The basics

What is a URL Shortener?

Everything you need to know in plain English.

A URL shortener is a tool that converts a long web address into a short, clean link. Instead of sharing something like:

Before https://example.com/blog/articles/2024/how-to-grow-your-email-list-in-30-days?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email
After beshr.ink/email-tips

You get a short link that redirects anyone who clicks it to the original destination — instantly and invisibly.

Short links are easier to read, easier to share, and don't break when copied into emails or messages. They also let you track how many times the link was clicked, so you know if your content is actually reaching people.

How does it work?

When you shorten a URL, BeShr.ink stores the original address and creates a unique short code. When someone clicks the short link, our server looks up the original URL and redirects them there in milliseconds.

Does the original link still work?

Yes. Shortening a URL never affects the original link. Both the original and the short link work at the same time — independently and permanently.

Is it free?

BeShr.ink is completely free with no sign-up required. Create a free account to unlock link history, analytics dashboard, custom aliases, and advanced controls.

Can I create a custom short link alias?

Can I password-protect a short link?
Yes. Set a password in the advanced options when shortening. Only users who enter the correct password will be redirected to the destination URL.
Can I set an expiry date on a short link?
Yes. Set an expiry date and time on any link. The link will automatically stop working after it expires and show a clear error page to visitors.
What is a one-time link?
A one-time link automatically expires after the first click. It's useful for sharing sensitive content that should only be accessed once — the link becomes invalid immediately after it's visited.
Does BeShr.ink track click analytics?
Yes. Every short link has a statistics page showing total clicks, last click date, expiry status, and a 30-day click chart. Access it at beshr.ink/stats/your-alias.
Can I generate a QR code for my short link?
Yes. BeShr.ink automatically generates a downloadable QR code for every short link. Click the QR button after shortening or from your dashboard.
