Free URL shortener FAQ
Is the URL shortener really free?
Yes. Create a free account without a credit card and keep one active smart link on the Free plan.
Does the short link include LinkDirect’s handoff?
Yes. The free link uses the same redirect service and supported in-app browser handoff as a LinkDirect smart link.
Can I edit the destination or view statistics?
Those management features unlock after registration. The secure claim token stored in your browser connects the link to the account you create.
Do you remove UTM or affiliate parameters?
No. The complete destination URL is stored and forwarded, including its query parameters.
