About FattyURL
The story of why we built the world's most honest URL shortener.
FattyURL was born out of frustration. When the industry leaders gutted their free plans, added interstitial ads to shortened links, and started charging hundreds of dollars for basic analytics, we knew there had to be a better way.
We built FattyURL to be the URL shortener that the internet deserves — simple, powerful, and actually free. Not "free with an asterisk," not "free trial," not "free but we'll show your visitors ads." Actually, genuinely, permanently free.
What We Believe
Short links should be free
URL shortening is a utility, not a luxury product. It should be accessible to everyone.
Analytics for all
Knowing who clicks your links shouldn't cost $199/month. We include full data for free.
Links should never die
Your short links will work forever. Read our promise.
Privacy matters
We never store raw IP addresses and never sell your data. Your privacy is our priority.
