OBLIVION Short is a free, privacy-first URL shortener that creates compact links without tracking clicks, logging referrers, or setting cookies. Unlike mainstream link shorteners that build detailed profiles of everyone who clicks a link, OBLIVION Short treats your links as just links. Shorten any URL instantly — no account required, no data harvested.
Paste any long URL into the input field above and click Shorten. Our system generates a unique short code and creates a redirect link at oblivionsearch.com/s/[code]. When someone visits your short link, they are immediately redirected to the original URL. No interstitial pages, no click counters, no tracking pixels. The redirect happens server-side with zero data collection about the visitor.
Each short link is generated with a cryptographically random 6-character code using a base62 alphabet (letters and digits), providing billions of possible unique combinations. Your IP address is hashed for rate limiting purposes only — raw IP addresses are never stored in the database.
Most popular URL shorteners track every click on every link, building behavioral profiles that can be sold to advertisers or used for surveillance. When you share a link shortened by a tracking service, every recipient's click is logged with their IP address, browser fingerprint, geographic location, and referral source. OBLIVION Short was built to provide the convenience of short links without any of the privacy compromises.
This makes OBLIVION Short ideal for sharing links in emails, social media posts, documents, and messaging apps where you want recipients to reach the destination without being tracked along the way.
For power users and businesses, OBLIVION Short offers paid plans with custom aliases, QR code generation, and API access for programmatic link creation. Visit our pricing page for details on available plans and features.
