TinyURL

Link shortener for free TinyURL has been around since 2002, and it's stayed that long because it shortens URLs quickly and easily. It's a handy tool to have on hand when you need to build a brief link that will never expire. Simply paste your long URL into the box, edit the second half of the URL if desired, then click Make TinyURL! You can then utilize that link continuously without the risk of it breaking.

Although you don't need an account to use TinyURL, you can view a history of all your shortened links if you create one. If you want extras like tracking and analytics, branded domains, and the capacity to update each TinyURL after you create it, you may also sign up for a subscription plan. It's really difficult to make a mistake if your wants are basic.
