About

Bit.ly is a leading URL shortening web service originating from the United States, offering users the ability to shorten, share, and track links across various platforms including Online, Android, iPhone, Chrome OS, and Android Tablet, as well as through browser extensions for Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. Founded as a website, bookmarklet, and robust open API, its comprehensive product portfolio includes features like custom URLs, URL forwarding, HTTPS support, and IFTTT integration, all operating under a freemium and proprietary license. While praised for its custom URL capabilities and statistical interface, positioning it as a strong competitor and alternative to services like Google URL Shortener and TinyURL, user feedback also notes limitations such as the inability to delete or edit links and occasional hourly rate limits.
