Can I check a Bitly link's destination before clicking on it?

If you aren't so sure about where a link will take you, use the Bitly Link Checker.

Paste your link into the field and click Check it. This opens a page that shows the destination URL underneath the short link.

The Bitly Link Checker is also available on the Bitly Mobile app to easily see the destination of a Bitly link with or without a logging in.
