Can I import my existing links from Bitly, TinyURL, or Rebrandly to Snipzr?
Updated
Yes. Snipzr lists import tools for Bitly, TinyURL, and Rebrandly, so you can bring existing short links over instead of rebuilding them by hand. The import path is aimed at people switching from another shortener, and it sits alongside the rest of Snipzr's link management features rather than being a separate paid add-on.
What the import covers
Snipzr's site names three import sources directly:
- Bitly — "Switching from Bitly? Bring your links over"
- TinyURL — listed under integrations
- Rebrandly — listed under integrations
The site does not publish a step-by-step import walkthrough in the material available here, so treat the exact flow (how you authenticate, whether you paste an export file or connect an account, and how redirects are preserved) as something to confirm inside the app after you sign up. What is stated is that the import tools exist for those three services.
Why the import matters beyond convenience
The reason to check the import before committing is what happens to your links afterward. Snipzr's pitch is built on three claims that directly affect a migration:
| Concern | What Snipzr states |
|---|---|
| Link lifetime | Links "keep redirecting forever" and "never expire" |
| Edits | "Edits are never metered" |
| Old links vs. quota | "Old links never count against your monthly allowance" |
| Free-tier caps | Links aren't capped, metered, or locked behind rising limits |
If those hold, an imported link keeps working even if you later downgrade or stop paying — which is the main risk people weigh when leaving Bitly, TinyURL, or Rebrandly. On many shorteners, free links get capped or metered and paid tiers count even simple edits, so a migration can quietly break links you thought were permanent. Snipzr positions itself against exactly that.
What you get on the other side of the import
Once links are in, every plan includes:
- Per-day analytics with bots filtered out, so automated traffic is counted separately
- QR scans separated from clicks
- No cookies and no visitor profiles — nothing that needs a consent banner
- Your own domain on any plan — point a domain, verify two records, and you get branded short links with automatic HTTPS
- Campaign tools — a UTM builder with a GA4 channel check, shared templates, campaign reports, and team naming rules
- Full API access on every paid plan
The team angle is worth noting if you're migrating for a client or agency: the Team plan includes unlimited free viewer seats, so clients and stakeholders can see live campaign reports without you buying them seats — only editors cost money.
How to decide
Import to Snipzr is worth doing if:
- You have a meaningful number of links on Bitly, TinyURL, or Rebrandly and don't want to recreate them
- Link permanence is your main worry — you want redirects to survive a downgrade or cancellation
- You edit links often and don't want edits counted against a quota
- You want campaign reporting and client viewer seats without an enterprise tier
Be more cautious if:
- You need a documented, self-serve import spec before signing up — the site doesn't publish one here, so verify the flow first
- Your links carry custom back-halves or domain setups that must map exactly; confirm how the import handles those
Practical next step
Sign up for a free account (the site says no card is needed), run the import for your source service, then spot-check a sample of imported links: confirm each still redirects to the right destination, that analytics start recording, and that any custom domain you set up resolves over HTTPS. If a link doesn't survive, that's the signal to fix it before you cancel the old service.
