What is TinyURL?

TinyURL is one of the oldest URL shortening services, offering quick link shortening with custom aliases and QR code generation. Its free plan lets anyone shorten and alias links without heavy setup, though it excludes analytics and post-creation link editing, which are reserved for paid subscribers.

Paid Pro and Bulk 50K plans add click analytics with up to two years of history, the ability to edit and rename existing links, branded custom domains, and higher monthly link volumes with overage pricing for extra links or clicks. An Enterprise plan starting around $3,999 per year offers custom volumes, SLA-backed uptime, and compliance support. TinyURL also provides an OpenAPI-based API for automating link creation.
