❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Are shortened URLs permanent?
TinyURL links are generally permanent and don't expire, but it's always good practice to keep a backup of original URLs.
Can I track click statistics?
Basic URL shorteners like TinyURL don't provide analytics. For detailed tracking, consider premium services like Bitly or Google's Campaign URL Builder.
Can I create custom short URLs?
This tool uses TinyURL's free service which generates random URLs. For custom URLs, you'll need TinyURL's paid service or other premium providers.
Are shortened URLs safe?
Shortened URLs can hide the destination, so only click on links from trusted sources. You can preview destinations by adding a '+' to the end of most short URLs.
