How to Make Shorter Links for YouTube?

You can shorten any YouTube link for free using Linko’s Free YouTube URL Shortener.

Just paste your long YouTube link into the box, click the button, and you’ll instantly get a short and clean URL you can use anywhere.

This tool is free and doesn’t require signup. It works for video links, shorts, playlists, and even YouTube channel URLs.


Why shorten YouTube links?

Long YouTube URLs can look messy, especially when you’re sharing them on social media, in SMS, or your bio.

For example:

This long YouTube URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Abd7A88NaL can become short URL like this https://onlylinks.cc/4Abd7

That’s much cleaner and more user-friendly. It also gives your links a professional look and makes them easier to click, copy, and share.
