Linktrap
The link layer for serious distribution
Shape what platforms read in the preview tile—Open Graph title, description, and image—while clicks land on the URL you actually want to convert.
Short links built for search and social previews
Linktrap is a link shortener designed for teams that care what crawlers index and what chat apps unfurl. You set the preview story—title, description, and optional image—so link preview bots from major platforms read consistent Open Graph-style data, while humans still reach your landing page, store, or signup flow through a normal HTTP redirect.
How it works
- 01
Set the real destination
Paste the page people should open in the browser after they trust the preview.
- 02
Craft the crawler-facing story
Define bot title, description, and optional image—the share card narrative stays separate from the final URL.
- 03
Share the short link
Drop it into ads, DMs, or social posts. Preview scrapers read your scripted metadata; humans 302 to the destination.

Upgrade in dashboardFAQ
- What do bots see versus humans?
- Known link-preview crawlers receive HTML with Open Graph tags you configure. Regular browsers receive a redirect to your destination URL.
- Is the real URL hidden from everyone?
- Humans always reach your destination after the redirect. You should still follow each ad platform’s policies and disclose honestly where required.
- Do you guarantee ad review outcomes?
- No. We optimize the technical preview experience, but every network applies its own policies and detection.
- Can I use this for free?
- Yes. Create an account, stay within the free quota, and upgrade when you need Pro features.
