Why we built bitURL
Most URL shorteners bury their best features behind paywalls, force you to sign up before you can shorten a single link, or slow your redirect down with ads and trackers. We wanted something different — a shortener that's fast by default, honest about what it collects, and doesn't punish free users with arbitrary limits.
Today, bitURLis used to shorten and track links for newsletters, social campaigns, QR codes on printed materials, and internal tools. Anyone can shorten a link in seconds without creating an account — a free account simply raises your daily limit and unlocks a dashboard to manage and track every link you've made.
bitURL is built and maintained by a small, focused team that uses the product every day — which is why new features tend to solve real problems rather than chase buzzwords.

What we believe
A handful of principles guide every feature we ship.
Speed first
Every short link redirects in milliseconds. No interstitial ads, no tracking pixels, no waiting screens — just a clean, instant redirect.
Free, not freemium-trapped
Shortening, custom aliases, QR codes, and analytics are free today. If paid plans ever arrive, the features you already rely on stay free.
Privacy by default
We collect only what's needed to run the service and stop abuse — no ad trackers, no selling your data, no third-party cookies.
Built for real workflows
Bulk shortening, link expiration, and a straightforward API mean bitURL fits into marketing campaigns and developer pipelines alike.
