Spotify links are notoriously long. If you’ve ever tried to share one in a tweet, text, or printed flyer, you know the struggle. A single track or playlist URL can stretch on for what feels like a mile. Not exactly ideal when you’re trying to keep things clean and simple.

That's where app.y.gy comes in — a free link shortener and QR code creator that helps you turn messy Spotify URLs into something sleek, readable, and scannable.

Why Shorten Spotify Links?

Let’s say you’ve just released a new track or curated a perfect playlist. You want people to hear it, and you want them to hear it now. But here’s what you’re working with:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6xK1sZyr0YZCPlMZW0uFvV?si=abcdef123456

Now imagine you're trying to fit that into an Instagram bio, a tweet, or a small event flyer. Not fun.

Using Y.GY, that same link becomes: https://y.gy/summerjam

It’s easier to remember, looks better when shared, and feels more intentional. Bonus: you can even customize the back half of the link.

QR Codes Make It Even Easier

Now think offline. Maybe you’re handing out business cards, putting up posters, or printing an album insert. A shortened URL still requires someone to type it in manually — and most people won’t.

But a QR code? One quick scan and your listener is already in Spotify, playing your track.

With Y.GY, you get a high-quality QR code alongside every short link. No extra steps. You paste your Spotify link, hit "Shorten," and get a downloadable QR code ready to go.

Perfect for Artists, Marketers, and Creators

Whether you're a musician, podcast host, event organizer, or brand running a promo campaign, there are plenty of reasons to clean up your Spotify links:

Promote your latest release with a scannable code on physical merch
Drop a playlist link on Twitter that actually fits the character count
Embed a short, trackable URL in email newsletters
Share music at events without requiring anyone to type a URL

Y.GY was built to make this process quick, painless, and — most importantly — free.

How to Use app.y.gy with Spotify

Copy your Spotify link. This can be a song, album, artist, or playlist.
Paste it into the box on app.y.gy.
Customize the link if you want (e.g. y.gy/funkynight).
Hit "Shorten."
Download the QR code or copy the link to share.

That’s it. No login required unless you want to save and manage links later.

Track Clicks (If You Want)

If you're running a campaign and want to see how your link performs, Y.GY can help with that too. Sign in to your dashboard and you’ll be able to see:

For artists and marketers, these insights can be really helpful. You can run A/B tests with different links, tweak based on what’s working, or just satisfy your curiosity.

Built to Be Simple and Honest

Y.GY was created as a no-BS alternative to big link shorteners. No hidden limits, no spammy trials disguised as "free." Your short links won’t expire. Your QR codes won’t suddenly stop working. Whether you’re just sharing a song with friends or building out a full marketing funnel, we want the tool to just… work.
