About the Link Shortener & Click Analytics
Shorten a URL and every visit through it is counted. Plenty of shorteners will give you a short link; the reason this one has an account behind it is that the link stays in a list and keeps a record of what happened after each click, instead of disappearing the moment you close the tab.
What gets recorded
Each click is stored against the link with the time it happened, so you can see totals and when the traffic actually arrived — usually far more informative than the total on its own, because it shows which post or email was doing the work.
Do I need an account to shorten a link?
No. Shortening works signed out. The account is what keeps the link in a list and records clicks against it.
Do short links expire?
No. A link keeps resolving until you delete it — anything printed or already shared stays working.
Can I change where a link points?
For an editable destination use the Dynamic QR Code Generator, which is built around repointing a code that has already been printed.
Is click data personal?
We count clicks and when they happened. The dashboard is about volume and timing, not about identifying individual visitors.
Frequently asked questions

Short links with real click analytics — per day, device and referrer. It runs on ToolMunch's own API, so the result comes back to the page with nothing to install.
Is Link Shortener + Analytics free to use?
Yes. Link Shortener + Analytics is completely free on ToolMunch — no trial, no premium tier holding back the main feature, and no daily or hourly cap on how many times you can use it.
Do I need to create an account or sign up?
No. There is no account, no email address, and no login. Open Link Shortener + Analytics, do the job, and take the result — nothing is gated behind a signup form.
Where is the work done?
Link Shortener + Analytics sends what you give it to ToolMunch's own API, does the work there, and returns the result to your browser. It is used to answer that one request — it is not sold, shared, or added to an advertising profile.
Does Link Shortener + Analytics work on Mac, Windows, and phones?
Yes. Link Shortener + Analytics runs in any modern web browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook, Android, and iOS. There is nothing to download or install.
Will the result have a watermark?
No. ToolMunch never adds a watermark, a badge, or a trailing page to anything you make here. What you get back is what you made.
