More about Surl.lt link shortener domain

The term “sURL” is artificial and comes from two words: short and URL (Uniform Resource Locator). An analogue of the abbreviation URL is also the slang word ‘link’ or “reference” in Ukrainian. Together, they form the term surl, which means a short analogue of a long link. This concept formed the basis for the name of the link shortening service Surl.li. From this point of view, sURL is a term designed to give a short name to shortened online addresses, and on the other hand, it is the proper name of the link shortening site where you are located. Today, Surl.li aims to become a service where users can manage short URLs to the site through their personal account and shorten links in one click online on our site without registration or payment. 

We make every effort to ensure that every link from our service that you see on the web, in your SMS messages, or in messengers guarantees the safety of your transition. We are working on a system that verifies every shortened link. This way, you can safely follow short links. 

The service is regularly updated and expanded with new features, from link statistics to new customized rates, from mass link shortening to a convenient API service. In the future, we will be able to shorten links not only on our domains, but also on your own. Add your own, register new domains with us, and expand without limits. Brand your own links, “trim” long links, and create short analogues.

The surl.li platform offers a comprehensive toolkit for URL shortening, supported by multiple domains tailored to different use cases. Among them is the surl.lt domain, which can serve either as your primary shortlink domain or as an optional alternative for specific needs. Whichever you choose, you’ll gain access to a powerful and flexible link management system.

Here’s what you can do:

• Instantly generate short links with a single click, whether you're on the main site or logged into your account.

• Shorten large batches of URLs by uploading a list or a file — the system will process them quickly and provide a report within minutes. A 30-day history of your shortened links is also saved for easy reference.

• Update existing short links whenever needed — reroute traffic to a new destination or run A/B tests effortlessly.

• Customize your short links by setting your own alias, giving each link a unique and recognizable identity.

• Protect your links with a password — only those with the correct key will be able to access the destination, making it ideal for sharing exclusive or paid content.

• Add UTM parameters to your original links for better tracking and marketing insights.

All of these features are available to every registered user. The platform is constantly evolving, with many more exciting tools and enhancements on the horizon.

A Short Link Will Come in Handy for many reasons

A short link is a complete analogue of a long URL. This allows you to transfer addresses of any length, such as links to specific products in an online store, or use additional parameters such as UTM. A short link stores the entire long link along with the parameters and simply redirects the user to the final URL. This completely eliminates a number of problems:
- Long links will not be truncated by messengers;
- Shortened URLs look equally good in advertising posts and presentations;
- You can use shortened addresses to generate simpler QR codes, which store fewer elements and are easier to recognize;
- The shortened link is easy to remember because it contains only a few characters.
The special value of short links is revealed in printed sources and presentations. Just imagine, all you need to do is print a link consisting of a few characters or generate a QR code from it, and anyone who sees such a link can easily follow it from their smartphone. Links for PDF or Word files — the short URL service sURL can do it all.
