❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about NanoURL features and functionality

1How do I create a short URL?

Creating a short URL is simple: visit our homepage, paste your long URL, optionally customize it with an alias or password, then click "Shorten URL". You'll instantly get your short link, QR code, and management link.

2Is NanoURL really free?

Yes, absolutely! NanoURL is completely free with unlimited URL shortening, all features included (custom aliases, passwords, analytics, QR codes), and no registration required.

3How long do my shortened URLs last?

By default, your links last forever unless you set an expiry date or click limit. You have complete control over how long your links remain active through the optional settings.

4Can I customize my short URLs?

Yes! You can create custom aliases to make memorable links like nanourl.in/my-website. Custom aliases must be 3-30 characters, unique, and can contain letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores.

Examples: nanourl.in/holiday-photos, nanourl.in/event2024, nanourl.in/my_portfolio

5How secure are my links?

Very secure! We use SSL encryption, secure servers, and offer password protection for sensitive links. You can also set expiry dates and click limits for additional control over your links.

6Can I see who clicked my links?

You get detailed analytics including total clicks, timestamps, countries/cities, referrer sources, and device types. However, we don't track individual users - all data is anonymized for privacy.

7Can I edit or delete my shortened URLs?

You can delete links and modify settings like passwords or expiry dates using your management URL. However, the short URL itself and destination cannot be changed once created.

8Do I get QR codes for my links?

Yes! Every shortened URL automatically gets a high-quality QR code that you can download and use for print materials, business cards, presentations, or anywhere you need offline-to-online connectivity.

9What if a shortened URL stops working?

We maintain 99.9% uptime with global servers and redundancy. If you encounter issues, the link may have expired, reached its click limit, or the destination may have changed. Check your management link for details.

10Do you have usage limits or restrictions?

No limits on the number of URLs you can shorten! However, we prohibit illegal content, adult material, malware, spam, and other harmful uses. See our Terms of Service for details.
