Skip.Li is a peer-to-peer URL shortener.
Each shortened link is hosted directly from your browser using a WebRTC connection. This means no server stores or processes your links. When someone opens your short link, their browser connects directly to yours to retrieve the destination URL.
Paste or write a URL above. A short ID is generated and shared via a Skip.Li link. Keep this page open to keep hosting it. Anyone opening your link becomes part of the peer network and may help keep the link alive longer.
Skip.Li is a peer-to-peer URL shortener. When you create or open a link, your browser temporarily participates in a distributed network and helps share link information with other visitors. No data is stored on our servers.
No. Links are never stored by Skip.Li. All information is exchanged in real time between users’ browsers through the P2P system.
Skip.Li is decentralized. A link exists only while peers still have it cached. If no one on the network currently holds the link data, it cannot be retrieved.
Skip.Li includes integrity checks (URL hashing) and peer-to-peer validation. However, as a decentralized system, security also depends on the peers currently online. Always use the official skip.li domain.
No personal data is collected or stored by Skip.Li. Only minimal link information (alias, URL, hash) is exchanged between peers to allow the network to function.
