Frequently asked questions
Is URLfy really free?
Yes. URLfy is completely free for anyone — no subscription, no hidden fees, no account required.
How long do my short links last?
Short links stay valid for 90 days, and every visit extends the lifetime by another 90 days. Links that are never visited are cleaned up automatically.
Can I see how many people clicked my link?
Yes. Open the Click Analytics page and paste your short link or code to see total clicks and the creation date.
Do you offer an API for developers?
Yes — a free REST API at /api/v1/shorten. You can shorten links programmatically from any language.
What happens when I open a shortened link?
You see a short redirect page with the destination information and a 5-second countdown, then you are taken to the original link. You can also click "Continue Now" to skip the wait.
Ready to shorten your first link?
Free forever. No sign-up. Just paste and go.
