How it works

Four moves from long link to tracked click

Paste, shape, share, track. That is the whole of GoTinyURL. Everything else is an option you switch on when you need it.

  1. 01 Paste
  2. 02 Shape
  3. 03 Share
  4. 04 Track
tap GoTinyURL count page

Step 01 · Paste

Paste any long link

Drop a URL into the dashboard, paste a list for bulk creation, or send it through the API. Product pages, videos, forms, maps, files: anything with an address.

Step 02 · Shape

Shape it to the job

Choose the back-half and domain, then add only what you need: UTM tags, a password, an expiry date, targeting rules, a splash page or retargeting pixels.

Step 03 · Share

Share it in any format

The same link works as a short URL in a caption, a styled QR code on a poster, or a button on your bio page. Deep links open supported apps natively.

Step 04 · Track

Track what happens

Every click is counted with time, country, city, device, browser, OS, language and referrer. Bots are left out. Export the numbers whenever you need them.

After you buy

What happens after you pay?

Your account is ready before you finish reading the thank-you page. We create or upgrade it automatically from the Stripe payment, and you sign in with a one-time link. Subscriptions renew through Stripe; lifetime tiers never renew.

  1. Choose a plan or lifetime tier

    On the pricing or lifetime deal page.

  2. Pay on Stripe

    Card details go to Stripe, never to us.

  3. We set up your account

    Your GoTinyURL account is created, or upgraded if you already have one, automatically.

  4. Sign in with one click

    The thank-you page shows a one-time login link valid for 24 hours.

Refunds: 14 days on the first subscription payment, 30 days on lifetime tiers. Refund policy.

FAQ

How it works: questions

8 questions
Q01How long does it take to set up GoTinyURL?

About a minute for your first short link and ten minutes for a full setup with a QR code and a bio page. Connecting a custom domain adds a DNS change and an activation check, normally within one business day.

Q02Do I need to install anything?

No. GoTinyURL runs in the browser at app.gotinyurl.com on desktop and mobile.

Q03What happens when someone clicks my short link?

Their browser asks GoTinyURL for the link, GoTinyURL records an anonymous click and replies with a redirect, and the browser opens your destination. It takes a fraction of a second.

Q04Can I change a link after sharing it?

Yes. Edit the destination and every copy of the link, including printed QR codes, goes to the new page.

Q05What happens after I buy a plan?

Stripe takes the payment, our system creates or upgrades your account automatically, and you get a one-time login link on the thank-you page.

Q06What if I already have a free account?

Pay with the same email and the account is upgraded; nothing is lost.

Q07Can I automate link creation?

Yes, with the REST API on every plan, at 60 requests per minute per key.

Q08Where is my data stored?

On GoTinyURL's own servers. See the privacy policy for what is stored and for how long.
