How do I create a short link?
Paste your original address into the homepage box and click create to instantly get a 6-character-coded link such as tlnk.kr/Ab3dE9. If you want your brand to show, you can also choose a subdomain custom name like yourname.tlnk.kr.
The full process and how to combine it with UTM tags and stats are covered in what is a URL shortener and choose your own short link name.
What safety checks run when I create a link?
Before a link is created, tlnk.kr checks whether the destination domain has been registered for at least 1 month (30 days), whether it is actually reachable, whether it appears on Korea Communications Standards Commission block lists or malware/phishing lists such as URLhaus and OpenPhish, and whether it contains illegal-content keywords. Internal (private) network addresses are blocked outright.
These checks run again every day, and a link is blocked automatically once three different people report it. Only links created by a person in a browser pass; bots and automation tools cannot create them.
- Domain registered 6+ months and actually reachable
- Not on block lists, URLhaus or OpenPhish; illegal-content keywords checked
- Internal addresses blocked, rechecked daily, auto-blocked after 3 reports
How do I check my stats?
Non-members get a private stats address when the link is created (or one sent by [email it to me]); members can view clicks, human/bot split, country, device, browser and referrer by date on their account page.

Frequently asked questions
Is tlnk.kr really free?
Yes, you can create short links and view their stats for free with no sign-up. Creating an account lets you manage every link you make from one page.
Does an ad appear when someone opens the link?
A human visitor may see a Coupang Partners ad banner for about 2 seconds before the actual redirect. Search engine and preview bots are redirected immediately with no banner. See about tlnk.kr for details.
How long does a link stay active?
There is no set expiry date, so links are never deleted automatically. If the destination is unreachable three times in a row the link pauses automatically and resumes once it recovers.
Does tlnk.kr support UTM tags or QR codes?
UTM tags are not added automatically, so add them to the destination URL yourself before shortening (see how to add UTM parameters); there is no built-in QR code generator, so paste the short link into an external QR tool instead.
