Getting started

From a long URL to a tracked short link in two minutes.

Updated View as Markdown

This is the shortest honest path to a working, tracked short link.

Shorten a URL

Go to in.bio, paste a long URL into the box, and press Shorten. You get a short link like in.bio/a8K2p and a QR code — no account needed. Copy it, open it, share it, or download the QR.

Create a free account

Click Save & track this link on the result screen. Registering right after shortening automatically claims the link into your account. You can also sign up with Google.

Create a link with a custom slug

In the dashboard press Create link (always in the sidebar). A random available slug is pre-filled — edit it to anything 4–64 characters (a–z, 0–9, -, _), like in.bio/spring-sale. Add a title, folder, and tags if you want structure from day one.

Watch the clicks come in

Share the link anywhere. Clicks appear within seconds in Events (a live click log) and roll up into Analytics — clicks over time, countries, devices, browsers, and referrers, with bots already filtered out.

What you just got

Every link you create has:

Included Details
Short URL in.bio/your-slug, served from cache in milliseconds
QR code Points at the short URL — style it any time
Analytics Clicks, visitors, geo, devices
Safety scan Every destination is checked for phishing and malware
