Last updated: April 2026

Pre-Migration Checklist

Complete these steps before starting the migration to ensure a smooth transition.

  • 1
    Export your Pixelfy links NOW if your subscription is near lapsing, data is purged ~90 days after cancellation
  • 2
    Document your custom domain DNS settings (screenshot recommended)
  • 3
    List the retargeting pixels and Amazon links you will rebuild
  • 4
    Ensure your Flyn account is on the right plan for your link volume
  • 5
    Lower your DNS TTL to 60 seconds a day ahead to minimize switch-over time

Step 1: Export from Pixelfy.me

First, export your existing links from Pixelfy.me so you can import them into Flyn.

1

Log in to Pixelfy.me

Sign in at pixelfy.me. Do this while your subscription is active, Pixelfy disables the dashboard and purges analytics roughly 90 days after a subscription lapses.

2

Open your links

Go to your links list in the dashboard.

3

Export to CSV or XLSX

Use the bulk export to download your links. The file includes the short link and destination.

4

Save the list

Confirm the file has the slug and destination for each link.

Step 2: Import into Flyn

Upload your exported links into Flyn. The import wizard auto-maps columns and preserves your slugs.

1

Create a Flyn account

Sign up at flyn.to/signup, no credit card required. Free accounts can import up to 25 links.

2

Go to Dashboard > Import

Open the Flyn dashboard and click Import in the top navigation.

3

Upload your Pixelfy export

Drag and drop the CSV. Flyn maps the destination and slug columns automatically.

4

Review and confirm

Preview the links and click Import All. Flyn keeps your slugs and destinations, and your links never expire or get purged.

Step 3: Domain & DNS Migration

Point your custom domain to Flyn so existing short links keep working seamlessly.

1

Find your current DNS record

In your registrar, locate the CNAME for your branded short domain used with Pixelfy.

2

Update the CNAME target

Point the CNAME to link.flyn.to, replacing the Pixelfy target.

3

Add your domain in Flyn

In Flyn go to Settings > Domains > Add Domain, enter your domain, and click Verify.

4

Wait for DNS propagation

Usually 5-30 minutes. Flyn shows a green checkmark once verified.

Post-Migration Verification

After completing the migration, work through this checklist to verify everything is working.

  • Verify 5-10 sample short links resolve correctly
  • Confirm your custom domain shows a green checkmark in Flyn
  • Check that new clicks appear in Flyn analytics
  • Set up UTM-based retargeting audiences in your ad platform
  • Regenerate any QR codes you need
  • Keep your Pixelfy account active for 30 days as a safety net

Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to resolve them.

Links return 404 after migration

Allow up to 30 minutes for DNS. Verify the CNAME points to link.flyn.to and clear your cache.

My Pixelfy dashboard is locked

Pixelfy disables dashboard access when a subscription lapses. If you can still log in, export immediately. If not, recreate links from any records you kept, then import into Flyn where links never get purged.

Retargeting pixels are gone

Re-add your retargeting pixels in Flyn Pro (Meta, Google, TikTok + 9 more) and attach them to your links. Prefer cookieless? Use the UTM builder to build audiences from tagged traffic.

Amazon Super URLs do not work

Amazon add-to-cart and Super URLs are a Pixelfy feature. Rebuild those specific links manually if you still need them, everything else imports normally.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to migrate from Pixelfy.me to Flyn?

Most migrations take 5-10 minutes plus DNS propagation for a custom domain (5-30 minutes).

Will I lose my data if my Pixelfy subscription lapses?

Pixelfy disables the dashboard and purges analytics roughly 90 days after a subscription lapses. Export your links while your account is active. In Flyn, your links and data stay on the free plan, even if you cancel Pro.

Do my retargeting pixels transfer?

The pixel configs do not carry over in the import, but Flyn Pro natively supports retargeting pixels on links (Meta, Google, TikTok + 9 more), so just re-add them in Flyn. Prefer cookieless? Use the built-in UTM builder to build audiences from tagged traffic.

Can I move my Amazon Super URLs?

Amazon Super URLs are Pixelfy-specific and are not part of a standard link import. Your branded short links, slugs, and domains migrate normally.

Is Flyn cheaper than Pixelfy.me?

Yes. Flyn Pro is a flat $9 per month for unlimited links and clicks with a free plan. Pixelfy has no free plan and tiers run $9.99 to $99.99 per month, each capped by monthly clicks.

Is there a limit on how many links I can import?

Free accounts can import up to 25 links. Flyn Pro supports unlimited imports.
