About URLy - the URL sharer

URLy is your handy and powerful URL shortener and file uploader that helps you share URLs. It comes with a lot of features, is highly customizable and very easy to use. You can shorten URLs, upload files and insert them into a new message. URLy also functions as a plug-in for Twigee and Twicca to upload files and shorten URLs.
It supports a lot of famous services like bit.ly, goo.gl, Dropbox, ImageShack, Yfrog, TwitLonger and many many more (see below for details).

URL shortener:
• Support for about 40 different shortening services: goo.gl, bit.ly / j.mp, CloudApp, kcy.me, is.gd, to.ly, tinyurl.com, saf.li, f2.am, smal.ly, ur.ly, su.pr, lnk.by, ux.nu and more.
• User credentials for goo.gl, bit.ly, kcy.me, su.pr and others so that URLs are added to your user's history.
• Shorten with your own Yourls or ShURLy shortener.
• Easily choose and rearrange the services you want to use.
• Custom URL support.
• Page title sharing.
• Shorten long youtube.com URLs to short youtu.be URLs.
• Search for songs and receive a short tinysong.com URL that points to the song at Grooveshark.
• Share shortened URL with other apps: Create a new E-Mail, SMS, Buzz, Tweet, Facebook post, Task, etc. with the shortened URL.
• Password-protect your URLs with din.gy, l4u.in and itshrunk.com.

File uploader:
• Upload photos with URLy via ImageShack, Yfrog, Twitpic, Twitgoo, Imgur (including album support), picplz, Moby, Plixi, Pikchur, Twitrp, Posterous, TwitrPix, TwitRP, FileSocial, min.us, Gallery3.
• Upload videos with Yfrog, ImageShack, Twitpic, Posterous, Pikchur.
• Upload any kind of file with Dropbox, CloudApp, FileSocial, Posterous, TwitDoc, ifile.it or your FTP server (via AndFTP).
• Receive the URL to the uploaded file and forward it to other apps.
• Resize photos before uploading them (saves a lot of bandwidth / upload time).
• Insert forum code for uploaded images (see menu -> insert forum code -> this will wrap you URL into [img] [/img]
• Auto-shorten the file URL with your favourite URL shortening service.

Post messages:
• Use URLy to insert the short URL and file URL into a new message / status update.
• Post it directly to Twitter or any Twitter-compatible service like identi.ca, shoutem.com or twitter-api.wordpress.com or forward it to other apps like TweetDeck.
• Shorten messages with TwitLonger.
• Insert special UTF-8 characters into the message.
• Send messages via Twitter API proxy if you can't perform the Twitter OAuth due to firewall restrictions.

Twigee & Twicca plug-in:
• Shorten all URLs of the currently composed tweet using your favorite shortening service or Yourls server via URLy without leaving Twigee or Twicca.
• Use URLy as a media uploader.
• Reply to a tweet in Twicca: Select a tweet, press "Reply with URLy" and a new Tweet can be composed in URLy. After sending it, URLy will close so that you're back in Twicca.

Please visit my blog or follow me on Twitter / Facebook for further information. I'd appreciate any kind of feedback. If you have a suggestion / request / problem please send me an eMail. I can't investigate / elaborate it further if it is just a market comment.

At first glance the interface is a mess but after you take a minute to set your preferences it's easy to understand. I can't believe all of the services included in this little app, this is not your normal URL shortener/shrinker app. Sign into your accts like twitter, box, dropbox, bit.ly, etc & automatically share links, upload pictures & other files,& post to twitter with shorten URL of your choice. It's prefect for a phone with low memory &space cuz you don't need to install a bunch of apps to small does

This is a great app but its not working on 4.4.2 android. I used alot befor on my old phone but now i cant use. Please fix this issue.

I think the people who say this is good have been paid to say so. A good URL opener should be automatic not typing or cut n paste addresses in to a search box..this is like the 80s not the roaring 20s. .

One app to rule them all, as Tolkien would put it :) Quickly and effortlessly share files, photos or screenshots through plethora of website, shorten their URLs and tweet at the same expense. And the developer is fast with replies. I've gladly donated!

A great piece of software. Love the YOURLS support, but are we going to see URLy communicate with other PHP server APIs such as lessn/lessnmore in the future? That'd get it its fifth star.

Works great and NO permissions. That's right, no backhanded stealing your contact info, reading your text. Great job!

It's finally broken. Sharing doesn't work on 5.1 Chroma

Great tool for shortening urls, and upload files, like image. Unfortunately, it seems there will be no more updates :( I really wish I could upload files to zippyshare

This is a great little app to shorten up reaaly long URL's, to share then and there! You will love having this app! :) The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is because (for an example) I would like to, as URLy does, from an email, go into it and create the shortened link, but (here's the difference) then immediately drop back into the email and paste the link in. It can do that now, but not in just one step. It is definitely worth having! :-)

Using with my own version of YOURLS and works like a charm.

The app is very good, does what it's supposed to do very well. But the old design is very ugly, if the developer have the time to improve the looks of the app it would be great.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but there is no button to upload images. I can select images, resize them, etc. but there is no upload button so how do I upload them?? I don't get it. EDIT: Nevermind. There was something going on where the triangle button would not submit and kept asking me for my Twitter account. It uploads fine now.

etsin jotain sovellusta jolla jakaa nopeasti screenshotit siedettävän pituisilla urleilla *looks angrily at photobucket*. Tämä täydellinen siihen (noh, kaikista paras olisi jaa ja "ohjelma" =linkki kopioitu) noin 4-5 painallusta niin on linkki (xperian screenshotin jakaminen siis).. + 1!!

I'm on Jelly Bean, so that may be the problem. Regardless, the app & its Twicca plugin are useless to me right now.

It's the perfect companion for internet sharers and social media users. It supports lots of services and lets you control all the aspects of your sharing actions. I love this app

I see all of these comments about how great this app is. How easy it is to use. I don't know what anybody is talking about, I can't figure this thing out for the life of me, I can't find any directions on the internet, and no directions on this page. Useless app until you know how to use it

I love sharing links with my friends from Spotify urly does a great job of pulling the name of the track. Is there a way to get the menu you option to swap urls to come up on tablets I can use it on my phone fine but no menu option for my ics tablet that would get me to change my rating to a 5 star one keep up the great work

by D####:

on the Play store. Endlessly useful and free of restrictions, I can't recommend it enough if you're someone who hates how otherwise fiddly and annoying link sharing is on phones. I'd happily pay for this app
