What is a URL shortener?

A URL shortener turns long links into shorter URLs that are easier to share in messages, social posts, and printed materials.

Can I shorten any website link?

You can shorten most valid public URLs. Avoid shortening unsafe, private, or restricted links that users should not access.

Do short links expire?

Expiration behavior depends on service configuration. If a short link stops working, regenerate it and verify the destination URL.

Is a short URL always safe to click?

Not always. Users should still verify unknown links before opening them, especially in security-sensitive environments.
