Simplify Link Sharing With Smart Redirects

Mockup showing /pay, /calendar, /linkedin, and other smart redirects.

You know what’s better than easy-to-share links? Easy-to-share links on your own custom domain.

We just rolled out Smart Redirects for all Gravatar custom domains. Zero setup required.

And right now, we’re offering free custom domains for your first year.

What Are Smart Redirects?

They’re simple shortcuts that make sharing your online presence a breeze. Add the name of any of your verified services to the end your domain:

your-name.link/bluesky
your-name.link/linkedin
your-name.link/calendar

That’s it. Your domain automatically redirects to your connected accounts. No configuration. No DNS wizardry. Just connect your accounts to Gravatar and the redirects work instantly.

These are perfect for email signatures, business cards, social media profiles, and more.

Simplified Payments With /pay

Here’s something cool: Smart Redirects make sharing payment links much nicer. Instead of dropping a long payment URL in your messages or emails, just use:

your-name.link/pay

This currently works with:

  • PayPal
  • Venmo
  • Crypto currencies
  • Custom (any link you want)

Just add your payment details to your Gravatar profile, and your /pay link automatically directs people to all of your preferred payment methods. Perfect for freelancers, creators, splitting the bill among friends, or anyone who needs to receive payments.

Free Domain? Tell Me More

For a limited time, claim your .link, .bio, or .social domain (or choose from other popular TLDs) through Gravatar. Just log in to your dashboard and look for the domain claim option at the top of your profile. Free for the first year.

Once you have your domain, Smart Redirects are automatically enabled. No extra steps needed.

Available Now

Smart Redirects work with most major platforms including GitHub, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon, Tumblr, and many more. We’ve also added handy shortcuts for your calendar (/calendar), contact (/contact), and payment info (/pay).

Getting Started

  1. Claim your free domain (if you haven’t already)
  2. Connect your accounts in your Gravatar profile
  3. Start sharing your shorter, sweeter links

And fun fact: both /twitter and /x work for your X profile. We’ve got you covered either way.

Why Your Own Domain Matters

Your domain is your identity on the open web. It’s not just for your Gravatar profile – use it everywhere to build your presence and own your digital footprint. And with Smart Redirects, it’s now even more useful.
