A link like lynkily.com/aB3xY works, but lynkily.com/summer-sale is memorable, trustworthy, and clickable. Custom (or "vanity") short links make your URLs part of your brand — and you can create them free.
Why use custom short links?
- Memorability. People can read, remember, and even type them.
- Trust. A descriptive slug looks less like spam than a random code.
- Higher click-through. Clear links get clicked more, especially in print and bios.
- Campaign clarity. Name links by campaign so your analytics read cleanly.
How to create a custom short link
- Open the link creator and paste your destination URL.
- Set a custom slug (for example
/launchor/menu). - Save, then share the branded link and its auto-generated QR code.
Custom slug best practices
- Keep it short and lowercase; use hyphens, not spaces.
- Make it descriptive — match the campaign or destination.
- Stay consistent so your links look like a family.
Every custom link is fully tracked: clicks, devices, locations, and referrers. New to shortening? Start with how to shorten a URL.
