If you’re using a URL shortener, chances are you share your links a lot. The convenience of sharing is arguably the strongest motivation for shortening links.
Today we introduce an extended set of share buttons, available for everyone on once.to, which include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, and others.
Our smart link rule editor introduced a while ago, though powerful, may seem unwieldy and overwhelming at first because of all possible criteria displayed at once.
From now on, this will no longer be the case: we’ve refactored the rule editor component hiding away input fields until you actually get to need them.

We proudly announce our first browser integration: the so-called bookmarklets.
A bookmarklet is a specially prepared bookmark for your browser that, when clicked, submits the page you’re currently on to once.to for shortening or exploring.
A brand new tool has landed in once.to: the URL Explorer, a unique combination of power and simplicity that allows anyone to unveil what’s hidden behind the scenes of browsing!
Even better, the tool is free and available for all registered users!

once.to is back in the new season, with lots of under-the-hood improvements and new exciting plans!
One of the most wanted features is a new dimension in the link statistics called Domain/slug.
In this mode you get a pie chart that groups all your links by its slug (and domain, if any).

August is here, and we’re back with a couple of improvements to safeguard once.to’s users against scammers. This comes as a follow-up to our previous post, which highlighted the issue of malicious short links, mostly created by anonymous users.
The first thing to mention is the so-called link redirect unwrapping technique, which gets applied to all anonymously created links by default.

Signing up with a service is always a bit of a hassle: you need to type in your email, come up with a password, then spend awhile choosing a password that’s actually accepted. Some services would also require you to type your password twice (no idea what for).
Everyone has social network accounts (even when they claim they don’t), so why waste time registering?
As of today, you can now easily log into once.to using your Google, Facebook, or Twitter account!

A big day for the world’s fastest URL shortener: once.to carries no “beta” label as of today!
After three months in the public beta mode, no major shortcomings have been identified, so it’s time to celebrate.
On this occasion we offer a 25% discount for our customers — read on for the coupon code!
It’s been about nine months since the first brick has been laid into the foundation of once.to — and almost three since we entered the public beta.
Our policy has always been openness and transparency, which is why we’re presenting our timeline page today!
