About the Toolers URL Shortener
Long addresses full of tracking parameters break across lines in emails, waste characters in posts, look untrustworthy in print and are impossible to read aloud. The Toolers URL Shortener condenses them into a short link, optionally with a custom alias you choose, and generates a matching QR code so the same destination works on screen and on paper.
A local click history keeps recent links together with their usage counts, so you can see which links you actually share and pull one back without hunting through old messages. The history lives in your own browser storage rather than in an account.
Custom aliases and QR codes
A readable alias such as spring-guide tells people where they are going and survives being retyped from a printed page far better than a random string. The generated QR code points at the same short link, which means one destination behind both channels: change nothing and both keep working. Download the code for posters, packaging and slides where a clickable link is not an option.
Using short links responsibly
Short links hide their destination, so people are right to be cautious about them. Add context in the surrounding text, use a descriptive alias, and never disguise a destination people would refuse if they could see it. For anything permanent, such as printed material or archival documentation, keep a record of the original address so the destination can be recovered if the short link is ever lost.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Enter an alphanumeric alias when creating the link. If it is already in use you will be asked for another one.
