Links that fit inside any description box
Long affiliate URLs and tracking parameters make descriptions look cluttered and untrustworthy. A clean ziplink.app/your-merch link tells viewers exactly where they're going.
For Content Creators
Shorter links. More clicks. Built for YouTube.
YouTube descriptions have a 5,000 character limit — but that's not why you should use short links. You should use them because clean, memorable links get clicked more.
Why ZipLink works for for content creators
Click tracking per video and campaign
Create a unique short link for each video upload and see which content drives the most off-platform traffic. Use this to decide what to make next.
Custom aliases that match your brand
Instead of /xK9a2, use /merch, /discord, or /tour. Memorable aliases mean viewers can actually type them from memory — useful for spoken mentions in videos.
Expiry dates for time-limited promotions
Running a 48-hour sale or a limited collaboration? Set an expiry so the link stops working automatically — no more updating old video descriptions manually.
