What Is a URL Shortener?
A URL shortener turns a long web address into a compact link that is easier to share and manage.
How it works
A shortener stores a destination URL against a unique code. When someone opens the short link, the service looks up the code and redirects the visitor to the saved destination.
When to use one
Short links can make printed materials, messages and campaign links easier to handle. Use a service that clearly identifies destinations and offers abuse reporting.
What to remember
A short URL hides the full destination until it is opened. Share links only from sources you trust.
