How it works
- 01
Paste your URL
Drop in any http or https link you want to share—landing page, checkout, form, whatever.
- 02
Shorten or Cloak
Shorten sends visitors straight to the destination. Cloak keeps your short link visible in the address bar.
- 03
Copy and share
Your short link is ready. Paste it into ads, email, DMs, or anywhere you need a cleaner URL.
Short links without the extra steps
Linktrap does two things well: shorten long URLs into something shareable, and optionally cloak the destination so visitors still see your short link in the browser bar. Paste a URL, choose Shorten or Cloak, and copy—done.
Simple and transparent
- Every short link is served over HTTPS with fast redirects.
- You choose Shorten or Cloak on every link—nothing is enabled unless you pick it.
- Read our Terms, Privacy Policy, and Acceptable Use before running paid traffic.

Get startedFAQ
- What is the difference between Shorten and Cloak?
- Shorten redirects visitors to your destination URL. Cloak loads the destination inside your short link so the address bar still shows the short URL.

- No. You can shorten or cloak a link from the homepage without signing in. Create an account to save links and manage them in the dashboard.
- Can I use custom domains?
- Yes, on Pro. Connect your domain in the dashboard after upgrading.
- Is Linktrap free?
- Yes. Shortening and cloaking are free, with a daily limit on the Free plan. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited links, API access, and custom domains.
