without an account when you simply need to shorten something quickly.
If you create links regularly, a free account gives you additional ways to save, manage, and track your links in one place.
We believe useful link tools shouldn't be locked behind unnecessary complexity.
Links That Stick Around
Nobody wants to print a short URL on a flyer, business card, presentation, or product package only to discover later that the link has expired.
ShortMyURL links are designed without a built-in expiration date, so once you've created a link, you can continue using and sharing it as long as the link remains active on our service.
That makes ShortMyURL useful for both quick everyday sharing and links you expect to keep using over time.
Built for Real-World Sharing
ShortMyURL can be useful anywhere a long URL gets in the way.
Share a product page in a message. Add a campaign link to a social post. Put a memorable URL on a poster. Turn a website address into a QR code. Track clicks on a link you've shared.
The use case might be small. The link might be tiny. But removing friction from everyday sharing can make a surprisingly big difference.
That's the idea behind ShortMyURL.
Keep It Short. Keep It Simple.
We don't think URL shortening needs to be complicated.
Our focus is to build a fast, practical, and easy-to-use platform that helps people create better links without unnecessary barriers.
Whether you're shortening your first URL or managing thousands of links through an API, ShortMyURL is here to make the process simpler.
Short link. Less clutter. More useful sharing.
That's ShortMyURL.
