Snapchat Link Shortener
Attach short, clean links to your Snaps and Stories, and see how many people tap them. Shorten your Snapchat profile link too, so people on other apps can add you in one tap.
Why use short links on Snapchat
Count the taps from your Stories
Give each Story its own short link. URLyte shows clicks by day, country and device, and it recognizes clicks from the Snapchat in-app browser.
QR codes for your profile
Shorten your Snapchat add link and print the QR code on packaging, stickers or posters.
Readable links in chats
A short link like urlyte.com/yourbrand/sale is easy to send in a chat and easy to trust.
Reuse a link after the Story ends
Stories disappear, but a branded link stays. Point it to a new page for your next Story.

What Snapchat links look like
Snapchat has a few link types. Each one can be shortened.
https://www.snapchat.com/add/yourname?share_id=AbC1…&locale=en_US
- /add/yourname
- Your profile. Opening it lets people add you on Snapchat.
- ?share_id=…&locale=…
- Sharing data that Snapchat adds when you copy the link. You can remove it; the profile still opens.
- /spotlight/…
- A link to one Spotlight video (another link type).
Plain links vs URLyte short links on Snapchat
| Feature | Plain link | URLyte |
|---|---|---|
| Attach to Snaps and Stories | Yes | Yes |
| Short and readable | Often long | Yes |
| Clicks by country and device | No | Yes |
| Change where the link goes later | No | Yes (branded links) |

Snapchat's own insights show views of your Stories. A URLyte link shows what happened after the tap, and it counts clicks from every other app where you share it.
Tips for links on Snapchat
Stories last 24 hours
Most taps on a Story link happen on the first day. Post again with the same branded link to keep it working.
Snapchat checks links
Snapchat can block links it thinks are unsafe. Link only to your own pages or well-known sites.
Links open inside Snapchat
Links open in Snapchat's in-app browser. Make sure your page works well on a phone.
