Short links

One short link. Your rules.

Every capture gets a clean atcap.app link that looks right in chat, tickets and email. You decide who can open it and for how long, and you see who did.

Long link → short link → chat

The journey of a link

Long address → short link → shared → opened

Step 1

Long address

A file in your workspace, or any web address you paste in.

Step 2

Short link

A random, unguessable code on atcap.app or your own domain.

Step 3

Shared

Paste it anywhere. Chat apps show a preview of the capture.

Step 4

Opened

The visitor passes your rules, the view is counted, the capture appears.

Control

Protection that travels with the link

Set it when you share, change it later, or set a default for the whole workspace. Every visit is checked against the rules in force at that moment.

Password

Share the password separately. The capture stays hidden until it's entered, even in link previews.

Sign-in only

Only people with an ATCapture account can open it, and they can join the comments.

Expiry and limits

Expire on a date, after a number of views, or a set time after the first visit. Pause any time.

Analytics

Views and unique visitors over time, with devices, browsers, countries and where visitors came from.

Your domain and logo

Use your own short-link domain and show your logo and name on share pages.

Comments

Viewers discuss the capture on the share page. Pin a comment to a spot or a moment.

Password, sign-in, expiry, analytics and custom domains are part of Pro and Team. See pricing.

Questions

Short links FAQ

What do ATCapture links look like?

Screenshots use atcap.app/i/…, recordings atcap.app/v/… and shortened web addresses atcap.app/u/…. Codes are random, so links can't be guessed.

Can I protect a link?

Yes. On Pro and Team a link can need a password or an ATCapture sign-in, expire on a date, stop after a number of views, or be paused at any time. You can change this after sharing.

Can I set a default for every new link?

Yes. Workspace sharing defaults (Pro and Team) apply to every link, so captures are protected without anyone remembering to do it.

What analytics do I get?

Views, unique visitors, devices, browsers, countries and referrers per link, with link previews and bots counted separately so the numbers stay honest.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Pro and Team workspaces can add a custom short-link domain in the dashboard.
