​
URL Validation

sptfy.in only accepts valid Spotify URLs from these domains:
  • open.spotify.com/* - Standard Spotify links
  • spotify.link/* - Official Spotify short links (auto-expanded)

​
What Happens If URL Is Invalid

If you paste a non-Spotify URL, you’ll see an error dialog: Error: No Spotify URL Found
The clipboard content doesn’t contain a valid Spotify URL. Please copy a link from Spotify and try again.
sptfy.in is designed exclusively for Spotify URLs. Other link shorteners exist for general-purpose URL shortening.

​
Generated vs Custom Slugs

By default, sptfy.in generates a random 4-character slug for your link:
  • Example: sptfy.in/a7x9
  • Format: Lowercase letters (a-z) and numbers (0-9)
  • Length: Starts at 4 characters, increases automatically if needed
