World's Shortest Branded Links in Nine Characters
Publish Date: Oct 12, 2025
ShortUrl.bot, the world's shortest branded link provider, now ships links as compact as 2s.gg/b3t—just nine characters when you share it without the protocol. That extra breathing room keeps SMS, QR captions, and social bios clean while staying on brand.
We verified each competitor link length on Oct 12, 2025 using working public examples: https://t.ly/h7Z57, https://bit.ly/3QaX6FY, https://tinyurl.com/2p8edrs5, and https://rebrand.ly/devrel. The table shows both the display-ready version (without the protocol) and the full HTTPS link for each provider.
Why ultra-short still matters
- Higher deliverability: Nine-character links avoid SMS and push truncation, so your full call to action lands everywhere.
- Better engagement: Compact links look credible in bios, display ads, and QR codes, raising click confidence.
- Clear attribution: A single brandable domain keeps analytics tidy across campaigns.
2s.gg vs. the rest, character by character
| Provider | Display link (no protocol) | Characters | HTTPS link | Characters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ShortUrl.bot | 2s.gg/b3t | 9 | https://2s.gg/b3t | 17 |
| t.ly | t.ly/h7Z57 | 10 | https://t.ly/h7Z57 | 18 |
| Bitly | bit.ly/3QaX6FY | 14 | https://bit.ly/3QaX6FY | 22 |
| TinyURL | tinyurl.com/2p8edrs5 | 20 | https://tinyurl.com/2p8edrs5 | 28 |
| Rebrandly | rebrand.ly/devrel | 17 | https://rebrand.ly/devrel | 25 |
Even with HTTPS included, 17 characters stay shorter than t.ly's 18-character link and remain far shorter than Bitly's 22 or TinyURL's 28. The savings compound once you drop the protocol for SMS, NFC tags, or QR captions.
