Bulk URL Shortener

Bulk URL Shortener Limits

Understand upload limits and supported file formats.

Coming Soon...

Overview

The Bulk URL Shortener is designed to process large batches of URLs efficiently while maintaining reliable performance. To ensure stable operation for all users, SPRL applies certain limits on uploads, processing, file sizes, and customisation options.

Understanding these limits before starting a bulk operation helps you prepare your data correctly and avoid unnecessary upload or processing errors.

Good to Know:
If your dataset exceeds any supported limit, simply divide it into multiple smaller batches and process each batch separately.

Bulk Upload Limits

Limit Supported Value
Supported File Formats CSV, XLS, XLSX
Maximum URLs per Upload 10,000 URLs
Maximum File Size 10 MB
Required Spreadsheet Columns 3 columns

Personalised Link Generator Limits

When using the Personalised Link Generator for advanced bulk link creation, the following limits apply:

Limit Supported Value
Maximum Links per File 50,000 links
Maximum Spreadsheet Columns 20 columns
Maximum File Size 10 MB

Custom URL Slug Limits

If you choose to generate custom URL slugs during bulk processing, each slug must follow the supported validation rules.

Setting Requirement
Length 6–30 characters
Allowed Characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, hyphen (-), underscore (_)

What Happens When a Limit Is Reached?

If an upload exceeds one or more supported limits, SPRL will ask you to correct the issue before processing begins.

Situation Recommended Action
File is larger than 10 MB Split the data into smaller files.
More than 10,000 URLs Create multiple upload files.
Invalid file format Save the spreadsheet as CSV, XLS, or XLSX.
Invalid custom slug Update the slug to meet the supported rules.

Optimising Large Bulk Operations

When processing thousands of URLs, following a structured workflow can improve efficiency.

  • Organise URLs before uploading.
  • Remove duplicate entries.
  • Split very large datasets into smaller batches.
  • Verify your spreadsheet before uploading.
  • Apply bulk settings consistently.
  • Review the generated results before publishing.

Choosing the Right Processing Method

Requirement Recommended Method
Quick list of URLs Copy & Paste Multiple URLs
Spreadsheet of URLs Excel or CSV Upload
Extract links from an existing webpage Extract & Shorten URLs from a Webpage
Large personalised link campaigns Personalised Link Generator

Why These Limits Exist

The limits help ensure reliable processing, maintain platform performance, and provide a consistent experience when handling large batches of URLs.

By validating uploads before processing, SPRL can detect common issues early and reduce the likelihood of incomplete or failed bulk operations.


Best Practices

  • Keep upload files below the supported size limit.
  • Use CSV, XLS, or XLSX formats only.
  • Validate your spreadsheet before uploading.
  • Break very large projects into multiple batches.
  • Use meaningful campaign settings across each batch.
  • Download and verify generated links after processing.

Troubleshooting

My file exceeds the maximum upload size

Reduce the number of rows or split the spreadsheet into multiple files until each upload is within the supported file size limit.

I have more than 10,000 URLs

Divide your URLs into multiple spreadsheet files and upload each batch separately.

My custom URL slug is rejected

Verify that the slug contains only supported characters and is between 6 and 30 characters long.

Why can't I upload my spreadsheet?

Ensure the file is saved in CSV, XLS, or XLSX format, does not exceed 10 MB, and contains the required spreadsheet structure.
