About

t.co is a URL shortening service used by X to wrap links shared in posts and direct messages, helping protect users from malicious websites and phishing attacks.

The service automatically converts all shared URLs into fixed-length redirect links, checks destinations against lists of dangerous sites, displays warning pages for suspicious content, and tracks link clicks and engagement signals.

TinyURL is one of the oldest URL shortening services, operating since 2002, that generates compact redirect links for websites, emails, social media, and marketing campaigns.

The service supports custom aliases, branded domains, QR code generation, editable destinations, expiration rules, bulk link creation, and click analytics.
