A short link should be fast to make and honest about what it does. Flyn shortens any URL into a compact link you can share on social, in SMS, in email, or on print, then shows you real clicks behind it. The first links need no account, so you can test the tool before signing up. Add a custom slug for a link people can read, and edit the destination later without changing the short URL. Free covers 25 links a month with basic click analytics, custom slugs, QR codes, and link expiration. When you need more, Pro unlocks unlimited links, deeper analytics, and branded links on your own custom domains.
How it works
Up and running in minutes
Paste your long URL
Drop any link into the box, from a product page to a doc to a signup form. No account is needed for your first links, so you can create and copy one right away.
Set a custom slug (optional)
Keep the auto-generated back-half or type your own for a link that reads clearly, like flyn.to/spring-sale. On Pro, connect your own domain for branded short links people recognize.
Copy, share, and track
Copy the short link and use it anywhere: social posts, texts, emails, slides, or printed QR codes. Every click is counted and bot-filtered, and you can change where the link points at any time.
Why it matters
What you get
Instant and free
Create a short link in one click with no card and no setup. Free includes 25 links a month, custom slugs, QR codes, and link expiration to start.
Works everywhere you share
One short link fits social bios and posts, SMS, email, slide decks, and print. Generate a QR code for the same link so people can scan it off a poster, menu, or packaging.
Real click tracking
See how many times each link was opened, with basic analytics on Free. Upgrade to Pro for geo, city, device, OS, browser, and referrer breakdowns on every click.
Editable destination
Point a live link somewhere new without changing the short URL. Fix a typo in a landing page, swap a campaign target, or redirect a printed QR code long after it shipped.
Clean, bot-filtered clicks
Every click is filtered for bots so your numbers reflect real people, not scrapers or automated checks. Trust the counts before you report them or make a decision.
Room to grow
Start free and move to Pro for unlimited links, unlimited retention, up to three custom domains, password protection, smart routing by device and geo, a REST API, and webhooks.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to shorten a URL?
No. You can create and copy your first links without signing up, which lets you try the shortener before you commit. Making a free account keeps your links in one dashboard, adds click tracking, and lets you edit destinations later.
Is the free URL shortener really free?
Yes. The Free plan covers 25 links a month at no cost and needs no card. It includes basic click analytics, custom slugs, QR codes, link expiration, custom OG previews, a UTM builder, and three folders. Custom domains are part of Pro, which includes up to 3.
Can I choose my own custom link ending?
Yes. Instead of a random back-half, you can set a custom slug like flyn.to/launch so the link reads clearly. Upgrading to Pro lets you connect your own domains for fully branded short links, which studies suggest can lift click-through rates by up to about 34 percent.
Can I change where a short link points after I share it?
Yes. Every Flyn link is editable, so you can change the destination at any time while the short URL stays the same. That is useful for fixing a wrong link, updating a campaign, or repointing a printed QR code without reprinting it.
What analytics do I get on each link?
Free gives you basic click counts so you can see which links get traffic. Pro adds advanced analytics for every click, including country, city, device, operating system, browser, and referrer, so you can see where clicks come from and how people reach you.
How is this different from your platform-specific shortener pages?
This is the general shortener for any URL, from any site. The platform pages are shortcuts framed around a specific destination, but the underlying link works the same way: short, trackable, editable, and ready for a QR code.
Why teams choose Flyn

Numbers you can trust
