Custom Alias Generator
Turn random strings into memorable aliases. Generate custom slugs that are easy to remember, type, and share across any platform.
A custom alias generator gives you complete control over the appearance of your short links, replacing random character strings with meaningful words that describe your content. Custom aliases transform generic short links into branded assets that are memorable, trustworthy, and more likely to be clicked. A link like relurl.com/summer-sale communicates clearly what the destination contains, while a random string offers no context and may even appear suspicious. RELURL's custom alias generator lets you choose any available word or phrase as your short link slug, checking availability in real-time and suggesting alternatives if your first choice is taken. Each custom alias is unique to your account, ensuring your branded short links remain exclusively yours across all your marketing channels and campaigns.

Descriptive Short Links
Replace random character strings with meaningful keywords that describe your content. A custom slug tells users what to expect before they click, increasing trust and engagement.

Exclusive Slug Ownership
Once you create a custom alias, it belongs exclusively to your account. No other RELURL user can create the same short link, ensuring your branded slugs remain unique.
No Limits on Custom Alias Creation

What Makes RELURL Different
RELURL's custom alias generator is one of the most accessible on the market, with custom slugs available on every plan including the free tier. Many competitors reserve this feature for paid subscribers or branded domain users, limiting its availability to those willing to pay. RELURL takes the opposite approach: custom aliases are a standard feature available to everyone, reflecting the belief that link customization should not be a premium add-on. The alias creation interface is designed for speed and convenience, with real-time availability checks and suggestions that make finding the perfect slug quick and frustration-free. Each alias is uniquely yours, providing exclusive branding for your short links.
How We Compare to Alternatives
Many URL shorteners restrict custom aliases to paid plans or branded domain users. RELURL includes custom slugs on every plan including the free tier with no restrictions.
Some platforms limit the number of custom aliases you can create or charge per alias. RELURL imposes no limits on custom alias creation at any plan level.
Competing tools often force random string generation with no customization options on free tiers. RELURL's custom alias generator is fully functional on the free plan.

Tips and Best Practices
Keep Aliases Short and Descriptive
The most effective custom aliases are two to four words that clearly describe the destination. Short slugs are easier to type, remember, and share in character-limited spaces.
Use Relevant Keywords in Your Aliases
Choose slugs that include keywords related to your content. This helps users understand the destination and can provide SEO benefits from descriptive anchor text.
Test Your Alias Before Sharing
Verify your chosen alias redirects to the correct destination before including it in marketing materials, social posts, or print collateral.
