How it works

Three steps to smarter links

Get started in under 60 seconds. No credit card required.

Step 01

Paste your URL

Drop any long URL into the shortener. Flyn auto-detects the title, favicon, and Open Graph metadata so your link looks great when shared.

Step 02

Customize everything

Pick a custom slug, connect your branded domain, add UTM tags, set up geo routing, or protect with a password. Make it yours.

Step 03

Share & track

Share your short link anywhere. Watch clicks roll in with real-time analytics, device, location, referrer, and more. All from one dashboard.

From solo creators to enterprise teams, Flyn adapts to how you work.

Switching

Bring your links from Bitly and others

Drop your export and see what happens to every link before anything is created.

Any export

Drop the export from Bitly, Rebrandly, Dub, Short.io or another tool. Flyn matches the columns, and any CSV of URLs works.

Your own domain

Links on your branded domain keep working once the same back-halves are imported onto it, the domain is verified in Flyn and its DNS points to Flyn.

Shared domains

Links on bit.ly and other shared domains stay with that service, so each gets a new Flyn link and a report maps old to new.

Free preview

Uploading and previewing are free; importing the links needs Pro, Lifetime or Team.

Click history does not transfer: Flyn counts clicks from the moment each link goes live.

Integrations

Works everywhere you do

Drop Flyn into your existing stack. No migration headaches.

REST API

Full CRUD over HTTPS. Create links programmatically from any language.

TypeScript SDK

First-class SDK with full type safety. npm install flyn-sdk and go.

Webhooks

Real-time events for link clicks, creations, and updates. Push to Slack, Zapier, or anywhere.
