What is a URL shortener?
A URL shortener converts a long, unwieldy web address into a short, shareable link that redirects to the original destination. Short links are easier to share on social media, fit inside character limits, look cleaner in print, and — with a tool like Shorteen — unlock click analytics you can't get from a raw URL.
Why choose Shorteen?
Most shorteners force you to create an account the moment you want analytics or the ability to edit a link. Shorteen takes a different approach: every link you create comes with a secret dashboard URL that gives you account-grade control — analytics, editing, expiry, QR codes — without any login, email, or password.
It's privacy-first too. We compute aggregate analytics only and never store raw IP addresses, so you get insight into your audience without compromising theirs.

- Paste your long URL into the box above.

- Press “Shorten” to get your short link and QR code.
- Save the private dashboard link to track and edit it later.
URL shortener FAQ
Is this URL shortener really free?+
Yes. Shortening links, analytics, QR codes, and the API are all free, with no ads and no signup.
Can I use a custom short link?+
Yes — expand Advanced options and enter a custom alias. If it's available, your link becomes shorteen.com/your-alias.
How long do short links last?+
Forever by default. You can optionally set an expiry date or a maximum number of clicks when you create the link.
Can I edit the destination after creating a link?+
Yes. Use the private dashboard link you receive at creation time to edit the destination, set expiry, disable, or delete the link — no login needed.
What's the difference between a URL shortener and a website shortener?+
They're the same thing — a website address is a URL. Whether you call it a URL shortener or a website shortener, Shorteen takes the long web address of any page and turns it into a short, shareable link that forwards visitors to the original site.
Does shortening a URL affect SEO?+
No. Choose the permanent 301 option and the short link passes link equity to your destination, while the redirect itself is set to noindex so it never competes with your real pages in search.
