How Bulk URL Shortening Works
Three steps. No account. No waiting. Your shortened links are ready in seconds.
Paste your URLs
Copy a column from your spreadsheet or paste any list of long URLs into the input box below — one URL per line. Supports any valid HTTP or HTTPS address, including URLs with query parameters and UTM tags.
Click Shorten All
LinkShrink processes each URL through the POST /api/v1/shorten endpoint in parallel. Every link gets a unique short code under the linkshrink.dev domain. Errors are isolated — one bad URL does not block the rest.
Copy or download your results
Copy any individual short link with one click, or download all results as a CSV with original and shortened URLs side by side. Ready to paste back into your spreadsheet, CRM, or email campaign tool.
Interactive Bulk Shortener
Paste your URLs below and shorten them all at once. No signup required.
Bulk Shortening via API
Automate bulk URL shortening in any language. No authentication. No limits on request frequency.
# Shorten multiple URLs in one API call (up to 100 per request) curl -X POST https://linkshrink.dev/api/v1/shorten/bulk \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "urls": [ "https://example.com/campaign/page-one", "https://example.com/campaign/page-two", "https://example.com/campaign/page-three" ] }' # Response: # { # "status": "success", # "data": [ # { "originalUrl": "https://example.com/campaign/page-one", "shortUrl": "https://linkshrink.dev/abc123" }, # { "originalUrl": "https://example.com/campaign/page-two", "shortUrl": "https://linkshrink.dev/def456" }, # { "originalUrl": "https://example.com/campaign/page-three", "shortUrl": "https://linkshrink.dev/ghi789" } # ] # }

Who Uses Bulk URL Shorteners?
From marketing campaigns to developer automation — bulk shortening saves time at scale.
Email Marketers
Shorten every link in your newsletter template before sending. Cleaner links improve click-through rates and prevent wrapping in plain-text clients. Download the CSV and paste directly into your email platform.
Developers & Engineers
Integrate the bulk API endpoint into migration scripts, deployment pipelines, or content management workflows. No API key or authentication setup — import the endpoint and start shortening in minutes.
Growth & Analytics Teams
Shorten hundreds of tracking URLs from your UTM builder at once. Each short link retains the full UTM parameters at the destination, so your analytics stay intact while your links stay share-friendly.
Social Media Managers
Prepare a week's worth of posts in one batch. Paste your content calendar URLs, shorten them all, and schedule posts without manually shortening each link one by one across multiple tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I shorten multiple URLs at once?
Use the interactive tool above — paste your URLs one per line and click Shorten All. For programmatic use, send a POST request to https://linkshrink.dev/api/v1/shorten/bulk with a JSON body containing a urls array of up to 100 addresses. No API key or account is needed.
Is bulk URL shortening free?
Yes, completely free. Unlike Bitly (which charges $35/month for bulk access) or Rebrandly ($13/month), LinkShrink provides bulk shortening at no cost, forever. There are no paid tiers, no credit card required, and no hidden quotas.
How many URLs can I shorten at once?
The API bulk endpoint accepts up to 100 URLs per request. For larger batches, loop over your list in chunks of 100 from your script — the Python and Node.js examples above show exactly how. The interactive tool on this page handles any number by processing in sequential batches automatically.
Can I use the bulk shortener API programmatically?
Yes. Send a POST to https://linkshrink.dev/api/v1/shorten/bulk with a JSON body {"urls": ["https://...", "https://..."]}. No authentication headers, no API key. Works from any language that supports HTTP requests. Code examples for cURL, Node.js, and Python are on this page.
Is there a CSV import for bulk shortening?
The interactive tool accepts URLs pasted line by line, which you can copy directly from a spreadsheet column. For CSV-based automation, use the API: read your CSV file in Python or Node.js, extract the URL column, and POST batches to the bulk endpoint. The Python example above demonstrates this pattern end-to-end.
Can I download the bulk results?
Yes. After shortening your batch with the tool above, click Download CSV to save a two-column file with your original URLs and their short equivalents side by side. This is ready to import back into Google Sheets, Excel, or your CRM.
How does LinkShrink bulk compare to Bitly bulk?
LinkShrink bulk shortening is free with no signup. Bitly restricts bulk features to plans starting at $35/month and requires OAuth2 API keys. LinkShrink also stores zero visitor data — no IP addresses, no device fingerprinting — while Bitly's free tier collects full analytics data from every redirect.
Does bulk shortening support custom aliases?
Custom aliases are supported via the API. In your urls array, pass objects instead of strings: {"url": "https://...", "customAlias": "my-slug"}. The interactive tool above generates automatic short codes for speed. For full alias control, use the API directly.
