Pre-Migration Checklist
Complete these steps before starting the migration to ensure a smooth transition.
- 1Export your Pixelfy links NOW if your subscription is near lapsing, data is purged ~90 days after cancellation
- 2Document your custom domain DNS settings (screenshot recommended)
- 3List the retargeting pixels and Amazon links you will rebuild
- 4If your links use your own branded domain, add it in Flyn (Settings > Domains) before you import
- 5Check your Flyn plan: previewing an import is free, creating the links needs Pro, Lifetime or Team
- 6Lower your DNS TTL to 60 seconds a day ahead to minimize switch-over time
Step 1: Export from Pixelfy.me
First, get your existing links out of Pixelfy.me so you can import them into Flyn.
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.
Open your links
Go to your links list in the dashboard.
Export as CSV
Pixelfy lists CSV bulk import and export on its $19.99/month tier. Choose CSV: Flyn reads CSV, TSV and plain text, not XLSX. If you only have an XLSX file, open it in a spreadsheet app and save it as CSV.
Save the list
Confirm the file has the slug and destination for each link.
Step 2: Import into Flyn
Upload your export and Flyn detects the format, maps the columns (you can change any of them), and previews every link before anything is created. Previewing is free; importing needs Pro, Lifetime or Team.
Using your own branded domain? Add it in Settings > Domains before you import (Step 3 lists the DNS records), so the preview can match those links to it. Want to look first? Drop the file on the migration page: it is read in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
Create a Flyn account
Sign up at flyn.to/signup, no credit card required. Uploading and previewing an import is free on every plan; creating the links needs Pro, Lifetime or Team.
Open Links > Import links
In the Flyn dashboard, open the Links page and choose Import links, or go straight to flyn.to/links/import.
Upload your Pixelfy CSV
Drag and drop the file onto the importer, click to browse, or paste the rows (CSV, TSV and plain text all work). Flyn has no fixed template for this export, so it finds the destination and short link columns from their contents, whatever the headers are called. You can change any column mapping in the Review step.
Preview, then import
The preview shows what will happen to every link before anything is created. Links on your own branded domain can keep their back-halves when that domain is added in Flyn first. Links on Pixelfy's own domain cannot move, so each gets a new Flyn link on flyn.co (or a domain you pick in the preview). Choose whether to reuse old back-halves on flyn.co where they are free, and whether a taken back-half is skipped or renamed; existing links are never overwritten. Then start the import and download the report that maps each old short link to its new one.
Step 3: Domain & DNS Migration
Only links on your own branded domain can keep working after the move. Add the domain in Flyn and import its links before you switch DNS, so the links are already there when traffic arrives. Links on domains Pixelfy.me owns stay with Pixelfy.me, and printed QR codes that encode those links keep pointing there.
Add your domain in Flyn first
In Flyn, go to Settings > Domains > Add Domain and enter your branded short domain (for example go.yourcompany.com). Custom domains are included on Pro, Lifetime and Team, up to 3 per account. Do this before you import, so the preview matches your links to the domain.
Add the TXT record and click Verify
At your DNS provider, add the TXT record Flyn shows: _flyn on your root domain (_flyn.yourcompany.com, even when the short domain is go.yourcompany.com; many DNS panels want just _flyn as the name) with the flyn-verify value. Click Verify. This proves you own the domain and does not change where your links point.
Point the domain at Flyn
After your links are imported, replace the CNAME that points your domain at Pixelfy: use a CNAME to cname.flyn.to for a subdomain, or an A record to 76.76.21.21 for a root domain. Keep the hostname the same.
Verify again and test
DNS changes usually apply within minutes but can take up to 48 hours. Click Verify again: Flyn marks the domain Active once it finds the TXT record and the record pointing at Flyn. Then open a few old short links to confirm they redirect.
DNS Record Summary
| Field | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Type | CNAME | CNAME (subdomain) or A (root domain) |
| Host | go (or your subdomain) | go (no change), or @ for a root domain |
| Target | Your Pixelfy.me target | cname.flyn.to or 76.76.21.21 |
| Ownership (TXT) | None | _flyn.yourcompany.com with the flyn-verify= value from Settings > Domains |
What Transfers
Here is what carries over from Pixelfy.me to Flyn and what needs to be reconfigured. A back-half can be reused when it uses only letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores and is not reserved for Flyn's own pages; the preview flags the rest, and those links get a new random back-half.
| Item | Transfers | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Destination URLs | All destinations are preserved | |
| Custom slugs | On your domain | Kept on your own branded domain when it is added in Flyn before you import. Back-halves from Pixelfy's own domain can be reused on flyn.co (or a domain you pick in the preview) when they are free |
| Custom domains | Add it in Flyn before importing, then point its CNAME to cname.flyn.to (root domain: A record 76.76.21.21) and click Verify | |
| Retargeting pixels | Recreate | Configs do not auto-transfer, but Flyn Pro natively fires retargeting pixels on links (Meta, Google Ads, TikTok and 10 more), so re-add them in Flyn |
| Amazon Super URLs | Pixelfy-specific, rebuild manually if you still need add-to-cart links | |
| Click analytics | History stays in Pixelfy and is purged ~90 days after cancellation, so export early | |
| QR codes | Regenerate | Regenerate free in Flyn |
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
- Re-add your retargeting pixels in Flyn Pro, or set up UTM-based 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 48 hours for DNS. Verify the CNAME points to cname.flyn.to and clear your cache. If you imported before adding the domain in Flyn, those links were created on flyn.co: add the domain and run the import again.
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 them into Flyn.
Retargeting pixels are gone
Re-add your retargeting pixels in Flyn Pro (Meta, Google Ads, TikTok and 10 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?
Pixelfy exports from its dashboard, so most of the time is the import and, for a branded domain, DNS. In Flyn, the importer creates links in batches of 100 with a progress bar, so most imports take minutes. Accounts in their first week may have a daily limit on new links; if an import reaches it, the importer stops and lets you download the remaining rows as a file to import once 24 hours have passed. If you move a branded domain, DNS changes usually apply within minutes but can take up to 48 hours.
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, if you later cancel Pro, links on Flyn's default domain keep working on the free plan; a custom domain is a paid feature and is paused after a grace period.
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 Ads, TikTok and 10 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. Branded short links imported onto your domain keep working once the domain is verified in Flyn and its DNS points to Flyn; everything else gets a new Flyn link.
Is Flyn cheaper than Pixelfy.me?
Yes. Flyn Pro is $9 per month billed annually ($12 monthly) for unlimited links and clicks, with a free plan. Pixelfy has no free plan, and its Professional, Business and Enterprise plans cost $19.99, $49.99 and $99.99 a month, each with a click limit (Pixelfy pricing page, checked September 2026).
Is there a limit on how many links I can import?
Previewing an import is free on every plan, and on the free plan you can still create 25 links a month by hand. Importing needs Pro, Lifetime or Team, with no cap on how many links you import. Accounts less than 7 days old may have a daily limit on new links, an abuse safeguard; if an import reaches it, the importer stops cleanly and lets you download the rows that were not imported, to import once 24 hours have passed. The REST API takes one destination per request (Create Many only copies a single destination) and is rate limited, so the importer is the way to move a whole account.
