Move your links and bio pages to ti-ny.link

Plan around the addresses people already use

Start by listing the links you have already shared. Creating a new short link in ti-ny.link does not change an old provider's URL, migrate its statistics or replace a QR code that points to it.

This guide describes a manual move you can check one resource at a time. It does not depend on an automatic import or a transfer agreement with another service.

to record current URLs, destinations, desired aliases, printed uses and the person responsible for each change. It is a planning file, not an account import file.

What can stay, and what needs rebuilding?

1. Inventory the live resources

For each public URL, record:

• The exact current address, including the domain and alias.
• Its final destination and any campaign parameters.
• Any targeting, password, expiration or other settings that change the journey.
• Where it is used: social profiles, emails, ads, websites, packaging, signs or QR codes.
• Whether you control the domain and whether the placement can be edited.
• Who is responsible for maintaining and testing it.

Open the URL from the devices your audience uses. For a printed QR code, scan the actual print as well as checking the stored artwork. Mark high-impact or hard-to-replace placements so they receive individual attention.

2. Build a small pilot in ti-ny.link

Choose an editable placement first, such as a link on your own website. Leave the old service active while you test.

1. Check your plan allowances for links, bio pages, QR codes, domains and team access.
2. Create a short link using the real destination. Choose an available alias; an alias available at another provider may already be taken on ti-ny.link.
3. Re-enter the required UTM values and any supported routing settings. Check the saved result rather than assuming the old settings match.
4. For a destination that will change, set HTTP Status → 302 Temporary redirect before sharing. See the redirect-status guidance.
5. Open the new public URL and check the final destination, parameters and mobile experience.

If the pilot uses a bio page, rebuild the page and add the relevant content blocks. Confirm permissions to reuse images and other assets. External shops, booking systems and mailing services keep handling their own transactions; reconnect the appropriate public destinations or supported embeds.

Allow for the resources you will keep

ti-ny.link's resource allowances count active items. Deleting an item frees its allowance, and destination edits are unlimited. You do not need another short link simply to update the destination of an existing one. Keep resources that still serve shared URLs or printed codes.

When moving to a smaller ti-ny.link plan, resources above its limits can be deactivated at random. Cancellation moves the account to Free limits and follows the same rule for excess items. Resources within the new plan's supported features and limits keep working.

Custom-domain links stop working when you move to a plan with no custom domains, even if your link count is within its allowance. Check domain eligibility as well as resource counts before changing plans. The Free plan also does not allow removal of ti-ny.link branding or the addition of your own branding. Review the plan-change guidance against every address and feature you need to keep.

Deleting the ti-ny.link account stops its links and pages from working. Account deletion is a separate action from cancelling a paid subscription.

3. Decide what happens to old links and QR codes

Addresses on the old provider's domain

You cannot make ti-ny.link take over those addresses. Update editable placements to the new URL. For a printed code or an uneditable placement, check the old provider's current rules and whether you can keep its redirect active.

If its settings allow a destination change, an old short link may be able to redirect to the new URL while you replace placements. Test that complete route and keep the old service operational for as long as you depend on it. An extra redirect is still dependent on the original service and is not a transfer of ownership.

Addresses on a domain you control

Use the custom-domain setup guide. Save the existing DNS records and a list of every active path before making changes. Confirm that ti-ny.link can serve the required domain and aliases and that the connection instructions are available.

Changing DNS for a shared link domain affects all URLs using that hostname. Plan the change with the person who manages your DNS. Have the destination mapping and a recovery plan ready, then test HTTPS, required aliases, QR codes and any missing-link behaviour after the change. DNS and browser caches can delay the result seen by individual visitors.

Do not assume that reconnecting a domain also imports its path mappings or historical reports.

New printed materials

For new artwork, create a dynamic QR code connected to an existing ti-ny.link short link. Keep that short-link alias stable and update its destination when needed.

Scan the exported code and the final printed proof before ordering the full run. A code that directly encodes an old provider's address cannot have its encoded content changed after printing.

4. Replace editable placements in batches

Start with a small group of placements and verify them before continuing:

1. Replace the URL in the profile, page, message template or campaign you control.
2. Open that placement as a visitor and follow the new link.
3. Confirm the final content, campaign parameters and any app-opening fallback you configured.
4. Record the new public URL and the test result in the worksheet.
5. Check the relevant ti-ny.link statistics after your test. Remember that your own checks can create activity.

For campaigns, keep the same naming approach across placements. Download the ready-to-adapt plans for creators, agencies, businesses or events.

5. Review before closing the old account

Use the worksheet to identify anything still depending on the old provider, especially printed codes and links in messages you cannot edit.

• Save any reports or account information you still need.
• Confirm the old provider's cancellation and link-retention rules.
• Check that replacement pages and links are live and maintained by the right person.
• Verify any redirects or domain routes you intend to keep.
• Keep reporting periods labelled by provider so visits from separate systems are not presented as one equivalent metric.

If any required old URL still depends on the account, resolve that route before cancelling. There is no universal safe waiting period: it depends on where the address was shared and how long people will continue to use it.
