Is it safe to use shortened URLs?
Yes, this tool only shortens the URL you provide — it does not modify, track, or store your original link on our servers. TinyURL is a trusted service used by millions worldwide.
Can I shorten YouTube, Instagram, or WhatsApp links?
Absolutely! You can shorten any valid URL — YouTube videos, Instagram profiles, WhatsApp chat links, Google Maps, blog posts, product pages, or any other webpage.
What is the QR Code feature?
After shortening a URL, you can click "QR Code" to generate a scannable QR code for your short link. This is perfect for flyers, visiting cards, presentations, or offline sharing. You can also download the QR code image.
Where is my history saved?
Your recent shortened links are saved locally in your browser's storage. This means your history is only visible to you on your device and is never sent to any server. You can clear it anytime with the "Clear All" button.
