Frequently Asked Questions. Common questions about our URL shorteners and redirect engine.
Why should I use platform-specific shorteners instead of a generic shortener?
Platform-specific shorteners are optimized for each destination. For example, our Amazon shortener strips bulky referral parameters while maintaining affiliate tags, our WhatsApp shortener pre-formats direct chat links with custom messages, and our social tools support mobile deep linking so links open directly in native apps rather than clunky in-app browsers.
Are all 22 platform shorteners completely free to use?
Yes. Every tool in the Recut shortener catalog is 100% free with no credit card required. You get instant redirects, zero advertisement walls, dynamic QR codes, and click tracking without paying anything.
Do these shorteners work with custom domains?
Yes! While the free online tools output standard short URLs using recut.in, you can connect your own custom domain (e.g., link.yourbrand.com) inside your free Recut account to brand all your links across all platforms.
Do shortened links ever expire?
By default, links generated through Recut do not expire unless you explicitly configure an expiration date or click limit inside your dashboard.
How do dynamic QR codes work with these shorteners?
Every link shortened with Recut automatically generates a vector SVG and high-resolution PNG QR code. If you later update the destination URL inside your account, the existing printed QR code will automatically redirect to the new destination.
