Veeresh Devireddy (ID: 000000752c81ecf0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/06/2022 No way to create short link without registration! Just for few links one doesn't need to create account. Also, your site (www.pxl.to/) is down, and I guess your shortlinks may also be down - http://pxl.to/pdRn305yvhW

Ranvir Mehta (ID: 000000fa23f1fbaa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/06/2022 I have tried a few of these serves in the past and they have not worked well. This link shortener is amazing. It is easy to use and it has some great features. I love that Https is included with the links that you create. The QR-code feature is also really nice. The most important thing is that everything works and it's easy to learn so that you don't have to waste time trying to figure it out. Highly recommended !!
