Question 1

What kind of links can I shorten?

Accepted Answer

You can shorten any link as long as it uses http:// or https://. Important: we currently limit IP address shortening and do not yet support Deep Linking (opening apps automatically) for security reasons.

Question 2

What is a Custom Alias?

Accepted Answer

It's a 'brand' for your link! Instead of random codes, you can use your own words (e.g., yourname/mybirthday). Minimum 4 characters required and it must be unique.

Question 3

What is the Link Title for?

Accepted Answer

This is purely for your own reference! It won't appear on the shortened link, but it helps you identify and organize your links in the statistics dashboard later.

Question 4

What about Expiry and Passwords?

Accepted Answer

Expiry lets you set an automatic 'kill date' for your link (great for limited promos). Password secures your link; only those with the key can enter. Totally safe!

Question 5

What are UTM Parameters used for?

Accepted Answer

This is a 'ninja' tool for marketers. You can add source, medium, and campaign tags so you can track exactly where your visitors are coming from in Google Analytics.

Question 6

Direct Redirect vs Waiting Page?

Accepted Answer

Direct Redirect is instant—click and you're there. The Waiting Page (5 seconds) adds a short delay before redirecting; perfect for quick branding or a safety check.

Question 7

Do I need to register an account?

Accepted Answer

No registration required! We want everything to be fast. You can use all features immediately without the hassle of sign-ups or email verification.

Question 8

Can I edit a link after it's created?

Accepted Answer

Curently, once a link is shortened, its destination cannot be changed. Please make sure your original link is correct before hitting the Shorten button!

Question 9

What kind of links are prohibited?

Accepted Answer

We strictly forbid using this service for illegal activities: spam, phishing, gambling, pornography, or other harmful content. Violating links will be permanently deleted!

Question 10

Is my data safe (Privacy)?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry, we don't sell your data. We only track anonymous statistics (like country and device type) to help you monitor link performance. Your personal identity is safe.

Question 11

Can I use the QR Code for printing?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! The QR Codes we generate are standard and readable by all smartphones. Feel free to download and use them for posters, business cards, or any branding needs.

Question 12

Can my Alias be taken over by an admin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While rare, admins reserve the right to take over or delete specific aliases if necessary (e.g., for policy violations, brand disputes, or long-term inactivity).

Question 13

Is there an API for developers?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If you need automated integration for your business or app, please contact the admin to get access to our API documentation.
