Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to shorten a URL?
No. You can shorten links immediately without creating an account. Sign up free to save your link history, access analytics, create custom aliases, and use the API.
What are custom aliases?
Custom aliases let you choose the slug that appears after the domain — for example shortfy.co/launch instead of shortfy.co/xK9z2B. Available on Pro and Business plans.
Does Shortfy generate QR codes?
Yes. Every shortened link has a QR code you can generate and download instantly from the result card or your link dashboard.
Can I set an expiry date on a link?
Yes. Pro and Business users can set an expiration date on any link. After the date passes the link stops redirecting and visitors see an expiry notice.
What analytics data does Shortfy track?
Shortfy tracks total clicks, clicks over time (30-day chart), top referrers, and — on Pro/Business plans — geographic breakdowns by country, device type, operating system, and browser.
Is there a REST API?
Yes. Shortfy provides a full REST API to shorten URLs, list and manage links, retrieve analytics, and manage API keys. Authenticate with a Bearer token. See the API docs for details.
