TinyURL Reviews & Product Details

TinyURL is a URL shortening and link management software that allows individuals and organizations to create short, easy-to-share links and manage how those links are used over time. It is commonly used by marketing teams, product teams, developers and operations teams that need reliable, long-lasting links for digital and offline distribution. At its core, TinyURL converts long web addresses into shorter URLs that are easier to share across channels such as email, SMS, social media, print materials, QR codes and internal tools. Unlike many basic URL shorteners, TinyURL links are permanent by default, meaning they do not expire unless the user chooses to change or disable them. This makes the platform suitable for long-term campaigns, documentation and public-facing resources. TinyURL also functions as a link management platform, offering tools that help users organize, control and analyze their links. Users can create custom aliases, group links with tags, update destination URLs, set expiration rules and generate QR codes tied to their short links. For tracking and measurement, TinyURL provides link analytics, including click counts, referrers, geographic data, devices and traffic trends over time. For teams and high-volume use cases, TinyURL supports bulk link creation and API access, allowing links to be generated and managed programmatically. This is useful for workflows such as SMS messaging, marketing campaigns, product notifications and automated systems that require large numbers of short links. TinyURL also supports branded domains, enabling businesses to use their own custom domains instead of a shared shortening domain. This helps improve brand recognition and trust when links are shared externally. Founded in 2002, TinyURL is one of the oldest and longest-running URL shortening services and is used globally by individuals, small businesses and enterprise organizations that need a simple, reliable, and scalable solution for link shortening and link management.

"Very useful for condensing urls"

3.5/5

What do you like best about TinyURL?

Tiny URL is a very useful tool, one that I’ve used the better part of the last 10 years. It’s extremely easy to use. I have it saved as a favorite on my shortcut bar of my web browser. When I want to share a web site, either on text or in email (or more rarely, in presentations or print), I simply click on the shortcut bar and it goes to the tinyURL site and makes a very compact link of the page I was just on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyURL?

I guess I would like the option of a web extension, so that it didn’t leave the page I was on but created a pop-up window instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Experience!"

5/5

What do you like best about TinyURL?

It is incredibly easy to use! I've used tiny URL to shorten a link as a part of an ambassador program I am in where I get referral credit. I did not want to have a long length URL link, so I used Tiny URL . to shorten the link. The experience was great! All I had to do was copy and paste the current long link into their site and click "Make my TinyURL' and I got exactly what I was looking for. Anyone could figure this out.

"An expedited service"

4.5/5

What do you like best about TinyURL?

This is great, because it speeds up time with you searching for what you need. You do not have to waste all that time typing all the wording out. I appreciate the benefit of the link never expiring. You can go as far back as 2005 on some things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it is very hard to remember the short aliases for sites you created. I feel that more training is needed to help the older generation understand the importance of this product. It sometimes just takes time to get people to get used to change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
