Our Story

The Original Link Shortener — Since 2002

Shortlinks was born out of a simple idea: the internet should be easier to navigate. Long, complex URLs create friction. We remove that friction — one short link at a time.

Our Mission

We believe every link tells a story. Our mission is to give individuals, businesses, and brands the tools to tell that story better — with cleaner, shorter, more trackable links that work everywhere.

From a simple paste-and-shorten tool to a full-featured link management platform with branded domains and real-time analytics, Shortlinks has grown alongside the web itself. Over two decades, we've helped create over 30 billion short links for users in every country on earth.

What We Stand For

Speed & Reliability

Every redirect happens in milliseconds. Our infrastructure is built for 99.9% uptime, so your links never let you down.

Privacy & Security

We take data protection seriously. All links are scanned for malware, and user data is handled with strict confidentiality.

Global Scale

From local businesses to Fortune 500 companies, our platform handles billions of redirects per month across the globe.

User-First Design

We build for real people. Every feature is designed to be simple, intuitive, and genuinely useful — no fluff, no bloat.
