Who uses HidURL
From solo creators to engineering teams - one tool for every link use case.
Affiliate & performance marketers
Hide affiliate network parameters, cloak commission tracking IDs, and share clean links that don't reveal your monetisation stack. Every click still passes through HidURL, so your analytics stay intact.
Social media managers
Turn long, UTM-stuffed campaign URLs into branded short links that fit in bios, captions, and stories. Track which platform drives the most clicks in real time - without leaving your dashboard.
Email marketers
Short links in emails load faster, look cleaner, and are easier to update. Change the destination after send if a landing page moves - the link in every already-sent email follows automatically.
Developers & product teams
Integrate URL shortening into your own product via the REST API. Create links in bulk, fetch click stats programmatically, and build redirect infrastructure without managing your own redirect service.
Content creators & influencers
Put a custom short link in your bio - hidurl.com/yourname - and update where it points whenever you publish something new. One link, every platform, always current.
Businesses with offline marketing
Every short link comes with a QR code. Print it on packaging, menus, flyers, or business cards. Update the destination anytime without reprinting - and track every scan the same way you track clicks.

Short URL tracking & analytics
