Link Shortener
Turn a long web address into a short link you own. Pick your own ending, see every click with the country and the site that sent it, and change where it points long after you have shared it.
Leave blank and we’ll make one up
Your links
The pencil changes where a link points — every copy already shared follows the new destination. The power button switches a link off without deleting it, so its click history survives.
Questions about short links
Is it free?
Yes. Shortening links, custom endings and the full click report are all free. You make a free KEMETORY account so the links belong to you and their click history is kept.
Can I choose my own ending?
Yes. Type any ending made of letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores — summer-sale becomes kemetory.com/l/summer-sale. The field tells you as you type whether it is free. Leave it blank and a short random ending is generated instead.
Can I change where a link points after sharing it?
Yes, and it is the main reason to use one. The link forwards through KEMETORY, so editing the destination re-points every copy already shared, printed or saved — the link itself never changes and its click count carries over. Ideal for a bio link, a printed flyer, or fixing an address you got wrong.
What does the click report show?
How many clicks a link got, how many were different people rather than the same person coming back, when they clicked, the country and approximate city, the device, system and browser, and which site sent them. That last one is why you would use a different short link in each place you post.
Do link previews count as clicks?
No. When WhatsApp, Facebook, Slack or a search crawler fetches your link to build a preview, that fetch is recognised and left out. Only real people are counted.
Can a link expire?
Yes. Give it an expiry date and it forwards normally until then and stops afterwards. You can also switch a link off at any time and back on later — switching off keeps the click history, deleting does not.
What do you store about people who click?
No address, no precise position and no personal detail. The network address a click arrives on is used to work out an approximate country and city and then discarded, the browser’s user agent becomes a coarse device/system/browser label, and the referring site is reduced to its host name. Country is reliable; city is a rough hint, because a phone on mobile data usually resolves to its carrier’s gateway.
Can I get a QR code for a short link?
Yes — paste it into the free KEMETORY QR code generator and you get a scannable code for it, with its own scan tracking on top of the link’s click tracking.
