How to use it

  1. Paste the long link. Add a custom ending if you want something readable, like is.gd/spring_menu.
  2. Press Shorten, then copy the short link or turn it straight into a QR code.

What it’s for

Links that are too long for a text message, a slide, a printed flyer or a social post. The short link is made by is.gd (or v.gd, which shows people a preview of where the link goes before sending them there). Those are free public services, so the link you paste is sent to them, and the short link works for anyone, forever. Your list of recent links stays in your own browser.
