PicSee allows users to utilize their own domain as a branded short domain for free. All shortened URLs will display your domain name, enhancing brand image while enjoying all the benefits of a branded short domain.

Since visitors are redirected to the target URL through PicSee's servers when clicking links, users must configure DNS records on their domain to point to PicSee's redirect servers.

Setup Instructions:

1. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and go to "Settings".
2. Switch to the "Domain" tab on the left.
3. Click "Add Branded Short Domain" in the "BSD" section.
4. Select "Use my own domain" and enter your domain name.
5. Verify if your domain is already in use. If it is, using it will disable your current website. We recommend adding a "subdomain" before your current domain - "subdomain.yourdomain" will become your branded short domain.
6. Choose your domain provider. If not listed, select "Others" and configure the DNS settings through your domain provider within 24 hours using the DNS information provided.
7. DNS settings may take up to 48 hours to take effect. Our system checks hourly, and PicSee will notify you via email once active, at which point you can start using this feature.

Free plan users can use one branded domain, while Personal plan subscribers and above can add unlimited branded domains.

Important!

1. Branded Short Domain Identical to Official Website: If your domain is already in use, such as www.example.com, you cannot use www.example.com/xxxxxx as your short URL because it will prevent access to your original website. Instead, use a subdomain like s.example.com (you can use 's' or any other letter) to ensure your short URLs use a different subdomain than your main website. If you're unsure about this setup, please consult with an IT-savvy colleague.
2. Domain with Mandatory Security (HSTS): Some domain providers enforce HTTPS connections (HSTS) for certain domains, commonly for .com and .com.tw. Since the free version doesn't include an HTTPS certificate, you'll need to subscribe to advanced features for proper redirection.
3. NCC Approval Required: Telecom providers directly check domain redirections, but using the free version redirects to the PicSee website, which may result in rejection. If you need NCC approval, we recommend first consulting with PicSee Support about your official website and intended branded short domain. Get setup recommendations, configure initially for telecom review, and complete the branded short domain setup on PicSee after approval.

Not fond of using "subdomain.yourdomain" as your branded short domain?

Many major companies use this format, such as DBS Bank with "go.dbs.com". However, if you're concerned about the length of your branded short domain, you can also purchase a PicSee Branded Short Domain for proper redirection.
