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.

"Worthy choice for your tracking needs"

4/5

What do you like best about TinyURL?

It shortens really lengthy URL's and as marketers we know how important that is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyURL?

At times when I use UTM parameters and would like to check them, I have to check the unshortened version. Not a deal-breaker, but it slows us down a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Send simple URL links easily and encourage people to use them"

5/5

What do you like best about TinyURL?

It does exactly what it says. These days, so many URL's are three or four lines long which is not only unattractive and unwieldy; but also discourages people from using the link. One click of the TinyURL button and a complex 4 or 5 line url, can easily be transformed into a neat and manageable URL which appears more inviting and more managable if sharing with others. I also like the way you are able to customise your own shortened URL's making the address even more easy to remember - especially helpful when sharing a link verbally. Users need very little guidance, resources or set-up time to begin using this link shortening tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyURL?

Very little. Just occasionally, I have known some company email protocols reject emails containing shortened URL's just in case they are hiding something behind it. However, this has probably happened twice when sending tens of thousands of emails over a ten year period. The user interface is also a little dated now, however this doesn't detract from the ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TinyURL solving and how is that benefiting you?

We create regular blog pages, which provide updated content on our website, these are archived on a particular section of the website - requiring visitors to click through 3 different sections. If we share the full links, they appear lengthy and ungainly and we've found attract a fewer number of readers. By shortening the URL and naming it something more memorable, we have dramatically increased traffic. Additionally, as a training provider, we like to signpost learners to a number of reference sources and follow-up resources; handouts with long hard to decipher URL's will never be actioned, but a short list containing a handful of customized TinyURLs are always well received by delegates.

"Useful service"

5/5

What do you like best about TinyURL?

Many of my social media clients have super lengthy urls leading to specific pages and to include them in a social media post would be awful looking. This shortens them so the social post is easily digestible and clean looking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TinyURL?

There isn't anything I dislike, very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
