Our Story

About URLcut.ai

From random codes to readable links people actually trust.

URLcut.ai is built for anyone who shares links publicly and wants them to look clean, predictable, and professional—without ads, spammy codes, or pricing surprises.

When URLcut.ai is a good fit: marketing campaigns, social posts, newsletters, landing pages, and any situation where link trust and clarity matter.

The Problem We're Solving

Most URL shorteners still behave like it's 2010: they generate random strings that don't communicate anything and often push you into upgrades when you start getting traction.

Traditional URL Shorteners

Random & Forgettable
bit.ly/3xK9mPq

Random characters that mean nothing, are hard to remember, and can look suspicious.

URLcut.ai's Approach

Readable & Intentional

Readable slugs that match the destination and build trust before the click.

URLcut.ai uses AI to suggest meaningful slugs by analyzing the destination page, but you're always in control—you can edit, customize, or write your own slug.

Founder

Built by a developer who got tired of random link strings

Hi, I'm Ivan Bulut, a software development team lead based in Belgrade, Serbia.

I started URLcut.ai because every time I needed a short link for a campaign or a blog post, I got links that looked like bit.ly/3xK9mPq—random strings that didn't help the reader and didn't help the brand.

I kept thinking: why can't the short link communicate what's behind it?

That's the idea behind URLcut.ai: make short links readable by default, and optionally use AI to help generate better slugs faster.

Connect with me on LinkedIn. I try to respond personally to messages whenever possible, usually within a day.

URLcut.ai is actively developed and maintained based on real user feedback.
