Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about FattyURL.

Is FattyURL completely free?
Yes. Shortening, full click analytics, QR codes and custom slugs are free, with no expiry on a free account, and no ads on paid plans. Paid plans add your own domain and the API, and nothing that is free today will ever move behind them.

Do I need to sign up or create an account?
No. Just paste your long URL and click shorten. No sign up, no login, no email required.

Is there a limit on how many URLs I can shorten?
No monthly limit. To stop spam bots we cap how fast new links can be made: 10 an hour and 50 a day without an account, 100 an hour and 1000 a day with a free account and a verified email. Clicks are never limited.

Do shortened links expire?
Not with a free account: links made with a free account never expire. Links made without an account expire after 30 days without a click. Links on your own domain need an active paid plan, plus 7 days, and then keep working on fattyurl.com.

Is FattyURL safe to use?
We check every destination against Google Web Risk when a link is created or edited, and keep re-checking links people click. If you see a bad FattyURL link, report it to [email protected].

Why should I use FattyURL instead of other URL shorteners?
Most URL shorteners require you to create an account, limit free usage, or charge for features. FattyURL is free to use with no sign up, no click limits and no paywall on the free features.

What is a URL shortener?
A URL shortener converts long web addresses into short, easy-to-share links that redirect to the original page.
