Free forever · the open Bitly alternative

Short links you can edit.
Analytics you actually own.

Visitly turns long URLs into fast, branded short links — then lets you change the destination, rename the back-half, and track every click. All free.

No credit card. One account per email.

Everything you need to run links

The features other shorteners hide behind subscriptions — included from day one.

Editable destinations

Repoint any link after you share it. The short URL never changes — only where it goes.

Editable back-halves

Rename a slug whenever you like. Old links keep resolving through automatic aliases.

Full analytics, free

Clicks over time, countries, referrers, devices and browsers. No row caps, no paywall.

Edge-fast redirects

Links resolve from Cloudflare’s global edge, typically in well under 50 ms.

Developer API

Create and manage links programmatically with per-key, scoped access.

AI-ready keys

Every API key ships a ready-to-use skill file your AI assistant can use — safely scoped to your account.
