EnglishWhat is Kutt and what can you do with it?
Updated
Kutt is a free, open-source URL shortener. You can use it to turn long links into short ones, attach your own custom domain, and view statistics on how those links perform. The site also lists a Premium option, but no pricing details are provided on the page, so treat paid features as something to check separately rather than assume.
Core things you can do with Kutt
The homepage presents Kutt around three practical capabilities:
- Shorten links — the main action, turning a long URL into a compact one.
- Set custom domains — instead of being limited to the default
kutt.todomain, you can use your own domain for the short links. - View stats — track how your shortened links are being used.
What the link-creation form shows
The form on the homepage exposes several options beyond the basic URL field, which tells you what you can control when creating a link:
| Option | What it appears to do |
|---|---|
| Domain | Choose the domain for the short link; the default shown is kutt.to |
| Password | Protect the short link with a password |
| Expire in | Set an expiry so the link stops working after a period |
| Description | Add a note describing the link |
These are labeled "advanced options," so the basic flow is simply pasting a URL and shortening it; the rest are optional refinements.
Who it suits
Kutt fits situations where you want short links without committing to a closed commercial service — for example, shortening links for a project, a personal site, or a team that wants its own domain on the links. Because it is open source, it is also a reasonable starting point if you care about being able to inspect or self-host the tool, though the page itself does not document hosting steps.
If you need guaranteed uptime, detailed analytics, or paid support, check the Premium page and the project's own documentation before relying on it — the homepage alone does not answer those questions.
