📚 What is a URL Shortener?
A URL shortener transforms long, complex web addresses into short, easy-to-share links. Instead of sharing:
https://example.com/blog/2025/january/my-very-long-article-title-here?utm_source=social&utm_medium=twitter
You can share:
https://07d.me/abc123
When someone clicks your short link, they're instantly redirected to the original URL.
🔗 How to Create a Short Link
Step 1: Enter Your URL
Paste the long URL you want to shorten into the "URL to shorten" field.
Important: Only https:// URLs are accepted for security reasons.
Step 2: Custom Code (Optional)
Leave this blank to get a random short code, or enter your own custom code to create a memorable link.
Custom Code Rules:
- 4 to 12 characters long
- Can use: letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), underscore (_), and dash (-)
- Examples:
summer-sale,blog2025,my_link - If the code is already taken, you'll be asked to choose a different one
Step 3: Complete the CAPTCHA
Click the CAPTCHA checkbox to verify you're human. This helps prevent spam and abuse.
Step 4: Create Your Link
Click the "Shorten" button. Your short link will be created instantly!
Step 5: Save Your Delete Token
⚠️ Important: After creating your link, you'll receive a delete token.
This token is shown ONLY ONCE! Copy and save it somewhere safe if you think you might want to delete this link later. Without the delete token, you cannot remove the shortened URL.
🚀 How to Use Your Short Link
Simply share your short link anywhere:
- Social media posts (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn)
- Email campaigns and newsletters
- Text messages (SMS)
- Printed materials (business cards, flyers, posters)
- QR codes
- Video descriptions
When someone clicks your 07d.me/yourcode link,
they'll be instantly redirected to your original URL.
🗑️ How to Delete a Shortened Link
If you want to remove a shortened URL (making it no longer accessible), follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to the Homepage
Visit 07d.me and click the "Delete a link" button at the bottom of the form.
Step 2: Enter Your Code
Type the short code (the part after 07d.me/) that you want to delete.
For example, if your link is 07d.me/summer-sale, enter summer-sale
Step 3: Enter Your Delete Token
Paste the delete token you saved when you created the link.
Security Note: The delete token acts as a password for your link. Only someone with the token can delete it. This prevents others from removing your links.
Step 4: Confirm Deletion
Click the "Delete" button. Once deleted, the short link will no longer work and cannot be recovered.
💡 Best Practices & Tips
✓ Use Custom Codes for Important Links
Custom codes like 07d.me/contact are more memorable than random codes.
✓ Save Your Delete Tokens
Store delete tokens in a password manager or secure note-taking app for future reference.
✓ Keep Codes Short and Simple
Shorter custom codes are easier to type and remember. Aim for 4-8 characters when possible.
✓ Test Your Links
Always click your shortened link to verify it redirects to the correct destination before sharing widely.
✓ Only Share Links You Trust
Never shorten URLs from untrusted sources. Always verify the original URL is safe before shortening it.
