About the Link Shortener

This free link shortener uses the TinyURL API to instantly convert long, unwieldy URLs into short, shareable links. Perfect for sharing links on Ethiopian social media platforms like Telegram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, where long URLs can break or look unprofessional. Each shortened link gets an auto-generated QR code you can download and print on flyers, business cards, or menus. Your last 5 shortened URLs are saved locally in your browser for quick access. No account required — shorten URLs instantly and copy them with one click.

Shorter links, with a QR code

Long web addresses are awkward to share — they break across lines in messages, look untidy on a slide, and are impossible to read aloud. This tool shortens a URL through a well-known shortening service and keeps a history of the links you have made in the current session, so you can grab an earlier one again.

Each shortened link comes with a QR code preview, which turns a web address into something a phone camera can open in a second — useful on posters, business cards, packaging, or a presentation. Shortened links are public by their nature, so avoid shortening addresses that contain private tokens or sensitive parameters.
