Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our URL shortener.
What is a URL shortener?
A URL shortener transforms long, unwieldy web addresses into concise, shareable links. FastLinkIt goes further by adding custom branding, click analytics, UTM tracking, QR code generation, and expiration controls to every link you create.
Can I create custom short links?
Yes. FastLinkIt lets you choose your own short code for every link, so you can create branded URLs like flnk.it/your-brand. Short codes are checked for availability in real time as you type. Minimum code length depends on your plan (6 characters on Free/Starter/Basic, 5 on Professional/Unlimited).
Do short links expire?
You can set an optional expiration date on any short link. Once a link expires it stops redirecting, which is ideal for limited-time promotions, event registrations, or seasonal campaigns. Links without an expiration date remain active indefinitely.
Can I track who clicks my links?
Every click is tracked in real time. You can see device type, browser, operating system, country, city, referrer, and more. Interactive charts and a filterable dashboard make it easy to understand your audience. Professional and Unlimited plans unlock advanced stats including continent, region, timezone, ISP, and connection type.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan includes up to 5 links per month, 10 MB file uploads, 10 MB total storage, QR code generation, and basic click analytics at no cost. No credit card required. Upgrade anytime for higher limits, ad-free redirects, and advanced features.
Can I upload files as short links?
Absolutely. Upload any file — PDFs, images, documents, archives — and FastLinkIt generates a short download link for it. File size limits depend on your plan, ranging from 10 MB on Free up to 500 MB on Unlimited. Every download is tracked with the same analytics available for URL links.
