Long link in, short link out.

Paste a long, unwieldy URL and get a tidy short link you can share anywhere — in a tweet, a bio, a QR code or a print flyer. Add your own custom alias to make it memorable.

  • Short & shareable. A clean link that fits anywhere and looks far more trustworthy than a wall of characters.
  • Your own alias. Optionally name the link so it's easy to remember and say out loud.
  • Free & unlimited. Shorten as many links as you like — no account, no limits.

Shorten a link

Paste a URL — we'll do the rest.

tinyurl.com/

5+ characters. If it's taken, we'll create a random short link instead.

Short links are created with the trusted TinyURL service and never expire.

The basics

Why shorten a link?

A short link is easier to share, harder to mistype, and looks far cleaner in posts, bios, slides and print.

Paste any link

Drop in a full URL — including https:// — and get a short link back instantly. Great for tracking params, deep links and long paths.

Make it yours

Add a custom alias (5+ characters) so the link reads like tinyurl.com/my-sale. If it's already taken, we quietly fall back to a random code.

Nothing to manage

Links are created with the trusted TinyURL service and never expire — DriveBird doesn't store your URLs or ask you to sign up. Shorten and go.

The URL Shortener is one of DriveBird's free tools. Sharing a link to your work? Lock down the account behind it with our free password generator, double-check your current login hasn't leaked using the password checker, or — if the link is a loan quote — run the figures through the EMI calculator first. Putting the link on a poster or flyer? Turn it into a scannable QR code. All free, no sign-up.
