Shorten long links with a QR code for every one. Custom slugs and click analytics on Pro.
Frequently asked questions
Do short links break the 'nothing leaves your browser' promise?
Short links are the one UtilStax feature that must live on a server: the redirect has to resolve for anyone who clicks it. A URL is not a file though - every file tool still processes entirely on your device, and click analytics never store visitor IPs or fingerprints.
How can I check where a short link goes before clicking it?
Add a plus sign to the end of any short link to open a preview page showing the destination without redirecting. It is a small safety habit worth having with any shortener, and it works on every link created here.
How long do links last and what does Pro add?
Anonymous links expire after 7 days. With a free account links persist, up to 20 active. Pro raises the cap to 500 and adds custom slugs, destination editing, and click analytics with daily charts plus referrer and country breakdowns.
