Why shorten your URLs?

A short link is easier to share, looks more trustworthy, and tells you far more than a raw URL ever could.

Branded and trusted

A clean linx.ly/your-brand link looks credible in bios, emails, and ads — people click links they recognize.

Every click tracked

See how many people clicked, from which country, device, and source — data a plain URL never gives you.

Editable destination

Point a short link somewhere new any time without reprinting or resharing it. The link stays; the target changes.

Short for every channel

Fits neatly in SMS, printed flyers, social bios, and video captions where long URLs break or get cut off.

Everything your short links can do

Everything you need to create, manage, and track links at scale.

Custom back-half

Choose a memorable slug like linx.ly/your-brand for every link.

Editable Destination URL

Change any link's destination URL anytime — no broken links, ever.

Time-based redirection

Schedule links to redirect to different URLs based on time of day.

Password protected

Add a password to any link and control exactly who can access it.

Expiring Links

Set an expiry date on any link — perfect for limited-time offers.

QR Code customization

Generate branded QR codes with custom colors and logos in seconds.

Open Graph customization

Set custom titles, descriptions, and images for rich social media previews.
