Best TinyURL alternative
Looking for a TinyURL alternative? urlik.xyz is a free, privacy-first toolset that does what a shortener should — and much more. TinyURL keeps a dated interface, thin analytics and no modern tooling like A/B rotation, passwords or an app suite. urlik bundles a shortener, QR generator, disposable email, encrypted file sharing, payment links and a link-in-bio page into one free account.
Why choose urlik over TinyURL
- Free core tools — shortening, QR codes, analytics, passwords and expiry cost nothing and need no sign-up.
- A whole suite, not one tool — QR codes, temporary email, encrypted file sharing, payment links and link-in-bio in one place.
- Privacy by design — end-to-end encrypted file sharing, no malicious links, self-hosted analytics.
- No sign-up wall — start shortening and generating QR codes instantly.
- Developer-ready — a clean REST API with keys and webhooks, documented and free to use.
- Speaks your language — the whole product is available in 8 languages.
