Create and manage a short link

Turn a long web address into a short axo.nz link, then edit, pause or archive it.

2 min · 6 steps

  1. 1

    Go to your Dashboard

    Sign in and open Dashboard.

  2. 2

    Paste the long address

    Paste the web address into the destination box (it must start with https:// or http://).

  3. 3

    Add a label and custom name (optional)

    A label helps you find the link later. A custom name gives you an address like axo.nz/s/spring-sale; leave it empty and we create one for you.

  4. 4

    Click Shorten

    Your new link appears under Your links. Click Copy to copy it.

  5. 5

    Manage it any time

    Use Edit to change where it goes, Pause to stop it temporarily and Resume to turn it back on. Archive removes it from Your links and frees a slot on your plan.

  6. 6

    Restore or delete from the archive

    Open Archive under Your links. Click Restore to bring a link back with the same short name (it counts toward your plan again), or Delete forever to remove it for good.

Good to know

  • Free links go straight through for the first 7 days or 100 clicks. After that, visitors see a 5-second AXO page first. Paid plans always go straight through.
  • Links you can hold at once: Free 3, Pro 10, Business 500, Enterprise unlimited. Paused links count; archived links don't.
  • Archiving a link stops it working and deletes its click records. Its total click count and short name are kept in the archive, so nobody else can take the name.

Questions

Can I change where a short link goes after sharing it?

Yes. Click Edit next to the link and enter the new address. Anyone who opens the link — including from a printed QR code — goes to the new address.

What happens when a link is paused?

It stops redirecting until you click Resume. A paused link still counts toward your plan; archive it to free the slot.
