How it works
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.
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.
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
File hosting built in
Most shorteners only trim a URL you already have. Here you can upload the file itself and get a short link to it, hosting and shortening in one place.
A QR code on every link
Each short link comes with a free QR code, so the same destination works whether people click or scan. No add-on and no extra tool.
Clicks you can see
A built-in dashboard shows the clicks on your links. It is clear, dependable analytics, not a replacement for a dedicated marketing-analytics suite.
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.
