What SlightURL is

SlightURL is a free platform combining URL shortening, file sharing, text sharing, link analytics, QR codes, and a REST API. Links can be shortened without an account, with UTM parameters, custom aliases, and click analytics. After registration, the dashboard shows clicks by country, device, browser, and referrer. File sharing supports files up to 200MB, with storage lasting 24 hours for registered users and 12 hours for anonymous users. SharePad creates collaborative text pages with optional password protection; pages without passwords are available to anyone with the link. Spaces last one week for guests or one month for registered users, while contained files expire after 12 or 24 hours. The REST API uses JSON and Bearer token authentication for creating short links and retrieving analytics. SlightURL describes encrypted ShareSpace storage, HTTPS links, and API-based integrations with apps, scripts, or workflows. Support tickets can be submitted without an account.

Verdict

SlightURL combines link management, temporary sharing, analytics, and developer access without a listed charge. Storage and Space durations are limited, so it fits short-lived sharing better than permanent file hosting.
