Link Shortening

Sometimes, web links can be super long and hard to share. That's where Link Sanitizer's link shortening feature comes in!
Link shortening is like giving a long name a nickname. Instead of a long web address, you get a short one that takes you to the same place.
Link Sanitizer uses a service called TinyURL to shorten links. When you click the "Shorten" button, it sends your cleaned link to TinyURL, and TinyURL gives back a shorter version.
- Easier to Share: Short links are easier to copy, paste, and send to friends.
- Looks Cleaner: Short links look nicer and take up less space.
- Good for Social Media: Some social media sites have limits on how long links can be.
- Clean the link: First, paste your long link into Link Sanitizer and let it clean it up.
- Click "Shorten": Click the "Shorten" button.
- See the short link: The short link will appear in the "Shortened Link" box.
- Copy the short link: Click the "Copy" button next to the short link.
Let's say you have this long link:

After clicking "Shorten", you might get something like this:

Link Sanitizer uses TinyURL for shortening. If TinyURL is having problems, the shortening might not work.
