Free Link Shortener & URL Shortener

A URL shortener takes long, complex web addresses and converts them into short, clean links. Instead of sharing something like "amazon.com/dp/B09V3KXJPB?ref=sr_1_1&keywords=headphones...", you can share "linktw.in/headphones". Short URLs are easier to share, look more professional, and can be tracked to see how many people click them.

Yes. The free plan gives you 10 links and 500 clicks a month, with click analytics, QR codes and app deep linking, and no credit card. On the free plan you can shorten links to the 100+ supported apps and to popular websites. Paid plans add any destination, editing links after you share them, and more links and clicks. Custom aliases come from the Medium plan, and your own domain comes from the Medium plan. See pricing for each plan.

Basic URL shorteners like Bitly or TinyURL send every click to a web page. LinkTwin short links are deep links: on a phone they open the right app, so an Amazon link opens the Amazon app where people are signed in, and a YouTube link opens the YouTube app. Website links open in the real browser instead of the one built into Instagram or TikTok.

By default, LinkTwin short URLs never expire. They work forever. However, you can optionally set expiration dates or click limits if you want links to automatically deactivate. This is perfect for limited-time promotions, flash sales, or exclusive content.

Yes. You can choose the ending, so instead of random characters you share linktw.in/summer-sale or linktw.in/podcast. Custom endings come from the Medium plan. You can also use your own custom domain from the Medium plan, so links look like go.yourbrand.com/promo. Without a custom ending, a link gets a short random one.

Every short link counts total and unique clicks and shows where they came from: country and city, operating system, browser, language, referring site, and the hour people click. The free plan keeps 14 days of history and paid plans keep more. You can export clicks to CSV from the Medium plan and read them through the API on every plan. See all the click analytics.

Yes. Every LinkTwin link redirects over HTTPS, links are checked for phishing and malware, and our terms forbid spam and harmful content. Visitors never sign in to LinkTwin or install anything. You can report a suspicious link on our report page.

Yes. You can delete a link or archive it at any time, and archived links keep their click history. On paid plans you can also change where a link points after you share it, so the same short link keeps working when the page moves.

Yes. Link shortener and URL shortener are two names for the same tool: you paste a long web address and get a short link that redirects to it. LinkTwin is both, and its short links also open apps on phones.

Paste the long link into the box at the top of this page and tap Shorten URL. Create your free account, and your short linktw.in link is ready to copy. From your dashboard you can also shorten links in bulk, with the browser extension, or with the mobile app.

Yes. Short links work in bios, Stories, posts, comments and DMs, and they open the right app instead of the social app's browser. TikTok blocks the main linktw.in domain, so for TikTok use our alternative domain linktwin.co or your own domain.
