Free URL shortener with real click analytics
Turn any long link into linkly.li/yourlink — pick a custom alias, track every click by country and device, and edit the destination anytime without breaking a link you've already shared.
Free plan · No credit card · 5 short links to start
Everything a link needs, built in
Custom alias
Pick a readable alias instead of a random string of characters.
Password protection
Require a password before a visitor reaches the destination.
Scheduled links
Set a start and/or expiry date — the link activates or deactivates on its own.
Full click analytics
Clicks by day, country, city, device and referrer — not just a total count.
Custom domain
Short links on yourdomain.com instead of a shared domain.
Pair with a QR code
Every short link can generate a matching QR code for print, one click away.
Built for how you actually share links
Social media & bio links
Clean, memorable links for posts and profile bios — with click data to see what actually gets tapped.
Marketing campaigns
A different short link per channel or ad, so clicks per campaign are visible without a separate analytics tool.
Print & offline
Short, easy-to-type links for flyers, packaging and business cards — pair one with a QR code for both options at once.
Customer support & sales
Share a clean link over WhatsApp, SMS or email instead of a long tracking URL.
Live in under a minute
Frequently asked questions
Is this URL shortener free?
Yes. The free plan includes 5 short links per month with a live URL — no credit card and no time limit.
Can I customize the short URL?
Yes — pick your own alias (like linkly.li/summer-sale) instead of a random code, as long as it's not already taken.
Do shortened links expire?
Only if you set a date. You can schedule a link to start working on a future date and/or stop working after an expiry date — otherwise it stays live indefinitely.
Can I password-protect a link?
Yes — anyone opening the link has to enter a password before being redirected.
What analytics do I get?
Total clicks per link, plus a breakdown by day, country, city, device and referrer, visible in your dashboard.
Can I use my own domain for short links?
Yes. Point a CNAME record at your domain and your short links load at yourdomain.com/code instead of linkly.li.
Can I edit where a link points after sharing it?
Yes — the destination URL can be changed anytime from your dashboard. The short link itself doesn't change, so anywhere you've already shared it keeps working.
