About LinkShrinks

LinkShrinks was founded by İlker Özdemir.

İlker built LinkShrinks after seeing the same problem come up again and again: long, messy URLs that are hard to share, hard to brand, and impossible to measure once they leave your inbox or social feed. He wanted a tool that felt fast and honest — no bloated dashboards, no confusing limits buried in fine print.

Today, İlker leads the product direction, design, and development of LinkShrinks, with a focus on reliability, clarity, and tools that work for both solo creators and small teams.

LinkShrinks exists to help people turn long URLs into short, trustworthy links they can share anywhere — social bios, email campaigns, printed QR codes, client deliverables, and team workflows.

Our purpose is simple: give you one place to create links, generate QR codes, and understand what happens after you share them. Whether you are publishing content, running campaigns, or sending customers to a landing page, LinkShrinks should feel immediate and dependable.

Free users can shorten up to 5 links per month with a 90-day active period — no account required to get started. Premium ($4/month) adds 100 links per month, custom short paths, bulk shortening, QR codes, click analytics, and a dashboard to manage everything in one place.

LinkShrinks started as a focused side project: a URL shortener that did the basics exceptionally well — paste a link, copy a short URL, redirect visitors reliably with HTTP 307 responses, and move on.

As more people used it, the scope grew naturally. Creators asked for branded paths. Marketers wanted bulk tools. Small businesses needed QR codes and simple analytics without enterprise pricing. Instead of turning LinkShrinks into a generic marketing suite, we kept the product lean and added only what recurring users actually needed.

www.linkshrinks.com is still an independent project — not backed by a large corporation or venture fund. That keeps us close to users, responsive to feedback, and committed to shipping improvements that make everyday link sharing better.

We are building for creators, small businesses, marketing teams, and agencies who share links every day and want a tool that respects their time.
