Getting started

Create your first link

Shorten a URL, pick a back-half, copy it, and confirm the redirect works.

From the dashboard, open Create link. The Free plan can store 1,000 active links. Archiving or deleting a link frees a slot.

The minimum you need

  1. Choose Standard URL (or Link with UTM if you already have campaign tags).
  2. Paste the destination. It must be a public https:// URL Letlink is allowed to redirect to.
  3. Leave the short code blank to get a random back-half, or type your own (letters, numbers, hyphens).
  4. Optionally set a title — it only appears in your dashboard, not to visitors.
  5. Save. Copy the short URL and open it in a private window to confirm it lands on the destination. Block bots is on by default for the whole workspace (Country access), so a crawler will not follow the link — a normal browser will.

Custom back-halves

A short code like summer becomes https://letl.ink/summer. Codes that collide with product paths (login, pricing, help, …) are reserved. Offensive or impersonation-style codes are rejected by content safety checks.

After it is live

  • Clicks show up on the dashboard and on the link's stats page.
  • You can edit the destination later without changing the short URL.
  • Star the link to pin it under Favorites.
  • Attach a QR code if you need a printable version — scans use /q/… and are tagged as qr.
