What is urll.io?
+
urll.io is a URL shortening service that converts long URLs into shorter, easier-to-share links. It also provides features such as QR code generation, click analytics, link expiration, custom aliases, and link management for registered users.
Do I need an account to shorten a URL?
+
No. You can create a shortened URL as a guest without creating an account. However, creating an account gives you access to additional features such as managing your links from a dashboard and viewing link analytics.
How do I create a shortened URL?
+
Enter the original URL you want to shorten on the urll.io homepage and generate a short link. Depending on the available options, you can also configure an expiration time or choose a custom alias.
What is a custom alias?
+
A custom alias allows you to choose the readable part of your shortened URL. For example, instead of receiving a randomly generated link, you may be able to create a link such as urll.io/portfolio. Custom aliases are subject to availability and applicable restrictions.
Can multiple users use the same custom alias?
+
No. A custom alias can only be associated with one active shortened URL at a time. If an alias has already been taken, you will need to choose another available alias.
Can I change my custom alias after creating a link?
+
Custom alias modification depends on the features currently available on urll.io. If the feature is not available, you can create a new shortened URL with another available alias.
Do shortened URLs expire?
+
They can. When creating a shortened URL, you may be able to configure an expiration time. Once the configured expiration time is reached, the shortened URL is automatically deleted and will no longer redirect to its original destination.
What happens if I don't set an expiration time?
+
A shortened URL without an expiration time remains available until it is deleted by the user or removed by urll.io in accordance with our Terms of Use.
Can I delete a shortened URL?
+
Registered users can manage and delete their shortened URLs through the available dashboard features. Links may also be automatically removed when their configured expiration time is reached.
Can I track how many people clicked my link?
+
Yes. urll.io can record clicks on shortened URLs and provide click analytics for supported links. Analytics may not always represent the exact number of unique human visitors because automated requests, bots, caching, and other technical factors can affect click counts.
Does urll.io track my personal information when someone clicks my link?
+
urll.io stores click information to provide link analytics. The specific information collected depends on the implementation of the service. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details about the information we collect and how it is used.
Can I generate a QR code for my shortened URL?
+
Yes. urll.io provides QR code generation for shortened URLs, allowing you to share a link through a scannable QR code.
Can I use urll.io without registering?
+
Yes. Guest users can create shortened URLs without creating an account. Account registration is useful if you want access to features such as link management and a personal dashboard.
Are my shortened URLs private?
+
Shortened URLs are designed to be shared. Anyone who has access to a shortened URL can use it to reach the associated destination. You should not use urll.io to shorten URLs containing confidential or sensitive information that you do not want to make accessible through a shared link.
Does urll.io store the original URL?
+
Yes. The original destination URL needs to be stored so that urll.io can redirect visitors from the shortened URL to the intended destination.
Does urll.io sell my personal information?
+
No. urll.io does not sell or intentionally share user data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes. For more information about how your data is handled, please review our Privacy Policy.
Is my password stored securely?
+
Passwords for registered accounts are hashed before being stored and are not stored as plain-text passwords.
Can I shorten any URL?
+
You should only shorten URLs that you are authorized to share and that comply with applicable laws and the urll.io Terms of Use. URLs used for phishing, malware, scams, fraud, spam, illegal activity, or other prohibited purposes are not allowed.
What should I do if I receive a suspicious urll.io link?
+
Every urll.io link gives you 10 seconds to verify its legitimacy. If you believe a urll.io link is being used for phishing, malware, fraud, spam, or another harmful activity, you can report it on our mail address: mail.prashantg0@gmail.com.
Can urll.io remove a shortened URL?
+
Yes. urll.io may remove or disable shortened URLs that violate our Terms of Use, are reported as malicious or abusive, create security or legal concerns, or otherwise require removal.
Why isn't my shortened URL working?
+
A shortened URL may stop working if it has expired, has been deleted, has been disabled for violating our Terms of Use, or if the urll.io service is temporarily unavailable. If you believe a link has stopped working unexpectedly, you can contact us for assistance.
Does urll.io guarantee that my shortened link will always work?
+
No. While we aim to keep the service reliable, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. Links may expire, be deleted, be disabled due to abuse, or become temporarily unavailable due to technical issues.
Can I use urll.io for business or professional purposes?
+
Yes, provided that your use complies with our Terms of Use. You can use shortened URLs for legitimate purposes such as sharing websites, portfolios, documents, campaigns, or other authorized resources.
