What Is a URL Shortener?

Turn long URLs into clean, trackable short links.

A URL shortener turns long web addresses into short, branded links — easy to share and track. Share a clean link like clickslab.io/your-brand instead of a long URL.

Clickslab goes beyond basic shortening — every link includes real-time analytics with location, device, and referrer data. Add a custom slug or let us generate one.

How It Works

Create a short link in three steps.

Shorten any URL in seconds — no technical skills required.

  1. 1

    Paste your long URL

    Paste the URL you want to shorten into the input field — blog posts, product pages, videos, any valid link.

  2. 2

    Add a custom slug (optional)

    Personalise with a slug like clickslab.io/summer-sale. Branded links look professional and get more clicks.

  3. 3

    Share and track every click

    Share anywhere — social, email, SMS, or print. Every click is tracked in real time with full analytics.

Short Links — Frequently Asked Questions

These are the most commonly asked questions about ClicksLab.

Short Links Questions

How do I shorten a URL with ClicksLab?
To shorten a URL with ClicksLab, paste your long link into the shortener on your dashboard or homepage and click 'Shorten'. Your short link is created instantly and ready to share anywhere. You can optionally add a custom slug to make the link more memorable before you create it.
Does ClicksLab provide analytics for shortened URLs?
Yes. Every ClicksLab short link comes with built-in analytics showing total clicks, geographic location, device type (mobile vs desktop), referrer source, and click trends over time. Analytics are available for free on all plans — no upgrade required to see who is clicking your links.
Can I create custom branded short links?
Yes. With ClicksLab you can customise the slug of your short link — for example, clickslab.io/your-product — to create branded, recognisable URLs instead of random characters. Custom branded short links look more professional and typically achieve higher click-through rates than generic shortened URLs.
What is the best URL shortener for Instagram?
ClicksLab is one of the best URL shorteners for Instagram because it combines short links, a Link in Bio bento page, and QR codes in one free tool. Since Instagram only allows one bio link, ClicksLab's Link in Bio page lets you share multiple destinations from a single branded URL — and track every click.
How many links can I shorten per month for free?
The ClicksLab free plan allows you to create up to 50 new short links per month. Clicking existing links, generating QR codes, or viewing analytics does not count towards this limit. The counter resets at the start of each calendar month.
Are ClicksLab short links good for SEO?
ClicksLab short links use 301 permanent redirects, which pass full link equity to the destination URL and are treated correctly by search engines. Using short links in social posts or email does not negatively affect your SEO. For content you want indexed directly, always link to the canonical destination URL.
