DBGIDLink Exchanger
Short links with a safety preview

Long links in.
Clean links out.

DBG ID Link Exchanger turns any URL into a short, memorable link — random or custom. Visitors always see a live preview of the destination before they are redirected.

  • No signup, no limits on link length
  • Metadata, favicon and body excerpt preview
  • Works great on mobile and desktop
Paste the original link — we add https:// automatically if it is missing.
Default: dbg.id/a7Kq2mp
dbg.id/0/32
Letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores · 3–32 characters.
Workflow

Three steps, zero friction

Built for people who share links all day and still care where they lead.

01

Paste the original link

We normalise it, validate the protocol and reject private hosts.

02

Optionally pick an alias

Leave it empty for a random ID, or type your own branded slug.

03

Share the short link

Visitors land on the preview gateway first, then continue to the destination.

Features

Everything a shortener should be

Fast, transparent and honest about where a link goes.

Random or custom

Let the system mint a collision-free 7-character alias, or claim the exact slug your campaign needs.

Preview gateway

Every visit stops at a live preview: title, meta description, hero image and a body excerpt from the real destination.

Serverless by design

Runs on Vercel functions with Upstash Redis. No cold database, no cron, no maintenance window.

Light & dark

A professional indigo palette that adapts to the system theme and remembers your choice.
