# URL shortener (eyz.lol)

> Turn long links into short eyz.lol codes. Free accounts get 10 creates per day; Premium gets 100. Optional sign-in to keep a list.

<Note>
  Tool: <a href="https://biolovers.site/urlshortener" target="_blank" rel="noopener">biolovers.site/urlshortener</a> — short links resolve on <a href="https://eyz.lol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eyz.lol</a>
</Note>

Biolovers includes a free URL shortener. Paste a long link, get a short `eyz.lol/….` code, and copy it for bios, Discord, or anywhere a long URL is awkward.

## Create a short link

1. Open <a href="https://biolovers.site/urlshortener" target="_blank" rel="noopener">biolovers.site/urlshortener</a>.
2. Paste the destination URL (http or https).
3. Optionally add a short description (handy when you're signed in and browsing your list later).
4. Submit. The page shows the new short link and copies it for you when the browser allows.

New short codes are **4 characters** (letters + digits). Visiting `https://eyz.lol/<code>` redirects to your destination.

## Daily limits

| Who                    | New links per UTC day |
| ---------------------- | --------------------- |
| **Not signed in**      | **3** per IP          |
| **Signed in, Free**    | **10**                |
| **Signed in, Premium** | **100**               |

Signed-in accounts can also keep a list of their short links on the same page (up to **500** total per account). Listing still works after you hit the daily create cap — you just can't mint more until the next UTC day.

## Tips

* Sign in before creating links you want to manage later — anonymous creates aren't tied to an account list.
* Destinations must be plain `http://` or `https://` URLs. Credentials in the URL and non-http schemes are rejected.
* Reserved codes like `api`, `www`, and `robots` can't be used as slugs.

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do short links expire?">
    No fixed expiry for normal account links. Keep the destination online and the short code keeps working.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I pick my own slug?">
    The tool generates a random 4-character code. Custom vanity slugs aren't offered on this page.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is this the same as a profile alias?">
    No. An [alias slug](/profile/domain-and-url) is a second path on your profile domain. Short links on `eyz.lol` can point at any https URL — profile, store, Discord invite, etc.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I hit the daily limit">
    Wait until the next UTC midnight, or upgrade to [Premium](/premium/what-premium-unlocks) for the higher create cap.
