Frequently asked questions

Paste your long URL on the home page and press Shorten. You'll instantly get a short link, a QR code, and a private dashboard link to manage it — no account needed.

No. Shorteen has no accounts, logins, or passwords. Control of each link is tied to a secret dashboard URL we give you when you create it.

Yes. In Advanced options, enter a custom alias. If it's available, your link becomes shorteen.com/your-alias.

Open the private dashboard link you received at creation time. From there you can edit the destination, set expiry, disable, or delete the link.

The short link keeps working, but you won't be able to view its analytics or edit it. Save or bookmark the dashboard URL when you create a link.

Yes. Set an expiry date or a maximum number of clicks. After that, the link shows an 'expired' page instead of redirecting.

Yes. Add a password in Advanced options and visitors must enter it before being redirected.

Total clicks, a daily time series, top referrers, countries, devices, and browsers — all without an account.

No. We use the IP only transiently to derive a country and a salted hash for abuse prevention, then discard it. Raw IPs are never stored.

Not when implemented correctly. Shorteen uses fast redirects and offers a permanent 301 option that passes link equity. Redirect pages are marked noindex so they don't dilute search results.

Use 302 (the default) if you might change the destination later, since it keeps the link editable. Use 301 for permanent links where you want maximum SEO link-equity transfer and hard caching.

Yes. Each QR points to a short link, so you can change the destination from your dashboard without reprinting the code.
