How are short links generated?

Uses a DJB2-based hash algorithm on the original URL and converts it to an 8-character alphanumeric code. Same URL always produces the same code.

Can I actually use the generated short link?

This is a local short code generator for demonstration. For publicly accessible short links, use services like Bitly or TinyURL.

Long URLs are inconvenient on social media, SMS, and print. Short links are cleaner, easier to remember, and save space.

Can I customize the short code?

Yes. Enter your desired short code in the custom field and the tool will use it instead of auto-generating one.
