Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to common questions.
Is Snipo free?
Yes. Creating short links and an account is free.
Do I need an account?
No, you can shorten a link as a guest. An account lets you manage, edit and delete your links, see stats in a dashboard and skip the preview page.
Why is there a captcha and a "securing form" step?
They keep bots, spammers and fake sign-ups out. The security step runs automatically in your browser in under a second.
I did not get the verification or reset email.
Check your spam folder and wait a minute. Reset links expire after 60 minutes and can be used once. You can request a new one from the Forgot password page.
Do short links expire?
No. Links stay active unless they are removed for breaking the rules.
How do I see my click count?
Open your dashboard, or add + to the end of any short link, for example https://snipo.in/abc123+
What is the preview page?
A page that shows the real destination before the visitor continues. Guest links always show it; account holders can switch it on or off per link. Add ~ to any short link to preview it.
What links are not allowed?
Malware, phishing, scams and any illegal content. Such links are removed and repeat offenders are blocked. Use the contact page to report a link.
