Powerful Features
Everything you need to create, manage, and track your short links.
Update the destination URL of any shortened link without changing the short link itself. Perfect for campaigns that need flexibility.
Every short link comes with a free, customizable QR code. Choose from multiple templates to match your brand.
Direct users to specific content within your mobile apps. Automatically detects iOS and Android devices for seamless app deep linking.
Every short link counts its visits and keeps the date of the latest one, so your dashboard shows which links people actually open.
Create optional landing pages with custom content before redirecting users. Perfect for providing context or additional information.
Use tags, reference IDs, and custom landing page IDs to organize your links. Add names and descriptions for easy management.

Share links in video descriptions, podcasts, and blog posts. A short, readable link is easier to type, say aloud and remember.
Security & Privacy
Your safety and privacy are our top priorities.
Before a link is saved, its destination is checked against a public phishing blocklist and a list of blocked file types such as .exe, .zip and .rar. A link that fails is refused.
Users can report suspicious or harmful links. Our team reviews all reports and takes action to maintain a safe platform.
A link whose destination Posty5 cannot treat as safe, such as a plain http:// address, opens a Posty5 check page first, and the visitor decides whether to continue.
We protect your data and respect your privacy. Your links and data remain secure.
Limits & Best Practices
Understand our limits and how to get the most out of our tools.
Each short link saved to your account uses credits from your plan; the Posty5 guide lists how many. Downloading a link's QR code image is free.
Use descriptive names and tags to organize your links for easy management.
Test your short links before sharing them publicly to ensure they redirect correctly.
Check each link's visit count in your dashboard to see which links your audience opens.
A destination must start with http:// or https://. A link that points straight at a file download such as .exe, .zip or .rar is refused.
Custom landing page IDs must be 4-32 characters long and contain only lowercase letters, numbers, or hyphens.
