Paste your long URL
Drop any web address in the homepage field and press Shorten it. If you leave the scheme off, we add https:// for you — plain http:// destinations still work, but the scan flags them as less safe.

Choose a plan
Free gives you a random 6-character slug. Pro ($6.99/month) lets you pick a custom slug of 4 or more characters — great for branding a business or product (e.g. its.gd/mybusiness or its.gd/productname). Pro+ ($19.99/month) unlocks rare 2–3 character slugs for super-short branding. Ultra ($299/month) reserves a single-character link like its.gd/1.

We check the destination
Before activation we run 60 safety checks on the destination URL — DNS resolution, redirect chain validation, and live threat-feed lookups included. Clean links activate instantly. If the scan flags the destination as malicious — malware, phishing or fraud — we refuse it and the short link is never created. Suspicious destinations can still be shortened, but every visitor sees the warning on the interstitial first.

Your destination is locked to one website
Once live, a link can never be pointed at a different website. That stops bait-and-switch scams. Free links are locked permanently. Paid plans allow at most two corrections per billing period — only on the same site, only after a fresh green scan, and every change is logged publicly on the link's safety page. Anything else needs a new link.

Share with confidence
Your link works instantly. Every visitor sees a transparent interstitial first — and we never redirect automatically: green links show a clean result, yellow and red links explain the risk, and the visitor always clicks to continue. Visitors can also append + to any link — for example its.gd/sale+ — to preview the destination and its current safety result.

Download your link report
Every plan — Free, Pro, Pro+, and Ultra — includes a branded PDF report with your short URL, destination, activation checks, and a green / yellow / red health summary. Pro, Pro+, and Ultra reports also include analytics and traffic breakdowns.
