minimalink is more than just a URL shortener. It's a complete link management platform designed to help you create, track, and optimize your links. In this guide, we'll walk through every feature minimalink offers and show you how to get the most out of each one.
Core Features (Free for Everyone)
Every minimalink user, even on the free plan, gets access to these essential features:
🔗 Instant URL Shortening
Turn any long URL into a clean, short link in seconds. Just paste your URL, click "Shorten," and you're done. Your short link (like mnml.ink/abc123) is immediately ready to share. No account required for basic shortening.
📊 Basic Click Statistics
See how many times your link has been clicked. Free users get a simple click counter to track link performance. Want detailed analytics? Upgrade to Pro for geographic data, referrer information, and click trends over time.
📋 Link History
Access your recently created links from your dashboard. Free users can see links created in the past 7 days. Pro and Business users get unlimited link history, so you never lose track of important URLs.
⚡ Lightning-Fast Redirects
Our optimized infrastructure ensures your links redirect in under 50 milliseconds. No annoying loading screens or interstitial pages—just instant redirection to your destination.
Pro Features ($3/month)
Upgrade to Pro to unlock powerful features for marketers, creators, and businesses:
✏️ Custom Short Codes PRO
Instead of random characters, choose your own memorable short codes. Create links like mnml.ink/summer-sale or mnml.ink/my-portfolio. Custom codes must be 3-20 characters and can include letters, numbers, and hyphens.
📱 QR Code Generation PRO
Every link you create automatically gets a downloadable QR code. Perfect for business cards, flyers, product packaging, restaurant menus, and print marketing. QR codes are high-resolution and ready for printing at any size.
⏱️ Expiring Links PRO
Set an expiration date on any link. After the date passes, visitors see an "expired" message instead of being redirected. Great for limited-time offers, flash sales, temporary access, and event registrations.
📈 Detailed Analytics PRO
Go beyond simple click counts. See click trends over time with charts, geographic distribution of visitors, referrer sources showing where traffic comes from, and device/browser breakdown.
📥 CSV Export PRO
Download all your links and their statistics as a CSV file. Import into Excel, Google Sheets, or your analytics platform for custom reporting and deeper analysis.
🏷️ Link Titles & Notes PRO
Add titles or notes to your links so you remember what they're for. Organizing a big campaign? Label each link clearly. Never wonder "what was this link for?" again.
Business Features ($9/month)
For teams and enterprises that need even more power:
🔌 API Access BUSINESS
Integrate minimalink directly into your applications. Create short links programmatically, retrieve analytics data, and automate your link management workflows. Full REST API with comprehensive documentation.
