About Us
Who we are and what we do
Welcome to ShortMyURL — a fast, free, and reliable URL shortener built to make sharing links simple. Whether you're a marketer running campaigns across multiple platforms, a developer integrating link shortening into your app via our REST API, or simply someone who wants a clean, memorable link to share, we built this service with you in mind.
Our Mission
Long, messy URLs are hard to share, remember, and track. Our mission is to give everyone — free of charge — a fast and dependable way to shorten links while providing the insights needed to understand how those links perform. We believe powerful tools shouldn't be locked behind paywalls, so the core shortening experience will always remain free.
What We Offer
- Instant single and bulk URL shortening
- Multi-domain support so you can brand your links
- Detailed click analytics — geography, device, browser, and referrer data
- Custom aliases so your links are memorable
- Password-protected links for sensitive content
- Automatic link expiry for time-limited campaigns
- Free QR code generation for every link
- A REST API for developers who want to integrate shortening into their own apps
How We Keep It Free
To keep our core service free for everyone, a small percentage of clicks on shortened links may be routed through a sponsor or advertising page before reaching the final destination. This lightweight ad-rotation model lets us cover server and maintenance costs without ever charging our users directly. Full transparency about this is provided on our homepage and in our Disclaimer.
