There are already many free URL shortening services on the Internet, but most of them are “free” and have limited functions. To put it simply, the free version may only have one more function to calculate the number of clicks, and there are no other additional functions or analysis reports. The cuttly free URL shortening service I will introduce in this article is a very powerful one that I have recently discovered. All functions are free. It can not only shorten URLs, but also customize URLs, generate QRCode, provide clicks and analysis reports, UTM generators, etc. I recommend it to everyone.
Introduction to cuttly free URL shortening service
Click me to enter the cuttly websiteAfter that, you can paste the URL you want to shorten into the input field on the screen. It can be used without registering an account, but registration will provide more advanced functions:
As shown below, after pasting the URL, click the shorten button on the right:
The URL will be shortened, and there are some additional functions available below, such as “Customize: Change URL Alias/Name” that I think is the best:
This customization function is actually to change the English letters after cutt.ly to what you want instead of the default. Based on the article I shortened the URL of “8 Advantages of iOS Better than Android”, I changed it to iosbest, entered it in the search field above and clicked on the right to change:
OK-Changed successfully appears, which means success. If someone has already used it, an error will pop up and you must enter another one:
My shortened URL becomes cutt.ly/iosbest:
If someone clicks, the number of clicks in the lower right corner will also increase:
Even if you do not register an account, as long as you do not delete cookies, the short URL you create will be recorded, allowing you to modify it later and check the number of clicks:
Personally, I recommend that those who use it frequently can register. It’s completely free. The picture below is the background screen. Each short URL has a detailed analysis report. You don’t have to worry about the cookies being deleted and the short URL information disappearing:
Each short URL has its own QRCode:
UTM codes can also be generated:
Click history is also displayed as a graph:
There are also detailed analysis reports, such as: source, device distribution rate, operating system, browser, etc.:
Friends who are using short URLs should know about bitly. This free version is also quite powerful, but in comparison, I think cuttly is better to use. The fact that the interface supports Chinese is a big plus, and the operation is also very intuitive.
