Everything you need to share
A focused link shortener, without the noise.
tinyz.link does a few things carefully: it shortens links, makes them scannable, and helps people check them before opening.
A QR code with every link
Each new short URL comes with a QR code you can download as a crisp SVG for print, slides, labels, and packaging.
Check before you click
The short link checker shows a link’s stored destination, status, and expiry without opening it.
Expiry you control
Choose 3 days, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months. Expiry is shown in your detected time zone.
Automated safety checks
New destinations are screened after creation, and links to unsafe or prohibited destinations can be disabled.
Discreet chat previews
Chat apps that fetch link previews see a generic tinyz.link card, not your destination, and previews are not counted as visits.
How it works
Three simple steps. One clean link.
-
1
Paste your URL
Enter the full HTTP or HTTPS address you want to share in the shortener.
-
2
Choose your timing
Keep the default 30 days, or open Link options to pick a shorter period or up to 6 months with an email address.
-
3
Copy, scan, share
Use the short URL or its QR code wherever your audience will find it: messages, posts, print, or email.
Built for the real world
Made for the places where long URLs get in the way.
A short URL is easier to read, type, and trust at a glance, whether it appears in a message, a bio, or on a printed page.
-
Messages & chat
Keep conversations readable instead of pasting a wall of tracking parameters.
-
Social profiles
Use limited bio space for what matters, with a link people can recognise.
-
Print & packaging
Add the QR code to posters, menus, flyers, and labels so people can scan instead of type.
-
Email & SMS
Short links fit neatly in text messages and stay intact in plain-text email.
-
Events & invitations
Share registration pages and agendas with a link that expires when the event is over.
-
Documents & slides
Reference sources in presentations and handouts without breaking the layout.
Share responsibly
A short link should never be a mystery.
Long URLs often interrupt a useful message before someone has a chance to read it. tinyz.link turns a complete destination into a shorter address while preserving where that link leads. It does not grant access to a private page or change the destination’s own terms.
- Use the complete address. Start with a valid HTTP or HTTPS URL so the destination is clear.
- Give people context. A short label helps readers decide whether a link is relevant to them.
- Verify when in doubt. Review a destination and its expiry before opening or passing it on.

Good to know
Short-link questions, answered.
Review the basics before you create or share a new link.
Read the full URL shortener FAQHow do I create a short URL?
Enter a complete address beginning with http:// or https:// on the URL shortener, then select “Shorten URL”. Copy the result only after it appears. You do not need an account for a standard link.
Is tinyz.link free?
Yes. The public Service is free and does not require an account or an app. It is provided on an as-available basis, so do not rely on it as the sole record of an important destination or business-critical workflow.
How long is a short link available?
A link expires after 30 days by default. You can also choose 3 days or 7 days, or select 3 months or 6 months by providing an email address. The expiry shown after creation is displayed in your detected time zone when available; otherwise it is shown in UTC. Links can also be restricted or removed sooner for safety, abuse, legal, or operational reasons.
How can I check a tinyz.link short URL before opening it?
Use the short link checker and enter a tinyz.link URL or an @ short code. It shows the stored destination, status, and expiry in your detected time zone where available (or UTC). Checking a link does not redirect you, load the destination, or count as a destination visit. It is an informational lookup, not a security guarantee.
