About this tool

Most shorteners keep your link on their server, show ads on the redirect page, and can expire or recycle your slug. This one works differently: the destination URL is compressed and encoded straight into the link's fragment, so the short link is self-contained. Nothing is stored on any server — which also means it can never be hijacked, logged or sold. Because there is no server round-trip, shortening is instant and works even offline.

FAQ

Does the link expire?
No. The destination is encoded in the link itself, so it works for as long as the destination exists.
Is my link tracked or logged?
No. There is no redirect server, so there are no click logs, no IP collection and no analytics pixel.
Can someone change where my link points?
No. The destination is part of the link, not a database record someone else controls.
Why is my short link longer than bit.ly's?
Bit.ly stores a random slug in a database. Storing the destination in the link costs a few extra characters but buys you privacy, permanence and zero signup.
Does it work offline?
Yes — shortening happens entirely in your browser.
Where do long URLs still matter?
SMS (160-char limit), X/Twitter bios, printed QR codes, presentation slides and spreadsheet columns.
