dshr is a free URL shortening service that allows you to create temporary or permanent shortened links quickly and easily. No registration is required, and you can start shortening URLs immediately.
You can choose between different expiration times: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. This flexibility allows you to create links that suit your specific needs, whether for temporary sharing or long-term use.
While the service is free, we implement rate limiting to prevent abuse. If you reach the rate limit, you'll need to wait a short period before creating new shortened links.
Security & Safety
We employ a multi-layered security approach to protect users:
Google Safe Browsing API to check URLs against known malicious sites
PhishTank integration to identify potential phishing attempts
Custom pattern detection algorithms to identify suspicious URLs
A link preview feature to help users verify the destination
If you encounter a suspicious link, please report it immediately to [email protected]. Include the shortened URL and any relevant information about why you believe it's suspicious. We take all reports seriously and investigate them promptly.
While shortened links are not private by nature (anyone with the link can access it), we do not provide public listings of shortened URLs or analytics. We recommend not sharing sensitive information through shortened links.
Technical Information
When a link expires, it becomes inactive and users will see an expiration notice when trying to access it. You'll need to create a new shortened link if you want to continue sharing the URL.
Currently, we do not provide analytics for individual links. Our focus is on providing a simple, secure, and efficient URL shortening service.
