Webtools is a suite of online tools from the University of Illinois that makes it easy to create short URLs for sharing, manage blogs, calendars, surveys, and more. If you have a long web address, you can quickly turn it into a short link that’s perfect for print, email, or web use. Plus, you can update the destination if it changes, so your short link always works—no need to resend or reprint anything.

Beyond URL shortening, you can also use Webtools for things like creating blogs, managing calendars, sending emails, and building surveys. These features are especially handy for university staff, students, and anyone who needs to communicate or organize information efficiently. With built-in reporting, you’ll also know how often your links get clicked, making it a handy resource for marketing and campus communications.
