Shorten URLs and see what happens after you share them

Nexy is a free URL shortener that turns long, messy links into short nexy.be links. Every link comes with click analytics and an optional QR code, and you can change where it goes without changing the link.

How to shorten a URL

  1. Create a free Nexy account and verify your email.
  2. Add a new link, paste the long URL and give it a title so you can find it later.
  3. Copy your short nexy.be link and share it anywhere.

Why shorten a link?

Long URLs are hard to read aloud, awkward in a text message and impossible to type from a poster. They often carry tracking parameters that make them look untrustworthy too. A short link fixes all of that, and because every visit passes through Nexy, you also learn how many people opened it.

What you get with every short link

  • Editable destination: fix a typo or point an old link at a new page, and everything you already shared keeps working.
  • Click analytics: total clicks, unique visitors and a daily chart for any date range.
  • Audience breakdowns: country, city, device, browser, operating system and referrer.
  • Bot filtering: link previews and search crawlers are reported separately from clicks.
  • An optional QR code you can download as a PNG for print.

Keep your UTM parameters

Nexy redirects to the exact URL you give it, so any UTM parameters in the destination still reach your site. You can keep campaign tracking in tools like Google Analytics while sharing a much shorter link.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nexy free?

Yes, Nexy is free to use right now. You just need an account. We plan to offer free and paid plans in future, and we will tell you the price and terms before you are charged anything.

Do I need an account to shorten a URL?

Yes. An account is what lets you edit your links, download their QR codes and see their analytics later.

Can I choose my own short link text?

Not at the moment. Nexy generates a unique code for each link, such as nexy.be/Sp7xQ2. The title you give a link is only shown to you in your dashboard.

Can I change a short link after sharing it?

You can change where it goes at any time. The short code itself stays the same, so links you already shared keep working and send people to the new destination.

Which URLs can I shorten?

Any http or https URL. Links used for phishing, malware, spam or other harmful content break our Terms of Service and can be disabled.
