Updated Sep 23, 2026
You do not need an account to make a short link. Paste a URL into the box on the LNK7 homepage and you get a real short link, with its QR code and full analytics, in a guest workspace of your own.
Shortening Without Signing Up
- 1 Go to the LNK7 homepage
- 2 Paste your long URL into the box and click "Shorten"
- 3 Complete the quick security check if one appears
- 4 You land on your new link's page, ready to copy it or download its QR code
Your Guest Workspace
- Links you make this way live in a guest workspace, with the same analytics as any other link
- There is no password on a guest workspace - your browser stays signed in to it
- Each link's page shows a sign-in link: save it, because it is how you get back in from another browser or after clearing cookies
- The sign-in link works for 30 days, and every time you use it that date moves forward again
- Settings and API tokens need a full account
Keeping Your Links for Good
- 1 Open your guest workspace
- 2 Click "Create your free account"
- 3 Enter your details, or continue with Google
- 4 Your links and their analytics move into the new account
Save Your Sign-In Link
Without a password, the sign-in link is the only way back into a guest workspace once your browser forgets you. Guest workspaces that are no longer used are eventually removed, so create a free account for links you want to keep.
