// URL SHORTENING

Getting Started

$ How does URL shortening work?
Simply paste your long URL into our shortener, and we'll create a short, memorable link (like link-to.site/abc123) that redirects to your original URL. Every shortened URL comes with:
  • Detailed click analytics
  • QR code for easy sharing
  • Geographic and device tracking
  • Option to password-protect
$ Can I customize my short URLs?
Currently, short codes are automatically generated to ensure uniqueness and availability. Each code is 6 characters long, making them easy to share and remember.

Expiration & Renewal

$ Do shortened URLs expire?
Yes, to maintain service quality:
  • Free URLs: Expire after 30 days
  • Paid URLs: Valid for 365 days from creation
You'll receive email notifications before your URLs expire.
$ How do I renew expired URLs?
You can renew URLs from the "Expiring URLs" section in your dashboard:
  • Select the URLs you want to renew
  • Click "Renew Selected"
  • Each renewal uses 1 URL slot and extends validity by 365 days
There's a 30-day grace period after expiration during which you can still renew.
$ What is the auto-renew feature?
You can enable auto-renewal for important URLs. When enabled, the URL will automatically be renewed using an available slot from your account before it expires. Enable this in the URL edit modal.
