Short links with nothing hiding behind them
2to.uk turns long, messy URLs into clean short links. Free forever, no ads, no tracking, no data sold - just the redirect, in under a second.

Try it - no account needed
Paste any link and get a real, working short URL. Demo links delete themselves after 30 minutes; sign up free to keep yours.
https:// is assumed if you skip the scheme. Destinations are checked against a public malware and phishing blocklist before any link is created.
Built private, kept simple
Most link shorteners are analytics companies with a redirect attached. This one is just the redirect.
No tracking, no ads, ever
No analytics scripts, no fingerprinting, no ad networks - on this site or in the redirect path. The only cookie is the first-party one that keeps you logged in; it's never shared and never used to track you. There's nothing to consent to because nothing about you is collected.
Instant redirects
No interstitial pages, no "please wait", no ad hop. The link resolves and you are there.
Custom slugs
Pick your own memorable ending - 2to.uk/your-thing - or take a short random one.
A click count, nothing more
Each link keeps a running total of visits. Who visited, when, from where - never recorded.
Malicious links blocked
Every destination is checked against URLhaus's live feed of phishing and malware domains before a link can exist.
Two-factor login
Optional authenticator-app 2FA on every account, with one-time recovery codes.
How it works
Three steps, about twenty seconds.
Paste your link
Drop in any long URL - a product page, a shared file, a booking form, anything.
Pick a slug, or don't
Choose a memorable custom ending, or let us generate a short random one.
Share it anywhere
Your 2to.uk link works instantly and redirects in under a second, forever.
Questions people actually ask
Straight answers, no fine print.
Is it actually free, with no hidden tiers?
Yes. 2to.uk is entirely free. It is created by Lightmorphic, the small web company behind it, which is exactly why there is no charge and no reason to sell your data.
Do you sell or share my data?
No. There are no tracking cookies, no analytics trackers, and no ad networks on this site or in the redirect path. The only cookie we set is a first-party login session; we do not have data to sell even if we wanted to.
What happens if I delete my account?
Deletion is one click and permanent. Once confirmed, your account and links are gone and cannot be recovered. We say this plainly at the point of deletion, not in fine print.
How fast are the redirects, really?
Redirects resolve in well under a second under normal conditions. There is no ad interstitial or tracking hop in between.
Why is Lightmorphic giving this away for free?
Lightmorphic builds small, fast, private tools as a way of putting its name in front of people who care about that. 2to.uk is one of them, and free use is the whole pitch.
Can I use this for a business or a personal project?
Both. There is no distinction between plans because there are no plans. One free tier for everyone, with up to 50 short links per account.
Are all destination links allowed?
No. We keep a frequently updated list of domains blocked for phishing, malware, or abuse. If a link you try to create points at one of them, you will see why straight away.
Who's behind 2to.uk
2to.uk is built and maintained by Lightmorphic, a small UK web studio that makes fast, private, no-nonsense tools. It's a real, actively-maintained project - not a parked domain or a side project up for sale - and the same people run its sister tools too.
Questions, bugs, or anything at all: the privacy, terms and complaints pages linked in the footer each carry a contact address, and a person reads every message. You can also find us at lightmorphic.co.uk and notespice.org.
