While we previously announced discontinuing support for all goo.gl
URLs after August 25, 2025, we've adjusted our approach in order to
preserve actively used links.

We understand these links are embedded in countless documents,
videos, posts and more, and we appreciate the input received.

Nine months ago, we redirected URLs that showed no activity in late
2024 to a message specifying that the link would be deactivated in
August, and these are the only links targeted to be deactivated. If
you get a message that states, "This link will no longer work in the
near future", the link won't work after August 25 and we recommend
transitioning to another URL shortener if you haven't already.

All other goo.gl links will be preserved and will continue to
function as normal. To check if your link will be retained, visit the
link today. If your link redirects you without a message, it will
continue to work.
