LinkedIn Link Shortener
Clean links that escape LinkedIn’s in-app browser and open the app. Free to start.
Free plan. No card needed.
Why LinkedIn links need this
LinkedIn’s in-app browser is limited, and a long LinkedIn URL breaks the preview when you paste it into a post. A short link keeps your post clean and, on a phone, pushes people into the native LinkedIn app where they are signed in and ready to connect or follow.
