Spotify Link Shortener
Short links that open your track or playlist in the Spotify app. Free to start.
Free plan. No card needed.
Why Spotify links need this
A shared Spotify link opens the web player by default and carries a long ?si= suffix. A short link is clean and, on a phone, opens the track, album or playlist directly in the Spotify app where people can hit play and follow.

More about Spotify links
Share a podcast episode where people actually listen
A podcast episode link posted in a newsletter or an Instagram story usually opens the Spotify web player, where a listener has to log in again before they can press play. A directinapp short link opens that same episode in the Spotify app (with a web fallback), so a subscriber lands on the episode already signed in and one tap from playing or following the show.
Turn a shared track into a follow or a saved song
The moment someone taps your track matters. In the Spotify app they are already logged in, so they can save the song, add it to a playlist or follow you without a second step. On the web player those actions stall behind a sign in. A short link opens the track in the app (with a web fallback), keeping that first listen close to a real follow.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the short link open the Spotify app?+
On a phone with Spotify installed, the link opens the track, album or playlist in the app. Otherwise it opens the web player.
Does it strip the ?si= tracking?+
Yes. We remove Spotify’s throwaway ?si= parameter so the link is clean, while keeping the correct track or playlist.
Does it work for albums and playlists?+
Yes. It works for tracks, albums, playlists and artist links.
Can I track clicks?+
Yes. Every short link has real-time click analytics.
Is it free?+
Yes. Shortening Spotify links is free. Premium plans add longer analytics history and custom slugs.
Does it work for podcasts and single episodes?+
Yes. Alongside tracks, albums and playlists, a short link works for a show, a single episode or your artist profile. Whatever Spotify URL you paste is where the link goes, opening in the app on a phone with a web fallback.
Can I put my Spotify link on a gig poster?+
Yes. Every short link comes with a QR code, so you can print your track or playlist on a gig flyer, a merch table sign or a vinyl insert. A fan scans it and the music opens in the Spotify app, or the web player if the app is not installed.
