Is there a free URL shortener without ads?

Yes. Liite's Free plan has 10 short links with no ads and no waiting page. Pro has 100 and Business has no set limit.

Can I earn money from my short links?

No. Liite doesn't put ads on links or pay for clicks. If earning from clicks is what you want, Liite isn't the right service.

Will people see Liite branding before my page?

No. A working link without a password redirects straight to your destination, with no Liite page on the way.

Does a direct redirect still count clicks?

Yes. Clicks are counted as they pass through, without cookies and without slowing anyone down with an extra page.

Short links

URL shortener without ads

Liite short links have no ads, no countdown and no page in between: a click goes straight to your destination, on every plan including Free. The only things that ever show first are ones you switch on yourself, such as a password.

Straight through

When someone opens a Liite short link, they get a direct redirect to your destination. There is no ad page, no timer and no "continue" button, and Free links work the same way as paid ones.

Liite doesn't pay you for clicks and doesn't sell space on your links.

The only pages that can show first

Each of these appears only if you turn it on, or if the link isn't working.

A password page, if you add a password (Pro and up).
A brief tracking page, if you add ad pixels such as Meta or Google Ads (Pro and up). With the consent option on, visitors are asked first.
Your destination framed under your short address with a small bar you can dismiss, if you turn on cloaking (Pro and up).
A plain message if the link isn't live yet, has expired or doesn't exist.

Why it matters

An ad page between your post and your page loses people, looks like spam and can show things you'd never put your name to. A direct redirect keeps your link looking like yours.

A real example

A sample short link for a newsletter's archive. Opening the real thing would redirect straight to the destination with nothing in between. The QR code is made the same way as in your dashboard; the address is an example.

A sample link. The QR code is real and made the same way as in your dashboard; the click numbers are not.
