The Link shortener turns a long address into a short one on Hiyaly's domain, with a QR code to match. Use it for posters, flyers, ads, video descriptions or anywhere a long link looks messy. Each short link counts its clicks.
Create a short link
- Open Link shortener in the dashboard sidebar, under Tools.
- Click Create link, or press C.
- Paste the address into Destination URL.
- Add a Title if you like. It's only for you, to tell links apart.
- Click Create link.
Your new link appears at the top of the list. Click the copy button beside it, or Copy in the message that pops up.
Get the QR code
- Open the menu on the link's row.
- Choose QR code.
- Click Download PNG to save it for print or social.
The QR code always opens the short link, so it keeps working when you change the destination.
Change or delete a link
From the link's menu:
- Edit changes the destination or title. The short link stays the same, so anything you've printed still works.
- Open destination opens where the link goes.
- Delete stops the link and its QR code working straight away. This can't be undone.
Use the search box to find a link by its short code, address or title. The number beside each link is its total clicks.
Good to know
- Short links belong to the page you're working on. Switch pages and you'll see that page's links.
- A page can have up to 500 short links. Delete one to make room for another.
- Short links only work while your page is live. If your page is unpublished or its plan ends, they stop until it's back.
