X already shortens your links (t.co)
Here's the part most articles skip: when you post a link on Twitter/X, X automatically wraps it in its own shortener, t.co. Every link counts as 23 characters no matter how long the original is, and you can't turn it off.
So on X itself, a separate shortener won't save you characters. What it does do is give you everything t.co doesn't.
When a link shortener still helps on X
t.co (X's own)
Automatic on every posted link, counts as 23 characters. X's brand, no click data for you, no QR code, no editing, and it only applies inside X.
Link shortener (Pageloot)
A clean, branded link you control. Tracks clicks, adds a QR code, lets you add a custom keyword, works everywhere (bio, off-platform, print), and (on paid) is editable.
It's especially worth it for your bio link, for sharing a tweet or profile off X, and anywhere you want to measure clicks or print a QR code.
How to shorten a Twitter/X link
Three steps:
- Copy the X link — a tweet, profile, or any URL (use the Share icon on a post → Copy link, or grab it from the address bar).
- Paste and shorten — drop it into the URL shortener and click Shorten. You get a short
pageloot.com/s/link instantly, with a matching QR code. - Use it — put it in your bio, post it (it shows as your branded link), or share it anywhere, then watch the clicks.
Want it branded? Add your own keyword to the link for free (for example pageloot.com/s/my-thread).
Why shorten X links
A branded display link
A pre-shortened link shows your own short URL in the tweet instead of a bare domain or X's t.co.
Click data you can actually see
X keeps t.co stats to itself. Your own short link shows clicks, basic free, detailed (location, device, time) on paid.
A QR code too
Every short link comes with a QR code, so you can point print, slides, or packaging at a tweet, thread, or your profile.
On a paid Pageloot plan, links are also editable, so a link in your bio or on a printed QR can point somewhere new without you touching the original.
Where to use short X links
- Your bio — a clean, branded, trackable link in your profile's website field or bio text.
- Tweets and threads — show a branded link instead of a bare URL, and measure the click-through.
- Off-platform — share a tweet, thread, or your X profile on Instagram, LinkedIn, or email with one short link.
- Print, slides & packaging — drop the link's QR code on a deck, flyer, or product. → generátor QR kódov
X links + QR codes
Every short link comes with its own QR code. Print it on a slide, flyer, or product and anyone who scans it lands on your tweet, thread, or X profile. On a paid plan you can change that destination later without reprinting, so the same QR can point to your latest post whenever you want.
