Move from Bitly to T.LY
Convert a Bitly export into a T.LY bulk import file.
Use this when you have a Bitly export and want to recreate the links inside T.LY. Keep your original Bitly CSV untouched so you can compare rows if anything looks off.
Steps
- Export your Bitly links as CSV from Bitly.
- Check that the file includes the long destination URL and the Bitly short URL or back-half.
- Open the Shortener CSV Import Mapper for Bitly.
- Paste or upload the Bitly export and download the T.LY import CSV.
- Open Links, then choose Bulk Actions → Bulk Import.
- Import 5 to 10 important links first. Test the redirects before importing the full file.
Watch for
- Custom domains: make sure the domain you want to use is already added and verified in T.LY before importing branded links. T.LY cannot keep old custom-domain short URLs working unless that domain is pointed to T.LY.
- Duplicate back-halves: rename anything that is already taken on the selected T.LY domain.
- Campaign links: check ads, QR codes, and email links by hand after import.
