When a user shortens a URL, a 64-bit hash string of 7 characters is generated randomly. The system then checks if the generated hash is already present in the database. If it is not unique, the process is repeated until a unique hash is generated. The long URL and the hash are then saved in the database. When a user clicks on the shortened URL, they are redirected to the original URL.
