How to Shorten a URL With Our Free URL Shortener

Linklope is a free url shortener that makes a long web address short. You paste a link, press one button, and get a short link that starts with slk.me. Then you can share it in a message, a post, or a bio. You can also see how many people open it.

Step One: Paste Your Long Link

Use the box at the top of this page. Paste the full web address of the page you want to share. It can be a blog post, a video, a shop page, or a photo page. If you are a guest, type your name too. People see this name before they open your link, so use a name they know.

Step Two: Choose a Custom Name and a Time

You can type your own ending, like slk.me/mybook. This makes a custom short link that is easy to remember. If you skip it, we pick a random ending. Then choose how long the link should last. Guests can pick 1 hour or 30 days. Signed in users can also pick 1 year.

Step Three: Copy and Share Your Short Link

Press the button and your short link appears. Copy it and share it anywhere you can paste a link. It works on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, in email, and in chat apps. When a person opens it, they see a quick check page that shows where the link goes. Then they continue to your page.

Step Four: Watch Your Clicks

Make a free account to see url shortener tracking for each link. You can see how many people clicked, which countries they came from, and which websites sent them. You can also change where a link goes later, without changing the short link.

What Linklope Does Not Do

Linklope is simple on purpose. It has no custom domains, no API, no browser extension, and no QR codes. It does not pay you for clicks, and it has no ads. Links do not last forever, so use it for links you need for a few days, months, or up to one year.

Tips to Share Links Safely

Only shorten pages you trust and are allowed to share. Never use a short link to trick people, because we block scam sites and switch off reported links. When you open a short link from someone else, read the check page and look at the full address before you continue.

Do's and Don'ts for Safe Short Links

Do

  • Shorten only pages you trust and are allowed to share.
  • Type a name people know if you are a guest.
  • Pick an easy to read ending, such as slk.me/mybook.
  • Choose an expiry time that fits how long you need the link.
  • Make a free account to see clicks and to edit where a link goes.

Don't

  • Do not use a short link to trick people.
  • Do not shorten another link shortener. We block them.
  • Do not use Linklope for a link that must work for many years.
  • Do not trust a guest name as proof of who sent a link.
  • Do not put private details such as tokens in the long link, because the check page shows the full address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Simple answers about short links, click tracking, and staying safe.

A URL shortener is a tool that turns a long web address into a short one. When someone opens the short link, they are sent to the long page. Short links are easier to type, easier to share in a message, and look neat on a page or in a bio.

You paste your long link into the box at the top of this page and press the button. Linklope gives you a short link that starts with slk.me. You can copy it and share it anywhere. When a person opens it, they see a short check page first and then go to your page.

Yes. Linklope is a free URL shortener. You do not pay, and there are no ads. Guests can make a small number of links each day. A free account lets you make more and keep them longer.

No. You can use this free url shortener with no sign up as a guest. You type the link and a name, finish a quick human check, and you get your short link. The name is shown to people before they open your link. An account is optional.

Each time a real person opens your short link, Linklope adds one to the click count. It also saves the time, the country of the visitor, and the name of the website the visitor came from. You can see these numbers for each link in your dashboard when you have an account. We do not save the IP address of the people who click.

Yes. You can type your own ending, such as slk.me/mybook, if it is not taken. This is a custom url shortener feature that makes your link easier to remember. If you leave the box empty, Linklope makes a random ending for you. Custom names use letters, numbers and dashes.

No. Linklope does not offer a custom domain. All short links use the slk.me address. You can still choose your own ending after the slash. We keep Linklope small and simple on purpose.

No. Linklope has no API, no browser extension, and no QR code maker. You use it on this website. If you need a QR code, you can make your short link first and then paste it into any free QR code tool.

No. Linklope does not pay you for clicks. It is not a url shortener that pays. We do not show ads on short links, and we do not sell your data. Be careful of any site that promises easy money for short links.

We try to keep it safe. Before a visitor leaves, we show the full web address and who sent the link, and we ask if they trust it. Anyone can press a button to report abuse, and the link is switched off at once. We also block known scam sites and other link shorteners. Even so, we do not control the pages that links open, so always be careful before you type a password.

Short links hide the real address, and bad people can use that to trick others. The check page shows where the link goes, so you can decide. If you trust it, press Continue. If it looks wrong, press the report button. Guest names are typed by the sender and are not checked.

Not forever. Guest links last 1 hour or 30 days. Links made by signed in users can last up to 1 year. When a link expires, it is deleted. So Linklope is not a permanent url shortener. Do not use it for something that must work for many years.

Yes, if you have an account. In your dashboard you can edit the destination of a link. The short link stays the same, but it opens the new page. This is useful when a page moves or you made a mistake.

Guests can make 2 links each day. If you sign in with a free account, you can make as many links as you need. Signing in takes one email and a one time code. There are no passwords to remember.

Yes. A short link works anywhere you can paste a link, such as an Instagram bio, a Facebook post, or a YouTube description. Short links look clean and save space. Visitors will see the check page before they go to your page.

It does the same basic job, which is to shorten a link and count clicks. Linklope is smaller. It has no custom domains, no API, and no paid plans. It is free, has no ads, and shows a check page to protect visitors. Choose the tool that fits what you need.

Google closed its URL shortener to new links a few years ago, so you cannot make a new goo.gl link. Some old goo.gl links may still work, and some may not. If you want a new short link, you can make one here with Linklope for free.

Yes, as long as you have a public web address for it. Linklope does not store images or files. It only shortens the address you give it. Paste the link to the image page or the file, and you get a short link. Make sure the file is allowed to be shared.

A short link by itself does not raise your rank in search. Linklope uses a temporary redirect, which is the usual choice for short links. Use it to keep links tidy and to see how many people click. Good content is what helps your page rank.

Open the short link and press No, report abuse on the check page. The link is switched off at once and we review it. You can also use the report form on slk.me or write to [email protected]. Please tell us the full short link.

We keep your long link, the short ending, the time, and the IP address of the person who made the link. This helps stop spam. For clicks, we keep the time, the country, and the site the visitor came from, but not the visitor IP. For accounts, we keep a name and an email. We never sell your data. Read the Terms and Privacy page for more.

First, check that you typed the whole link. A link may have expired, because guest links last 1 hour or 30 days. A link may also be disabled if people reported it as harmful. If your link is good and was switched off by mistake, write to [email protected] and we will check it.
