Everything you need, included

Free short links with full analytics

A standard short link is free — a clean mumenlabs.com/s/ URL, a random code, complete click analytics, a QR code, and a re-pointable destination. No paywall, no meter, no monthly cap on how many you create.

Your links never expire

A short link stays live forever unless you explicitly set an expiry date. No 90-day cutoffs on bulk links, no dormant-link purges — the code you print today still resolves years from now.

Re-point without changing the link

The short link is stable; the destination isn't. Fix a typo, swap a landing page, or rotate a seasonal offer and every future click follows — the printed or shared link never changes.

Custom back-half

Trade the random code for a readable vanity slug like mumenlabs.com/s/summer-sale so people trust the link before they tap it. Just 2 credits ($0.10) per custom link.

Click analytics that actually help

See total and unique clicks, clicks over time, and breakdowns by country, device, OS, browser, and referrer, plus your most recent clicks — with CSV export. Included free on every link.

Smart targeting & A/B rotation

Send visitors to different destinations by country, device, or OS, or split traffic with weighted A/B rotation to test which page converts. Part of a Power link — 5 credits ($0.25).

Password, expiry & click limits

Lock a link behind a password, set it to expire on a date, or cap it at a fixed number of clicks — perfect for gated content, time-boxed promos, and limited offers. Power link, 5 credits.

QR code & UTM builder on every link

Every short link comes with a downloadable QR code for print, plus a built-in UTM campaign builder so your source, medium, and campaign tags are baked in and your analytics stay clean — both free.

Bulk shorten a whole list

Import a list of URLs and shorten them in one pass instead of pasting them one at a time — ideal for migrations, catalogs, and campaign rollouts.

Safe by default

Append /preview to any link to see exactly where it goes before you click, and rest easy knowing destinations are screened for phishing and malware. Redirects are clean and instant — no interstitial ad page.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is a URL shortener?
A URL shortener turns a long, messy web address into a short, tidy link that's easier to share, remember, and print. When someone opens the short link, it redirects them to the original destination. MumenLabs also records the click so you get analytics, and lets you change the destination later without changing the link.
How does a URL shortener work?
You paste a long URL and we create a short link like mumenlabs.com/s/abc123 that stores your destination. When someone clicks it, our server logs the click for your analytics and instantly redirects them to your target — with no interstitial ad page in between.
How do I shorten a URL?
Paste your long link into the shortener and we generate a short mumenlabs.com/s/ link right away. You can accept the random code for free, or set a custom back-half like /s/my-sale. Then optionally add a QR code, UTM tags, or power features before you share it.
Is it free, and how much does it cost?
A standard short link is completely free — including full click analytics, a QR code, a UTM builder, and a re-pointable destination. A custom back-half costs 2 credits ($0.10). A Power link (expiration, password, click limit, or smart targeting) costs 5 credits ($0.25). Credits come from your shared MumenLabs wallet at $0.05 each. Editing, pausing, viewing analytics, and deleting are always free.
Do shortened links expire?
Ours don't. A MumenLabs short link stays live forever unless you deliberately set an expiry date on it. That's a core promise: no 90-day cutoffs, no dormant-link purges. When Google's goo.gl shut down in August 2025, countless links in papers and on printed materials died — links here don't work that way.
Can I track clicks and see analytics?
Yes, on every link and for free. You get total clicks and unique clicks, clicks over time, and breakdowns by country, device, OS, browser, and referrer, plus a feed of your most recent clicks, exportable to CSV anytime. Free links keep the last 90 days of detailed click history — your lifetime click total is always counted and shown — and adding a custom back-half or power features unlocks unlimited history.
Can I customize the short link?
Yes. Instead of a random code you can choose a custom back-half — the part after /s/ — so your link reads like mumenlabs.com/s/spring-launch. A readable slug builds trust and is easier to say out loud or print. Custom back-halves cost 2 credits ($0.10).
Do I need an account?
You'll sign in to manage your links, view analytics, and re-point destinations, since those are tied to your dashboard and your credit wallet. Standard links are free to create; you only spend credits on custom back-halves and Power features.
Are shortened links safe?
Yes. We screen destination URLs for phishing and malware to protect the shared domain, and anyone can append /preview to a link to see exactly where it leads before clicking. Redirects are clean and instant, with no sketchy interstitial ad page.
Can I shorten links in bulk?
Yes. Use bulk shorten to import a whole list of URLs and turn them into short links in a single pass — handy for migrating an existing set of links, building a product catalog, or rolling out a large campaign.
Can I add UTM parameters?
Yes. The built-in UTM campaign builder lets you attach source, medium, campaign, and other tags to your destination so your traffic shows up correctly in your analytics tools. It's free and works on any link.
Can I generate a QR code from my link?
Every short link comes with a downloadable QR code, free. Print it on flyers, packaging, posters, or signage — and because the destination is re-pointable and the link never expires, the printed QR keeps working even after you change where it goes.
What happens to my links if the service shuts down — can I export them?
You own your data: you can export your links and their full click history to CSV at any time, so you always have a portable copy. And because links never expire on their own, they keep resolving as long as they're live — you're never forced into a bulk cutoff.
What's the difference between this and a subscription shortener like Bitly or TinyURL?
Subscription shorteners meter you into monthly plans and caps — some free tiers allow only a handful of links per month and show an ad page before the redirect. MumenLabs is pay-per-use: standard links are free with analytics, a QR code, and a re-pointable destination, and you only spend a few credits for a custom back-half or a Power link. There's no monthly bill, no link cap, no ad interstitial, and your links never expire.
Read the full overview

