Here is a summary of what changed across Short.io in the second half of December 2024.

Features​

To match requirements of several platforms and authorities, you can now assign a specific static prefix to a folder, which all links will contain in path.

Example:

mydomain.tld/XmasCampaign/SomeShortLink.

Our recent guide will follow on how to set a default prefix for a folder.

After that, all new links created within selected folder will have prefix included automatically.

This allows you to use custom short links with Google Ads.

More details on how to generate verified link tracker can be found in our guide.

Now you can generate links that don't reveal destination URL, unless the hash is specified in a path.

Try it: enable secure link creation (by clicking on the highlighted icon) and shorten any URL.

Copy link with the hash included — the listed link on Branded links page will not display the hash, and without this hash, the short link won't redirect. Learn more

From now on, once set up, a non-existent short link redirect appears on the Branded links page, providing the same functionality as a regular link. Learn more

In this revision, long scrolling is no longer an issue, and pagination controls are easily reachable. Learn more
