It turns long URLs into short ones at sh0rt.biz/CODE. When someone visits the short link, they get redirected to the original URL immediately. No account needed.
Yes. Enter a custom slug (2–32 characters: letters, numbers, - and _) in the Custom slug field. If left empty, a random 6-character code is generated. Custom slugs must be unique — you'll get an error if someone already has it.
By default, links never expire. Optionally you can set:
• After N days — link stops working after that many days from creation • After N clicks — link stops working once it has been clicked that many times
Expired links are deleted from the database and show an "Expired" page to visitors.
Statistics
Enable Track clicks when creating the link. Each visit to the short link increments a counter and records the timestamp. View stats at /CODE+ (add a + to the short URL).
Stats show: total clicks, last click date, creation date, and expiry status.
Stats are accessible to anyone who knows the /CODE+ URL. There is no access control. If you need private stats, don't share the + link — or simply disable tracking (default).
Technical
Every redirect uses HTTP 302 (temporary), so browsers re-check the link on every visit. A deleted or expired link stops working immediately for everyone — no stale copy is left in a browser cache.
No rate limiting currently. There is no public API — link creation is done via the web form only.
