URL shortener
Paste a long URL and get a short linkhiver.com/s/ link with a QR code and click tracking. The link is dynamic: change where it points whenever you like and the same short link and QR keep working, so nothing you have already printed or posted breaks. The shortener lives in the same Linkhiver dashboard as your bio page, and it is free to start — this is the maker writing, so the places where the free plan is tight are marked.
Paste the long link you want to share. It is checked in your browser against the same rules the shortener uses.
Short links are created inside your account, so the clicks belong to you: a linkhiver.com/s/ link with its own QR code, per-click analytics and a destination you can change later. Ten of them are free.
Create your free short linkCopy the URL first — you paste it into the shortener in your dashboard, which takes a moment longer than this button suggests.
There is no setup. Paste the long URL you want to share, add a title if it helps you find it later, and Linkhiver returns a short linkhiver.com/s/ link you can copy anywhere.
A short link is only useful if you can see whether it worked. Each link keeps its own running count and a rolling last-30-days view, so you can tell a launch link apart from one nobody opened.
Every short link comes with a downloadable QR code that points at the short link, not the raw destination. Print it on a flyer, a menu or a poster and it stays valid even after you change where the link goes.
Short links here are dynamic. The code is permanent but the destination is not, so a link you shared last month can send people somewhere new today without losing its click history.
Building a UTM-tagged URL by hand is fine once. It wears thin when the same destination goes out every week under a different campaign name. A short link can hold its own UTM values and append them at redirect time, so what you share stays short and the tags still reach your analytics. This part is Pro: free short links redirect without adding anything, so on the free plan you tag the destination yourself before shortening it — the tags survive the redirect either way.
The shortener is a free core tool, not a paid add-on. Where the free plan is tight is how many short links you can keep at once — plus the UTM settings above — and there is one thing it deliberately does not do.
Yes. You can create up to 10 short links on the free plan, and Pro raises the cap to 100 for $6 a month or $45 a year. Click tracking and a QR code are included on every link at no extra cost.
Yes. Short links are dynamic, so you can edit the destination and the same linkhiver.com/s/ link and its QR code keep working. It is the easiest way to fix a campaign URL that changed or a page that moved without reprinting anything.
A custom code, yes; your own domain, not yet. Type the code you want when you create the link — 3 to 30 letters, numbers or hyphens — and it is free on every plan, including the free one. Codes are unique across Linkhiver, so one that is already taken is refused and you pick another, and the code is fixed once the link exists. Leave the field blank and you get a random seven-character one. Either way the link serves from linkhiver.com/s/ rather than a custom short domain of your own.
Each link shows its total clicks and the last 30 days, plus the top traffic source sending people to it. Every click also records device type and country. Tracking is cookieless and counts real redirects, so the numbers reflect actual visits rather than page loads.
Yes, on Pro. A short link can store its own utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term and utm_content and append them to the destination when someone is redirected — so the link you share stays short while the tags still reach your analytics. A value set on the link overrides the same parameter already on the destination URL. Free short links redirect without adding anything, so on the free plan tag the URL yourself before shortening it; the tags survive the redirect either way.
