Shorten Long URLs in Seconds

Convert long website addresses into compact links that are easier to share in messages, social media posts, emails, documents, and promotional campaigns. Each short link points visitors to your selected destination.

Generate QR Codes Instantly

Create a QR code for your short link and share it on printed materials, product packaging, posters, presentations, business cards, or digital campaigns. Download QR codes in supported formats for convenient use across your marketing channels.

Track Clicks and Link Performance

Review available click analytics to understand how your links are performing. Use click trends, device information, and referrer data to evaluate engagement and identify which sharing channels are bringing visitors to your links.

Create Custom Short Aliases

Make links easier to recognize by using custom short codes, such as a campaign name or a memorable label. Custom aliases are available with DevToolbox Pro, subject to alias availability and validation rules.

Add UTM Parameters for Campaign Tracking

Build campaign URLs with UTM parameters such as source, medium, campaign, term, and content. These parameters help compatible analytics platforms distinguish traffic from different campaigns and placements.

For example, you can create separate tracked links for a newsletter, a social media post, and a paid advertising campaign while directing visitors to the same destination.

Protect Links with a Password

Use password protection for supported links when you want visitors to enter a password before being redirected. This feature is available with DevToolbox Pro. Password protection should not be treated as a replacement for a secure, access-controlled document or application.

Set Link Expiration Dates

Schedule a link to expire when a promotion, event, or campaign ends. Expired links stop redirecting according to their configured expiration settings, while their records remain available as supported by the tool.

Shorten Multiple URLs in Bulk

Save time when working with large sets of links. DevToolbox Pro supports bulk link creation by pasting multiple URLs or supplying CSV-formatted input, with up to 100 URLs per batch.

Manage and Edit Saved Links

Use your account dashboard to review saved links, update supported settings, disable links, and inspect available analytics. DevToolbox Pro users can edit destination URLs without consuming their monthly link-creation quota.

1. Enter the full destination URL you want to shorten.

2. Add an optional link title to help identify it later.

3. Configure a custom alias, UTM parameters, expiration date, or password if those options are relevant to your use case and plan.

4. Select the shorten action to generate your short link and QR code.

5. Copy the short URL, download the QR code, and share it with your audience.

6. Sign in to your DevToolbox account to save links and access the available dashboard and analytics features.

Always check that the destination URL is correct before sharing your short link.
