Link-in-bio profile page

Create a public profile page at shortfy.co/p/yourname. Add your bio, photo, and all your links — portfolio, socials, schedule, and more.

Custom aliases & vanity URLs

Choose your own short code — create branded links like shortfy.co/my-brand instead of random characters.

Click analytics

Track every click with 30-day charts, top referrers, and geo & device breakdowns by country, browser, and OS.

QR code generation

Every short link comes with a downloadable QR code — perfect for print, packaging, and offline campaigns.

Link expiration dates

Set an expiry date on any link. Ideal for time-limited offers, event registrations, or temporary access.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to shorten a URL?

No. You can shorten links immediately without creating an account. Sign up free to save your link history, access analytics, create custom aliases, and use the API.

Can I create a link-in-bio profile page?

Yes. Every Shortfy account includes a free link page at shortfy.co/p/yourname. Add your photo, bio, and as many links as you like — portfolio, social accounts, booking page, store, and more. Publish it when you're ready and track how many people visit and what they click.

What are custom aliases?

Custom aliases let you choose the slug that appears after the domain — for example shortfy.co/launch instead of shortfy.co/xK9z2B. Available on Pro and Business plans.

Does Shortfy generate QR codes?

Yes. Every shortened link has a QR code you can generate and download instantly from the result card or your link dashboard.

Can I set an expiry date on a link?

Yes. Pro and Business users can set an expiration date on any link. After the date passes the link stops redirecting and visitors see an expiry notice.

What analytics data does Shortfy track?

Shortfy tracks total clicks, clicks over time (30-day chart), top referrers, and — on Pro/Business plans — geographic breakdowns by country, device type, operating system, and browser.

Is there a REST API?

Yes. Shortfy provides a full REST API to shorten URLs, list and manage links, retrieve analytics, and manage API keys. Authenticate with a Bearer token. See the API docs for details.
