A marketer who sends one campaign link to several places can see which one brought each click. ShortLink tags the link with UTM parameters, checks the destination, and counts clicks as they happen, with rough location. A developer can do the same through the API.

ShortLink by Fulin Labs is a hosted URL shortener built for people who want to see what happens after a click: real-time analytics and geo data rather than a counter that updates once a day. Verified-account creation and destination safety checks keep the redirect service focused on legitimate links.

Many URL shorteners trade safety or useful data for convenience. ShortLink combines managed aliases and an API with real-time tracking, folders, QR codes, and reputation checks before a destination can be published.

Paste a long URL while signed in with a verified account, optionally set a custom alias, and ShortLink checks the destination before generating a short link and QR code. Every click is tracked in real time, including rough geographic origin, with a UTM builder for tagging campaigns and color-coded folders for keeping links organized. The RESTful API exposes the same verified link-management workflow for your own scripts and apps.

Developers who want programmatic link management via the API and marketers who need campaign links, UTM tags, folders, QR codes, and real-time usage data under verified-account controls.

Anonymous links expire after 7 days; custom aliases, permanent links, folders, analytics and the API need sign-in. Two ShortLink tools do not touch the shortener at all and are open to anyone:

  • QR code generator — turn any link or text into a QR code and download it as a PNG or an SVG, with control over size, colours, and error correction.
  • UTM builder — assemble a campaign URL and get warned about the casing and spacing mistakes that split one campaign across several report rows.

Both are pure browser computation: what you type into them is never sent to a server.

FAQ

What is ShortLink?

ShortLink is a free hosted URL shortener with destination safety checks, real-time analytics, custom aliases, QR codes, a UTM builder, geo tracking, folders, and a RESTful API.

Do I need an account to use ShortLink?

Not for a single anonymous link. Anonymous shortening works behind a human check, a destination safety check and rate limits; those links expire after 7 days and cannot have a custom alias. Custom aliases, permanent links, folders, analytics and the API need sign-in.

Does ShortLink host public pages or files?

No. Public page and file-hosting features are disabled; ShortLink is focused on checked redirects and link analytics.

Is there an API?

Yes, ShortLink exposes a RESTful API so you can create and manage short links programmatically.
