What is Bitly?
Bitly is a link management platform that shortens URLs and turns them into trackable, brandable short links. Businesses and marketers use it to create custom back-half links, generate dynamic QR codes, and build simple link-in-bio landing pages called Bitly Pages, all tracked from a shared analytics dashboard covering both clicks and scans.
Paid plans add branded custom domains, longer analytics history, bulk link creation, mobile deep linking, and team permissions for larger organizations. Bitly screens links and QR codes for malware and phishing at creation and again at click or scan time. It integrates with tools like Zapier, Slack, Salesforce, and Google Sheets, and offers a REST API plus iOS and Android apps for managing links on the go.
