Short links are used to condense long URLs into shorter, cleaner versions — making them easier to share, remember, and track. Here’s what they’re commonly used for:
Social Media: Platforms like Twitter and Instagram have character limits — short links save space.
Marketing & Branding: Custom short links look more professional and can include brand names (e.g., clikz.me).
Tracking & Analytics: Shorteners often include click tracking, so you can see how many people clicked, where they came from, etc.
QR Code Generation: A short link creates cleaner, simpler QR codes.
Affiliate Links: You can hide long affiliate URLs behind short links for better presentation.
Print & Offline Use: Short links are much easier to type from posters, flyers, or business cards.
