TinyURL is built for instant, anonymous shortening. That is great for quick shares, but you may want click counts, a link history, custom short codes, or your own domain.
MyURL gives you a TinyURL-style workflow on the homepage — paste a long URL and get a short link — with optional sign-in for analytics, aliases, bio page, and one custom domain.

When MyURL fits well
- You still want fast shortening but also need to see how many clicks a link got.
- You share links in bios, newsletters, or ads and want one place to review them.
- You want short links on your own domain without a premium TinyURL plan.
When TinyURL may still win
- You only need an anonymous one-off short link and never look at stats.
FAQ
- Is MyURL as simple as TinyURL?
- The homepage works the same way: paste a URL and shorten. Extras like analytics, aliases, bio page, and a custom domain appear when you create an account — they are optional.
- Do I need an account?
- No for basic shortening. Sign up if you want click analytics, link lists, custom aliases, a bio page, or your own short domain.
