A short link, or its QR code, is far easier to read off paper than a long address.
Shorten a link, or a whole list, free
Paste a long web address and get a short one on bulkwizards.com. Choose your own ending, set an expiry, add campaign tags, or shorten a list in one go. Every link gets a QR code and a click count.
Short links are easy to type, share and print. See the notes below for what the password option does and does not do.
Features
What you get
- Custom endings, checked as you type
- Type the ending you want and it says at once whether it is free, too short, or a word this site already uses.
- Random codes
- Leave the ending empty and you get a random code of 5 to 10 characters, without look-alike letters such as l and 1.
- A list at a time
- Paste one address per line (add a comma and an alias to choose its ending), or load a CSV with url and alias columns. Every valid line gets its own short link, and you are told which were left out.
- Expiry and campaign tags
- Stop a link after 1, 7 or 30 days or on a date, and add utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign to the address without breaking the ones it already has.
- Your links, clicks and QR codes
- The list shows each link with its clicks and expiry. Refresh the counts, copy or open a link, download its QR code (or all of them as a ZIP), delete it, or export the list as a CSV.
- Web addresses only
- Only http and https addresses can be shortened, so a short link can never be turned into something that runs code.
How it works

Paste your link
A full address, or just example.com and https:// is added for you.
Choose the options
An ending, an expiry, campaign tags and a password screen are all optional.

Copy and share
Copy the link, download its QR code, or export the whole list.
Uses
When a short link helps
Social posts and messages
Keep a message tidy and give the link a name people can remember.
Campaign links
Give each campaign its own alias and watch its click count.
Lists of links
Shorten a spreadsheet of addresses in one go.
Choosing a good alias
- Keep it short and readable. Use letters, numbers and hyphens you can say out loud.
- Make it describe the destination or the campaign, such as summer26.
- Avoid characters that are easy to confuse, such as a lowercase L and the number 1.
- An alias can be used once. If you need the same name for a new destination, delete the old link first.
To print a link, add its QR code. You can also make a QR code for any address with the QR code generator.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
There is no fixed limit and no account. You can shorten one link, or paste a list or upload a CSV to shorten many at once.
Yes. Type an ending and your link becomes bulkwizards.com/your-ending. It tells you as you type whether it is free. In a list, put a comma and the ending after an address, or use an alias column in a CSV. Lines without one get a random code.
Not unless you set an expiry: in 1, 7 or 30 days, or on a date you pick. After it the link shows an expired message. Links you delete stop working.
You can add one, and visitors are asked for it before they are sent on. It is a light gate, not security: the password and the destination are stored with the link and can be read by someone who looks. Do not use it for anything private.
Yes. Each link in your list shows how many times it has been opened, and Refresh clicks updates the numbers. There are no charts or visitor details.
Yes. Signed in, the list shows every link you made with your account. Without an account it shows the links made in this browser. You can also export the list as a CSV.
Yes. Download a 1024-pixel PNG for any short link, or a ZIP of all of them.
Yes. Tick "Add campaign tags" and fill in source, medium and campaign. They are added to the address as utm_ tags, and any tags it already has are kept.
Only web addresses that start with http:// or https:// (or a bare domain, which gets https://). Other kinds, such as javascript: or ftp:, are refused.
