What is tny.im?

tny.im is another URL shortener - except that we do shortening much better than others. URL shorteners let you to turn long and ugly URLs into smaller links like http://tny.im/3A.

tny.im does just that, and more: statistics of the clicks in your links, Bitcoin address shortening and email protection; optional URL preview, bookmarklets for easy shortening and an optional toolbar for social sharing are just some of the features.

Statistics

To view detailed click statistics for any short URL, just add the plus sign + after it, like this:

http://tny.im/a+

Short link editing

The person who created a short link can edit it later, through the functionality in the Manage tab of the statistics page for that link. Make sure to save the passcode given when a new URL is shortened.

Link preview

Short URLs are often considered unsafe because their destination is unknown. To preview any tny.im short URL, add the tilde sign ~ to its end, for instance:
