The problem lies in the difficulty of sharing and communicating long, cumbersome URLs in digital forms of communication such as social media posts or emails. Especially in these areas, character limitations can pose a restriction and make the insertion of long URLs difficult or even impossible. Therefore, there is a need for a tool that provides these URLs in a shorter, more compact form. At the same time, it is important that the shortened URL retains the same reliability and functionality as the original URL. Additionally, it would be desirable to have additional features such as a preview of the target page or link adjustments available to access the internet as safely and efficiently as possible.
I need a way to shorten long URLs to make them easier to share and communicate.

Yet, the shortened links created by TinyURL still retain the functionality and reliability of the original URL. In addition, TinyURL offers the option to customize the link and provide a preview of the target page. These additional features increase security and minimize the risk of phishing attacks. Overall, TinyURL improves the efficiency of web navigation and makes online communication smoother and easier.
