How to Shorten a URL

To create a shortened (tiny) link, you have several good free options.
tinyurl.com/
hootsuite.com/...
I would have preferred to use a google product:
goo.gl/
However goo.gl was discontinued this year. All existing links will continue to work, but new links cannot be created. Google is doing this in order to support their new service for program developers called Firebase Dynamic Links:
firebase.googl...
In a Google Blogpost, they recommend people use BitLinks now:
bitly.com
It is a free service and very easy to use. You can log in with your Google Account. I highly recommend it.

Hi Jake! Thanks so much for this video - very helpful! I subscribed! We met years ago in SK - I just started a RUclips channel (something I've wanted to do for years) offering short English lessons... so it's great to know I can shorten the long URL. Hope all is well :)

[@JakeBroe]

I'm subscribed Jenny! Best wishes with your channel!

[@directoratreulandturnbough9194]

This is great, but wondering if there is a free option to custom title the link so you create texts and able to hyperlink the text for people to click & direct you to website content?

Maybe wherever you are trying to post, it doesn't allow shortcut URLS?

[@joaomarques982]

Someone was figured out how to create short links in HootSuite? Bit.ly was blocked by some internet providers in Portugal (for security reasons).
Thanks in advance

Thanks for letting me know!

[@jfresh2054]

I want to shorten the url but not have their company name within in? There's no way to use coding to create a url for free?

[@JakeBroe]

Hey Josh! Well, all these services are "free", but the company names needs to be in the URL since they are the ones holding the domain to be accessed. If you just want a random jumble of letters and a ".com" after it, I don't think that service exists.

Why these URLs not support Facebook

[@JakeBroe]

I think they might be concerned with fake links. Someone might use a link shortener to send people to a fake website to steal their information. I am not sure.
