AnonShort is a privacy‑focused URL shortener that delivers anonymous, secure, and fast redirects with a clean UI.
No logs. No tracking. No cookies. No ads. Just straightforward link management that protects your privacy.

Ideal for privacy advocates, developers, security researchers, journalists, and anyone who needs trackless redirect and private link sharing.

• 🔒 Privacy-first: no tracking, no ads, and optional no‑referrer redirects.
• ⚡ Fast and reliable: lightweight service optimized for low latency.
• 🧰 Developer-friendly: generous Public API with QR support.
• 🎯 Zero-nonsense: clean, accessible, and responsive interface.

• Custom short paths / slugs
• Password‑protected links
• Time‑based expiry (TTL)
• One‑time access links
• Self‑destruct links (max‑clicks)
• Private stats page
• Anonymous redirect (no‑referrer)
• Built‑in QR code generator
• Public API for automation
• Lightweight, ad‑free interface

Tip: Pin important links and share the QR directly from the stats page.

• Share sensitive links without exposing the original source (no‑referrer).
• Distribute single‑use URLs (one‑time access) for gated content.
• Time‑bound sharing with expiry for temporary access.
• Programmatic link creation and QR generation via the Public API.
• Minimal‑footprint links for documentation, chats, and social posts.
