URL shortening is a technique on the World Wide Web that enables the Uniform Resource Locator to be made considerably shorter and still direct to the desired page. This is done by using a redirect path to a web page that has a long URL.
https://url-shortner-zehan12.vercel.app/
When the user enters the link, a short link will appear. Use clipboard emote to copy the link. The link will redirect you to the original link.
It has been deployed on Render.com . If you want then you can buy a domain and connect it with the render.com as well. This will shortner the link even more.
