What Is a URL Shortener?
A URL shortener is a tool that takes a long web address and creates a shorter, more shareable version. Instead of sharing a link like https://example.com/campaigns/2026/spring-sale?utm_source=email, you share a clean short URL like trimlink.co/spring. The short link redirects visitors to the original destination instantly.
URL shorteners are used by marketers, developers, and businesses to make links easier to share on social media, emails, and print materials. Modern link shorteners like TrimLink also provide click analytics, custom branded domains, and QR code generation — all without compromising your visitors' privacy.
How TrimLink Works
Paste your long URL
Enter any URL into the shortener above. No account needed for basic link shortening — it works instantly.
Get your short link
TrimLink generates a short URL using a 301 redirect. Copy it with one click and share it anywhere — social media, email, SMS, or print.
Track clicks, not people
See how many clicks your short link gets, which countries they come from, and what devices are used — all without storing any personal visitor data.
Why Choose TrimLink Over Other Link Shorteners?
Most URL shorteners like Bitly and TinyURL track your visitors with cookies and store their IP addresses. TrimLink is different: we built a privacy-first link shortener that gives you the analytics you need without compromising visitor privacy. No cookies, no IP storage, no personal data collection.
TrimLink includes free QR code generation, UTM campaign builder, and URL expander — tools that other shorteners charge for. You can also use your own custom domain to create branded short links even on the free plan.
Whether you're a marketer tracking campaign performance, a developer integrating via our REST API, or a small business creating short URLs for print materials — TrimLink is the free URL shortener that respects both you and your audience.
