# How to import links from Rebrandly into ShortPen

> Import your Rebrandly links into ShortPen easily. Keep slugs, destinations, and domains while managing all links in one place.

**Short answer:** Connect Rebrandly in ShortPen’s **Import/Export wizard**, paste your Rebrandly **API key**, choose the **domain** to map your links to, then **Start import**. ShortPen will create the URLs in your selected workspace and keep slugs, destinations, and titles intact.

## Before you start

* You can access your **Rebrandly API key** (Rebrandly → Account → API).

  <Step title="Paste your Rebrandly API key">
    Log in to Rebrandly, generate/copy your **API key** (Account → [API](https://app.rebrandly.com/account/api)).

    Back in ShortPen, paste it into **API Key**.

    ***
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the target domain">
    Use **Domain** to select which connected domain will host the imported URLs.

    <Info>
      If you need to attach a branded domain first, see: [How to connect a custom domain to ShortPen](/docs/domains/domain-connection)
    </Info>

    ***
  </Step>

  <Step title="Import detected links">
    ShortPen lists the links detected from Rebrandly in a table.

    **Review the rows**, **delete any you don’t want to import**, then click **Import** to create only the selected links under the chosen domain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and organize">
    Go to **Links** to see your newly imported URLs.

    [Multi-select](/docs/link-management/manage-links-at-scale/bulk-actions) any subset to **Move to** [folders](/docs/link-management/links-organization/folders) or **Add** [tags](/docs/link-management/links-organization/tags) based on your taxonomy.

  **Notes**

  Any Rebrandly-specific settings not supported in ShortPen are skipped. You can re-apply equivalents via [Link settings](/docs/link-management/links/link-components) later.

  QR codes in Rebrandly aren’t imported as image assets. ShortPen can generate a [dynamic QR](/docs/link-management/qr-code/qr-creation) for any link.
</Note>

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Will my existing traffic keep working">
    Yes, once you share the new ShortPen URLs. Old Rebrandly-hosted URLs keep working only if you continue using Rebrandly. For clean analytics in ShortPen, distribute the ShortPen versions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I import into multiple domains at once">
    Run separate imports per target domain, or import to one domain, then bulk move links by editing the domain if needed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What about UTMs">
    If [UTMs](/docs/link-management/links-settings/utm-overview) were part of the destination URL in Rebrandly, they remain.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need an API key in ShortPen">
    No. You only need your Rebrandly API key for this wizard. ShortPen API Keys are optional for developer automations.
  </Accordion>
