Short links you can actually measure

Turn a long URL into mercadomonkey.com/your-alias with this free link shortener: add UTM parameters, download its QR code and see how many people clicked it each day.

01 Shorten your link

Paste a complete link, for example https://yoursite.com/promo.
3 to 30 characters: lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. Leave it empty and we'll generate a 6-character code. Use 3 to 30 characters: lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, with no hyphen at the start or end.

Free, no sign-up. Up to 30 links per hour.

02 My links 0

They're saved only in this browser, along with the private key that unlocks their stats. If you clear your browser data or switch devices, you won't see them here anymore (the links keep working).

    No links yetEvery link you shorten will show up here with its clicks from the last 30 days.
    01How it works

    Three steps and done

    1. 01

      Paste your link

      Copy the full address of your page, product or form. If you like, pick an alias that's easy to remember or to say over the phone.

    2. 02

      Add UTM tags (optional)

      Set the source, medium and campaign so Google Analytics tells you exactly how many visits and sales each post, ad or flyer brought in.

    3. 03

      Share and track

      Copy the short link or download its QR code. Under My links you'll see total clicks and a chart of the last 30 days.

    02Why it pays off

    A short link is a tracking point

    A short link doesn't just look better in a post, a text message or a printed card: it also works as a counter. Every time someone opens it, we add a click to that day, so you know whether your Instagram post, your WhatsApp campaign or the flyer you handed out is working, even when the landing page isn't yours.

    UTM parameters are the other half. When you add utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign to the long link, Google Analytics separates those visits and shows you how many people bought or filled out a form. The catch is that a link with UTM tags is long and ugly; shortening it solves both problems: you can share it anywhere and still track it in detail.

    To protect your privacy and your customers', the counter only stores how many clicks happened each day: we don't log IP addresses, locations or any data about who opens the link. We also skip the link previews generated by WhatsApp, Facebook and search bots, so the number reflects real people.

    Links used for phishing, malware, spam or any content that violates our terms are disabled without notice: anyone who opens them sees a page explaining the link was taken down. We also don't accept links from other shorteners or private network addresses, so nobody can hide the real destination.

      Only the person who created the link can see them, using a key stored in their browser.

    04FAQ

    What people ask us

    Do short links expire?
    No. They keep working as long as they aren't reported for abuse. If you stop using one, just remove it from your list; the link will keep redirecting.
    Can I change where a link goes after I create it?
    Not in this free version. If you need to edit destinations, see stats by country or device, or use your own domain, ask us about a branded link shortener for your business.
    Why can't I see my links on another phone or computer?
    Because the list and the key that unlocks the stats are saved only in the browser where you created them; we don't ask for an account or an email. The links work everywhere, but their stats can only be viewed from that browser.
    What counts as a click?
    Every time a person opens the link in a browser. We don't count the previews WhatsApp, Facebook, Slack or Telegram generate when you paste the link, or visits from bots and search engines.
    Which UTM values should I use?
    Source is where the link appears (facebook, instagram, newsletter); medium is the type of traffic (cpc for paid ads, social for organic posts, email, qr); campaign is the name that groups everything together (black-friday-2026). Always use lowercase and the same names across all your materials.
    Can I shorten any link?
    Any public page that uses http or https. We don't accept private network addresses, links from other shorteners or sites used for phishing, malware or spam. Links that violate our terms are disabled.
