What is URL Shortening?

URL shortening is the process of converting long, complex web addresses into short, easy-to-share links. This makes it easier to share links on platforms with character limits, like social media or in printed materials. Despite the reduction in length, the short URL still redirects users to the original destination.

How Does URL Shortening Work?

A URL shortening service creates a unique, brief code that acts as a redirect to the original, longer URL. When someone clicks on the short link, the service directs them to the full web address, maintaining the link’s destination. This redirection is seamless and transparent to the user.
