Migrate from Bitly in 5 minutes
Switching shorteners sounds scary because your links are already out in the world. Good news: you don’t have to break them. Here’s the five-minute version.
1. Export your Bitly links
In Bitly, export your links to CSV. You’ll get a file with each short link and its destination URL.
2. Create your Einblik account
Sign up free and, if you want branded links, connect your custom domain (one TXT record to verify, then a CNAME). Our DNS checker confirms it’s live.
3. Import the CSV
Upload your Bitly export. Einblik re-creates each link under your account, preserving the destination. Pick whether to keep the original short codes or generate fresh ones on your domain.
4. Update where it matters
Your old Bitly links keep redirecting, so there’s no rush. Going forward, share the new branded links — on your site, in bios, in new campaigns.
5. Enjoy clean links + private analytics
New links get automatic query-string cleanup, and your analytics are cookieless and EU/Swiss-hosted.
That’s it. A custom domain, your links, and analytics you can trust — from $9/month. Looking for a Bitly alternative? Here’s the full comparison.
