A short link for any file

Shorten a link to a tiny upl.tf URL, with a free QR code and click tracking, or upload a file and get a short link straight to it in one step.

Drop your file here

Anyone with the link · images, audio, video, docs, text & data, or .zip

By uploading, you agree to our Terms and Data Processing Terms and confirm you have the right to share this content.

How it works

  1. Add a file or a URL

    Upload a file with the box above to get a short link straight to it, or shorten a URL you already have. Either way you get a compact upl.tf link.

  2. Get your short link

    We generate an ultra-short upl.tf link with a matching QR code. The free plan includes a generous batch of short links; paid plans make them unlimited.

  3. Share and track

    Share the link anywhere and watch the clicks in your dashboard. Free accounts see recent history; paid plans keep it for much longer.

Why shorten links here

Frequently asked questions

How short are the links?
Links are served on the ultra-short upl.tf domain, so a shortened URL is only a few characters long, which is ideal for print, chat, and anywhere space is tight.
How many short links can I create?
The free plan includes a generous number of short links, and every paid plan makes them unlimited. You can also set your own custom link names: a few on the free plan, many more on Pro, and unlimited from Business up.
Can I shorten a link to a file, not just a URL?
Yes, and that is the difference here. You can upload a file and get a short link straight to it, or shorten an external URL you already have. Both live in the same dashboard.
Do short links come with analytics?
Yes. Every link has a click-analytics dashboard, free included. Free accounts see a recent window of history and paid plans keep it for much longer. We do not try to out-measure dedicated analytics platforms, just give you clear, dependable numbers.
Is there a QR code too?
Yes. Every short link gets a matching QR code at no cost, so you can print or display the link and let people scan straight to the destination.