MumenLabs URL Shortener is a pay-per-use link shortener with no subscription. Standard links are free — with full click analytics, a QR code, a UTM builder, and a re-pointable destination; custom back-halves and smart-targeting, expiry, or password links cost a few credits; and your links never expire. You pay by the link you create, not by the month.

Pay per link, not per month

Most shorteners sell you a subscription and then ration what you get: monthly link caps, analytics behind a paywall, and — on some free tiers — an ad page shown before your visitor even reaches the destination. MumenLabs flips that. A standard short link costs nothing and includes the analytics, QR code, and re-pointing that others gate. You only spend credits when you want a custom back-half (2 credits, $0.10) or a Power link (5 credits, $0.25). No plan, no cap, no recurring bill.

Links that never die

Short links are supposed to outlive the campaign that created them. Too often they don't: Google's goo.gl shut down on August 25, 2025, silently breaking links baked into academic papers, printed materials, and old QR codes, and some tools quietly expire bulk links after 90 days. A MumenLabs link stays live forever unless you set an expiry yourself — so the QR on last year's poster still works today.

How it works

Paste any long URL and we mint a clean mumenlabs.com/s/<code> link instantly. Keep the random code or set a readable custom slug like mumenlabs.com/s/my-sale. Share it anywhere, and every click is logged and redirected in one fast hop — no interstitial. Because the short link is stable and the destination is re-pointable, you can fix a typo or swap the landing page later and the link you already shared keeps working.

Analytics you can act on

Every link reports total and unique clicks, clicks over time, and breakdowns by country, device, OS, browser, and referrer, plus a feed of your most recent clicks — all exportable to CSV. See which channel actually drove traffic instead of guessing, at no extra cost.

Smart links for serious campaigns

Turn a link into a Power link to route visitors to different destinations by country, device, or OS, or split traffic with weighted A/B rotation to test what converts. Add a password, an expiry date, or a click limit for gated content, time-boxed promos, and limited offers — a single flat 5 credits ($0.25) per Power link.

Safe and trustworthy

Destinations are screened for phishing and malware to protect the domain, and anyone can append /preview to a link to see where it goes before clicking. The redirect itself is clean and instant, with no ad page skimming your visitors.

Built for how you actually share links

Tidy up a social bio link, tag a marketing campaign with UTMs, print a QR code on packaging, cloak and track an affiliate link, fit a URL into a 160-character SMS, or hand out an event link — with bulk shorten to convert a whole list at once. One tool, paid for by the link, with permanence and analytics built in.

Shorten your first URL in seconds — free, with a QR code and analytics, and a link that never expires.
