Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about shortening Google Docs links.

Does shortening the link change the document's permissions?

No. The short link simply redirects to your original Google Doc. The access permissions (e.g., "Anyone with the link can view") are still controlled within Google Drive.

Can I shorten links to Google Sheets and Slides too?

Yes! URLDN works perfectly with URLs from Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Forms, and Google Drive folders.

Is it free to shorten Google Docs links?

Yes, URLDN provides free link shortening for all your Google Workspace documents.

How do I create a QR code for my Google Form?

Simply paste your Google Form link into URLDN. A short link and a downloadable QR code will be generated instantly, perfect for printing on flyers or displaying on screens.

Will the short link expire?

By default, your short links will never expire. However, you can choose to set an expiration date if you only want the document accessible for a limited time.

Can I track who opened my Google Doc?

URLDN can track how many times the link was clicked, along with general geographic and device data. It cannot track the specific Google accounts of the people who opened it.
