What does the URL Shortener do?
The URL Shortener turns long destinations into compact links you can paste in bios, SMS, or print. The browser sends your long URL (and optional settings) to Dynamic Duniya’s tools API; on success you get a short code or custom alias that resolves through this site’s /s/… route so visitors never see a raw backend hostname in the shared link. The results panel shows the public short URL, a copy button, a small QR code for that URL, the original destination (expandable when very long), click count with refresh, and expiry text when applicable.
Advanced options and stats
Open Advanced options to set a custom alias—input is restricted to letters, digits, underscore, and hyphen. When the alias is at least three characters, the page polls the stats endpoint: HTTP 404 is treated as “available,” other responses as “taken,” with lightweight icons in the field. Expiry can stay Never or switch to 1, 7, or 30 days. After shortening, stats load automatically; you can also look up any existing code or alias in the separate “Check stats” section to see clicks, created time, expiry, and a short list of recent clicks with timestamps and truncated referrers.
Privacy
Long URLs, aliases, and click metadata are processed and stored on Dynamic Duniya infrastructure. Do not shorten credentials, private document links, or regulated health data unless policy allows. Shared short links may be followed by anyone who guesses or receives the code.
