Short links on social media and in messages

How short links keep posts tidy and what to keep in mind when sharing.

Fewer characters, more content

Long links with tracking parameters look messy and take up space. A short link keeps posts, profiles and messages tidy.

One link for your bio

Many profiles allow only a single link. With a short link you can change the target at any time, for example to your latest post, without touching the profile.

The preview stays

Messengers and social networks show a preview of the target page when you share a link. ci8.de short links redirect directly, so the preview looks just like with the long link.

Build trust

Many people are cautious with short links. Add a few words about where the link leads, such as "to the recipe" or "to sign up". That sparks interest and builds trust.

Easy to read and type

ci8.de short links contain no easily confused characters. That helps when a link is mentioned in a video, a podcast or on a slide.
