Anyone who has ever sent an email or written a blog post with a long URL included knows that these URLs can sometimes break and that they take up a lot of valuable space for nothing. Url.ie offers to truncate URLs for you in seconds. Just go to url.ie, and either paste or type the URL that you’d like to shorten, then press truncate and presto! Url.ie generates a shortened URL that you can use instead. While some other URL shortening services will hit you with tracking cookies and popups, Url.ie promises to never do so and they will limit advertising as much as possible. No registration is required making this one of the faster truncating services available.

“Welcome to URL.ie, a free URL truncation service. Generate a short URL for your unsightly long one, and share that URL with others, who get automatically forwarded to your original URL, with no temporary redirect pages / ads / popups / cookies. Just follow the 2 simple steps below.”
