About us

Making the internet safer, one link at a time.

Our mission

Short Link Scanner was created with a simple but important mission: to help internet users stay safe from malicious redirects and deceptive short links. Shortened URLs are everywhere, in text messages, emails and social posts, and they can hide dangerous destinations.

What we do

  • Link scanning

    We follow short links on our own server and show you their final destination before you click.

  • Threat detection

    We flag disguised addresses, fake brand pages, risky domains and surprise downloads.

  • Detailed analysis

    Every redirect in the chain, with status codes, so you can see exactly how you'd get there.

  • Fast results

    Most scans finish in a few seconds, with no account or app needed.
