Bulk URL Shortener: How to Create Bulk Short Links at Scale

Why bulk URL shortening matters

For marketers, e-commerce managers, and developers, creating short links one at a time is impractical when you have hundreds of product URLs, affiliate links, or campaign URLs to process. Bulk shortening solves this by letting you submit many URLs simultaneously.

The scale of this problem is real: industry estimates put the URL shortening market at over $1 billion in 2026, growing at 12–20% annually, driven largely by demand for marketing analytics and multi-channel campaign tracking. As teams run more campaigns across more channels, manually shortening links one at a time stops being a workflow — it becomes a bottleneck.

How to bulk shorten on Alshorty

Alshorty's bulk shortener accepts:

• A list of URLs pasted directly (one per line)
• A CSV file upload (URLs in any column)
• Comma-separated URLs in a text box

The system processes up to 100 URLs per batch and returns results with short URLs, codes, and status for each. Export results as a CSV.

Preparing your CSV file

Your CSV file should have one URL per row. Extra columns are ignored. Example:

https://example.com/product-1
https://example.com/product-2
https://example.com/product-3

Bulk shortening via API

Pro users with API access can automate bulk shortening programmatically. The Alshorty API accepts individual shorten requests that can be batched in your own scripts — ideal for e-commerce platforms that generate new product pages regularly.

Limitations and rate limits

Free accounts can shorten up to 5 URLs per day. Bulk shortening works best for Pro users (500 per day). Each URL in a bulk batch counts toward your daily limit.
