The Simplest Free URL Shortener — No Sign Up Ever

clkr.me is a free URL shortener built on a single principle: you should not need to create an account just to make a link shorter. Unlike Bitly, which requires registration and limits free users to 10 links per month, clkr.me gives you unlimited short links with no account, no email, and no password — forever.

Every short link is exactly 6 characters long. When you paste your long URL and click Shorten, our server generates a unique 6-character code, stores the mapping, and returns your short link in under a second. When someone clicks your short link, they see a brief preview page confirming the destination before being redirected.

clkr.me is designed to be straightforward and honest. We store your URL on our server — that is how short links work. We collect anonymous click data (country, device, browser) per link, which you can see on the Stats page. We do not store the raw IP addresses of people who click links, and we do not sell any data. Read our Privacy Policy for the full picture.

Perfect for Every Use Case

Whether you are sharing a YouTube video in a WhatsApp group, adding a link to your Instagram bio, printing a URL on a business card, or including a web address in a presentation, clkr.me gives you a clean, short, professional-looking link every time. Short links are easier to type, easier to share verbally, and fit in character-limited spaces that long URLs simply cannot.

Our tool works on every device — iPhone, Android, desktop, and tablet — with no app download required. The entire service runs in your browser. Shorten a URL in 30 seconds, share it, and you're done.
