Shorten any URL, keep every click.
Paste a long link, get a tidy bnkl.me/your-slug back, with a QR code and live click analytics attached. No signup needed to make your first one.
Highlights
- One-click shortening — Paste, press, done. Random slug by default; pick your own when you care.
- Real click analytics — Clicks by day, country, browser, and device: counted server-side, not with a tracking pixel.
- A QR for every link — Every short link ships with a matching QR code you can colour and brand.
- Expiry & scheduling — Set a link to go live later or stop redirecting on a date. No silent slug recycling, ever.
What makes a good short link
A short link is a promise: it should be tidy enough to print, trustworthy enough to click, and measurable enough to learn from. BlinkLink does all three without turning your URL into a tracking liability.
- Custom slugs: bnkl.me/spring-drop reads better than a random string and survives a poster reprint.
- Server-side click counts: accurate totals and per-country / per-device breakdowns, not a best-guess pixel.
- Password gates and expiry dates so a link can't outlive its purpose.
- An honest privacy posture: we never rewrite your destination or inject affiliate redirects.

Common questions
Do I need an account to shorten a URL?
No: you can create a short link from the homepage without signing up. Signing up (free) keeps your links forever and unlocks analytics.
How long does a short link last?
Forever by default. You can also set an explicit expiry date when you create or edit a link.
Is there click tracking?
Yes. Every redirect is logged server-side, so you get accurate click counts plus per-country, per-browser, and per-device breakdowns.
