About this tool
What is the URL Shortener?
Shorten any URL — optionally pick a custom alias — and get a permanent short link plus QR code. The links don't expire and aren't trackable by us. Useful for putting URLs on print collateral, in podcast show notes, or in places with character limits.
Free, no signup. Uses a tinyurl-compatible backend so links keep working even if ReelStack's URL shortener goes away.

Questions about the URL Shortener
Do the short links expire?
No — short links are permanent unless the destination URL stops working. We don't kill links and we don't redirect through analytics.
Can I pick a custom alias?
Yes — try a custom slug; if it's not taken, you get it. Falls back to a random short hash if your preferred alias is in use.
Free?
Yes — no signup, no daily limit on creating links.
