Bit.do

Q: Is Bit.do down?

It was unreachable on 5 Nov 2026. The secure site showed a certificate error and the plain version timed out. We found no notice explaining why.

Q: Do old bit.do links still work?

We could not confirm it. Open one of your links in a browser to check before you rely on it.

Q: Has Bit.do shut down?

We do not know. There is no shutdown notice or news, so it may be a temporary problem. We will update this page when the status is clear.

Q: Is Bit.do the same as Bitly?

No. Bit.do and Bitly (bit.ly) are separate services with similar names.

Q: Should I use Bit.do for new links?

Not for now. Use a shortener you can reach and that publishes its plans, such as TinyURL or Cuttly.

The short version

Is Bit.do still working?

We could not confirm that it is. On 5 Nov 2026, bit.do served an HTTPS certificate that did not match its domain, and the plain HTTP version did not load, so we could not reach the shortener.

We also found no shutdown notice or news, so this may be a temporary fault rather than a closure. Software listings such as G2 still describe Bit.do as a URL shortening and link management platform, with branded links, click analytics and QR codes. Old bit.do links may or may not still redirect. Test one before you rely on it.

Bottom line: do not use Bit.do for new links until the site works again. Pick a shortener that is clearly live, such as TinyURL or Cuttly, which both have free plans.
