What is a link shortener?

A link shortener replaces a long web address with a shorter redirect link that still opens the same page. It is the same idea as a URL shortener — just a different name marketers and creators often search for.

LinkShrinks gives you a clean short link with one paste and one click. Free users get 5 links per month with a 90-day active window. Premium adds custom paths, bulk shortening, QR downloads, and click analytics for $4 per month.

How it works

  1. 1

    Copy the long link

    Grab any http or https URL — a landing page, product link, form, or social profile.

  2. 2

    Shorten it instantly

    Paste into LinkShrinks and click Shorten. Your compact link is ready to copy.

  3. 3

    Share anywhere

    Use the short link in Instagram bios, YouTube descriptions, WhatsApp chats, emails, and ads.
