Frequently asked questions
How do I move my existing links to TinyLink?
List your destination addresses in a CSV file using the template provided, and import it into the shortener: a report tells you, line by line, what went through.
Will my printed QR codes keep working?
Yes: they point to your bit.ly address and work as long as your Bitly account exists. Your new TinyLink QR codes stay editable after printing: the destination changes, the code stays good.
Is there a commitment period?
No. Plans are paid monthly and can be cancelled at any time from your account. Optional yearly billing gives you two months free.
