About Alias — URL Shortener
Shorten any URL without leaving the page you're on. Right-click any link and choose "Shorten this link" — or right-click the page itself and choose "Shorten this page URL." Either way the short link is copied to your clipboard, ready to paste.
See where a short link actually goes. Right-click any shortened URL and choose "Expand this link." Alias follows the whole redirect chain and shows you the final destination — and how long each hop took — before you click it.
No sign-in required. Alias works in guest mode straight after installation: open the popup, paste a URL, shorten it in seconds. Guests get 5 links a day.
Connect a free account for more. Add your API key and you get 1,000 links a day, custom slugs, password-protected links, expiry dates, and every link saved to your dashboard with click analytics. Your recent links appear right in the popup.
Works in English and Spanish, following your browser's language.
Free. No ads. Get an API key at aliasurlshortener.com/account.
