Shorten more links at once by using Ctiny's bulk import feature. To do this, you'll prepare a CSV file and upload it into Ctiny. Your file will be processed and you'll get an email once the links are shortened. This feature is available for users in Starter and Professional plan.

Please note that the file size cannot exceed 1 MiB.


To shorten links in bulk:

  1. Download the CSV file template
    There are 3 columns:
        - Original Link: The column where you will add the links you want to shorten
        - Slug (optional): The column where you will add the slug you want to give to the attached link. You can leave this empty to generate a random slug.
        - Domain: Your custom domain. If you do not have a custom domain, set this to 'ctiny.me'


  2. Fill the CSV template
    Your CSV file should look as below,
    Original URL,Slug (optional),Domain
    https://devopsideas.com,devops, ctiny.me
    https://s3buckets.com,s3, ctiny.me
    https://disqus.com,,disq.us

    Or it should looks as below in Google sheets, MS Excel, Numbers etc.
     
    Important:
    - If the combination of the domain and the slug already exist, your links will not be imported.
    - Make sure the separator is a comma (,) and not a semi colon.
    - Your destination links must include the protocol, e.g. "http://", "https://" etc.
    - Do not interchange the columns given in the template
