Shorten a link. See the destination before you trust it.
No signup to shorten. Real instant redirects, a safe preview for every link, and free click analytics once you sign up.
No signup needed to shorten a link. Sign up free afterward if you want to save it and see who clicked.
Built to fix what other shorteners get wrong
Shortened links hide their destination, which is exactly what makes them useful for phishing — a real reason some IT teams and platforms block them outright. Here's what Linqeezy does differently.
A real 301 straight to your destination — no ad page, no countdown, no waiting screen in between.
Every link gets a real preview page showing exactly where it goes before you follow it — useful anywhere you'd normally have to trust a shortened link blind.
No auto-deletion, no TTL, ever. A link you make today still works in five years, guaranteed by policy, not just by accident.
Device, country, referrer, and clicks over time — free for every account, no premium wall.
We publish exactly what's logged per click. No vague privacy policy, no hidden data collection.
Linqeezy vs. a typical free shortener
“Typical” here means the common pattern across most free link shorteners — interstitial ad pages, analytics gated behind a paid tier, and vague or unpublished tracking policies. Not every competitor does every one of these, but this is the general shape.
| Feature | Linqeezy | Typical shortener |
|---|---|---|
| Shorten without an account | ||
| Instant redirect, no interstitial ad page | ||
| Preview the destination before clicking | ||
| Click analytics (device, country, referrer) | often paid-tier only | |
| Full analytics history with no premium tier | ||
| Published, plain-language tracking policy | ||
| Links guaranteed to never expire |
Who actually needs a link shortener
Instagram and TikTok only allow one clickable link — a short, clean URL fits a bio field a raw link never would.
See which channel — email, a specific post, a QR code on print material — actually drove clicks, without setting up a paid analytics tool.
A signed download URL or a long tracking link is awkward to paste anywhere — shorten it, and hand out the preview version when the recipient should see the destination first.

Frequently asked questions
Is Linqeezy free?+
Yes. Shortening links needs no account. Signing up is also free and unlocks click analytics (device, country, referrer, and clicks over time) for every link you own — there's no premium tier or paywall.
Do shortened links expire?+
No. Links never expire by policy — there's no auto-deletion or time limit on any link, whether you're signed in or not.
What's the 'preview link' for?+
Every short link also has a matching preview link (linqeezy.com/p/CODE) that shows the real destination URL before redirecting you — useful when you want to share a safer, more transparent version of a link, or check where a link goes before clicking it yourself.
Why do shortened links get blocked or flagged sometimes?+
Because you can't see the destination before clicking, shortened links are a common phishing tool, and some networks or platforms block shortener domains as a precaution. Linqeezy's preview link exists specifically so anyone can check the real destination first, without needing to trust the link blind.
Do shortened links hurt my SEO?+
No — search engines index the destination page, not the shortener. A common myth is that short links pass extra SEO value; they don't add or subtract ranking signal either way. Linqeezy redirects with a real 301 and no interstitial page in between, which is the technically correct way to do it.
What exactly do you track when someone clicks my link?+
Per click: an approximate country (via IP geolocation, the IP itself isn't stored long-term), device type (mobile/tablet/desktop), and the referring site if any. That's the complete list — see the Privacy page for the full, plain-language breakdown.
