Quote

In 2018, we announced the deprecation and transition of Google URL Shortener because of the changes we’ve seen in how people find content on the internet, and the number of new popular URL shortening services that emerged in that time. This meant that we no longer accepted new URLs to shorten but that we would continue serving existing URLs.

 

Over time, these existing URLs saw less and less traffic as the years went on - in fact more than 99% of them had no activity in the last month.

 

As such, we will be turning off Google URL Shortener. Please read on below to understand more about how this may impact you.

Who is impacted?

 

Any developers using links built with the Google URL Shortener in the form https://goo.gl/* will be impacted, and these URLs will no longer return a response after August 25th, 2025. We recommend transitioning these links to another URL shortener provider.

 

Note that goo.gl links generated via Google apps (such as Maps sharing) will continue to function....
