URL Shortener
Send a long address to a shortening provider and receive a copyable short link; check the provider domain before sharing it.
A checkout, map or campaign address can become awkward once filters and tracking parameters are attached. A link shortener replaces that long string with a redirect while keeping the original destination and its UTM values intact.
Enter a bare domain and the form adds https:// before sending it. Only HTTP and HTTPS addresses are accepted, and a URL containing an embedded username or password is rejected on the page.
What is a URL, and what stays unchanged?
A URL identifies a specific page or file. A short link generator sends that address to is.gd first; da.gd or CleanURI may be used if the first provider does not return a link.
- The full destination is shared with an external provider.
- The redirect cannot be edited later, so a changed destination needs a new link.
- An unfamiliar short address conceals its domain until it is opened.
Do not submit password-reset links, document tokens or URLs containing account access data. Open your own result once in a private window before publishing it, and verify the sender before entering credentials after following somebody else's shortened link.
A lower character count is not a safety check. The redirect also depends on the selected shortening service remaining available and accepting the destination.
Frequently Asked Questions About the URL Shortener
The address is sent to is.gd first; if that service does not respond, da.gd or CleanURI may be used. Do not submit a URL containing an access token, password-reset code or private document key.
No. Create a new short link when the destination changes. Because an unfamiliar short address initially hides its destination domain, verify the sender before entering credentials or downloading a file.
