Shorten Twitter/X Links

Free, no sign-up required. Your link will be ready in seconds.

Twitter (now X) links can be lengthy, especially post URLs that include the username, status ID, and tracking parameters. When you want to share a tweet in a newsletter, embed it in a presentation, or reference it in printed material, a y.hn short link makes it far more manageable. Paste any x.com or twitter.com URL and get a clean, compact link in seconds.

y.hn short links are particularly useful for social media managers who share Twitter content across multiple channels. Track exactly how many clicks each shared tweet receives, broken down by country, device, and traffic source. Compare engagement across platforms to see whether your audience finds tweets more compelling when shared via email, LinkedIn, or WhatsApp.

Custom slugs add another layer of utility. Create links like y.hn/announcement or y.hn/thread for important posts you reference frequently. Since y.hn lets you update the destination without changing the short URL, you can repoint these branded slugs to newer tweets as your content evolves. Every link includes QR code generation for offline use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with both twitter.com and x.com URLs?
Yes. y.hn accepts URLs from both twitter.com and x.com domains, including post links, profile pages, list URLs, and search result links.
Why shorten a Twitter link if Twitter already shortens with t.co?
Twitter's t.co links are for internal tracking and do not give you analytics. y.hn gives you your own click data, custom slugs, QR codes, and the ability to share the link outside of Twitter with full tracking.
Can I use shortened Twitter links in other social media posts?
Absolutely. y.hn links work everywhere: LinkedIn posts, Facebook updates, Instagram bios, email newsletters, Slack messages, and any other platform that supports URLs.
