Getting started

Welcome. In the next few minutes you'll shorten your first link and start seeing views — and estimated earnings — roll in.

Create your account

Sign up with Google, GitHub, or an email address and a password. A free account is all you need: your links, your views and your estimated balance all live there.

From the dashboard, open Links and paste any URL. You'll get a clean kool.ink short link you can share anywhere — on your website, YouTube, Telegram, WhatsApp or social media.

You can shorten links as a guest too, but only an account tracks views and attaches earnings to them. Create an account to make the most of every link.

Share it

Post your short link where your audience already is. Every valid click on it counts as a view toward your estimated earnings.

Watch your earnings grow

Open Earnings to see views and estimated earnings per link, updated live from your views. Earnings are estimates until payouts go live.

What to do next

  • Reach 10,000 unique views and apply to join the payout programme from the Payouts tab
  • Share your personal referral link to earn 10% of the earnings of every creator you bring in — for life
  • Read How earnings work and The payout programme
