Shorten a thousand links in a single upload
Upload a CSV or paste your list — Lix.li processes it as one batch and reports the outcome for every row. Shared UTM tags, labels and group are applied to all links at once.
Why shorten links in bulk
Shortening by hand does not break on the first hundred links — it breaks on upkeep: tags applied inconsistently, links lost along the way, nothing to join the stats on.
One upload instead of a thousand actions
Paste a URL, press a button, copy the result — across a thousand links that is hours of mechanical work. A list is handled in a single upload.
The same tags across the whole batch
UTM tags, labels and group are set once and applied to every link. No more campaigns where half the traffic arrives without utm_source and the other half with a typo in it.
A report for every row
You can see which links were created and which were not, and why: alias taken, malformed URL, plan limit reached. One bad row does not cancel the whole upload.
The same analytics as any other link
Every created link is a normal one: clicks, geography, devices, sources. A group collects the stats for the whole campaign at once.
Custom aliases straight from the file
The second CSV column can hold a readable alias for each link — useful for print and offline ads, where people type the address by hand.
The same thing from your code
If the links are born inside your own system, a single API request gives the same result — no file export, no manual upload.
When you need it
Bulk shortening is not about “many links” — it is about tasks where there are too many links to keep track of by hand.
Product catalogue and price list
An export from your ERP or marketplace where every item has its own URL. Short links with a shared channel tag show which products actually get opened.
Email campaigns and CRM
A newsletter with dozens of personalised destinations. The links are prepared as a list in advance instead of being templated at send time.
Partner network
A dedicated link for every partner or point of sale. A shared group gives the programme-level picture, each link gives the individual one.
Print and offline
Catalogues, business cards, outdoor ads: a short address fits the layout, and the clicks show which medium worked.
What happens after the upload
The upload does not block the interface: the list goes into processing while you watch the progress.
Parsing the file
The CSV is parsed in your browser: rows land in a list where each one can be edited or removed before sending. A header row is detected automatically.
Checking the rows
Destinations are validated before shortening. Invalid rows are flagged right away with the reason, and the rest are processed as usual.
Processing in chunks
Links are created in chunks in the background. You can close the page: the upload keeps going and the result stays in your list of uploads.
The finished list
The upload card shows a short link next to every source URL, a filter for failed rows, and a way into the stats of any link.
How to shorten a list of links in 4 steps
Sign up for Lix.li and open the Bulk shortening section.
Upload a CSV with your destinations or paste the links one per line — each becomes a row you can still edit.
Set the shared parameters for the batch: group, tags and UTM tags. They will be applied to every link.
Press Shorten and watch the progress. When the upload finishes, the short links sit next to every row.
