Paste a long URL into chat and the bot replies with a short link and a QR code. Per-user link history, /stats and /delete commands, the same shortener as the web — without leaving the conversation.
Open the Shrtr bot in Telegram (@ShrtrTopBot) or Viber, then send
/start to begin. Prefer a browser?
Use the web form
or call the JSON API directly.
Paste a URL or send /shorten <url>. The bot replies with the short link and a QR code attached as an image — same shortener, same destination validation, same QR engine as the web form.
/mylinks lists your recent links with click counts. /stats <code> adds last-7-day and last-30-day breakdowns. /delete <code> removes a link you no longer want.
We store only your platform user id, the links you create, and aggregate click counts. No chat history, no contact-list access, no third-party trackers. A separate 20-links-per-minute budget keeps your usage isolated from the public web form.
On Telegram, open @ShrtrTopBot. On Viber, open the Shrtr Public Account (the deep-link hands off to the Viber app). Both bots share the same backend, so links created on one platform live in the same shortener as the web form.
/start or paste a URLSending /start (or /help) returns an onboarding message with the full command list. Pasting a bare URL is treated the same as /shorten <url> — the bot replies with the short link and a QR code right away.
Use /mylinks to see your recent links, /stats <code> for per-link clicks (total, last 7 days, last 30 days), and /delete <code> to remove one. You can only see and delete links you created — bots are scoped to your chat identity.
Yes. The bots run on the same shortener as the web form. No signup, no paywall, no ad. Each chat user gets their own list of short links and per-link click stats.
Six commands. /start and /help return an onboarding message. /shorten <url> creates a short link; a bare URL pasted into chat is treated the same way. /mylinks lists your recent links. /stats <code> returns per-link click count, last-click time, and last-7-day and last-30-day breakdowns. /delete <code> deletes one of your links.
No. The bots store only your platform user id, the links you have asked them to shorten, and aggregate click counts. No third-party trackers, no chat history, no contact list, no message scraping. Links you create are owned by your bot identity, so you can list and delete them yourself.
Yes. Every shorten reply attaches the QR code for the new short link as an image, so you can save and share it without leaving chat. The web result page additionally exposes an SVG download and a colour and size customiser.
Yes. Bot submissions use a separate budget of 20 short links per minute, keyed on your chat platform user id rather than your IP address. The web form and the JSON API have their own independent budgets, so the three lanes cannot drain each other.
