About FattyURL
Why we built a free URL shortener with no sign up, no ads on links and no expiring links.
FattyURL was born out of frustration. When the big URL shorteners gutted their free plans, added interstitial ads to shortened links, and started charging hundreds of dollars for basic click analytics, we knew there had to be a better way.
We built FattyURL to be the free URL shortener the internet deserves: no sign up, no login, no account, no asterisk. Not "free with an asterisk," not "free trial," not "free but we'll show your visitors ads." Actually, genuinely, permanently free.
What We Believe About Free Links
Short links should be free
URL shortening is a utility, not a luxury product. It should be accessible to everyone.
Free click analytics
Knowing who clicks your links should not require a paid plan. We include full click analytics free.
Links should never expire
Links on fattyurl.com never expire. Read our promise.
