What is a URL shortener?

A URL shortener is a tool that converts long web addresses into short, shareable links. ShortURL.gg creates compact URLs that are easier to share on social media, emails, and marketing campaigns while providing click tracking and analytics.

Is ShortURL.gg free to use?

Yes, ShortURL.gg offers a completely free plan with unlimited short links and basic analytics. Premium plans with custom domains, advanced features, and white-label options are available starting at $9.99/month.

Can I track clicks on my short links?

Yes, all ShortURL.gg links include built-in analytics showing total clicks, geographic locations, referral sources, devices, and browsers. Premium plans offer advanced tracking with real-time statistics and detailed reports.

Can I use my own custom domain?

Yes, premium plans allow you to connect your own custom domain for fully branded short links. This creates professional URLs like yourbrand.com/link instead of shorturl.gg/link.

Do short links expire?

Free links on ShortURL.gg do not expire by default. Premium users can set custom expiration dates for time-sensitive campaigns or temporary links.

Is ShortURL.gg safe for link security?

Yes, ShortURL.gg includes a link preview page showing the destination URL before redirecting. This security feature protects users from malicious links and phishing attempts. All links are scanned for safety.
