Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

This tool needs a server, so it is part of ROC Toolz Pro ($5 per month, cancel any time). More than 100 other tools on ROC Toolz are free.

How long does a short link work?

There is no time limit on how long a link works, as long as the service runs.

Do the short links expire?

No. They stay active until we remove them for breaking the rules, or the service closes.

Can I choose my own short name?

No. Names are made at random, which keeps the service fair and makes it harder to copy trusted names.

What can I not shorten?

Private or internal addresses, addresses with a username or password, other short links, and addresses with unusual ports. Only public http and https pages are allowed.

What happens to links used for harm?

We remove short links used for phishing, malware or other harm. You can report one on the contact page.

What do you store?

The address you shorten and its short code. We do not store who made it. See the privacy page.
