Short link generator for print, slides and posts
A short link people can type, with clicks counted and a destination you can change.
A short link is a brief address that forwards to your long one, counts every click and can point somewhere new later. It suits slides, podcasts, emails and packaging text, where nobody can scan. Each short link can also be downloaded as a QR code for print.
Said on air, typed at home
A listener hears the short link on a podcast and types it later on the laptop.

How to make a short link
Paste the long address
The page you want people to reach, with tracking tags if you use them.

Slides, captions, emails and radio scripts.
Add a code later
Turn the same short link into a QR code for print.
Fixed or editable for short links?
-
Fixed QR code (static)
A fixed QR code stores your long address and has no short link. It suits print that never changes.
-
Editable QR code (dynamic)
Short links live in the app with editable codes: change where they lead and see clicks per day. Try it 14 days free, then plans from $9 a month.
Where short links work best
Slides and talks
A link the room can type before the next slide.
Radio and podcasts

Email footers
One link you can repoint each month.
Packaging text
A typed fallback next to the code.
Tips for short links
Choose a sayable word
Avoid letters that look alike, such as l and 1.
Print it under the code
People who cannot scan can still type it.
Keep one link per campaign
Separate links show which channel brought each visit.

Questions and answers
Before you print
- Is it free?
- Fixed codes are free: make as many as you like, download a PNG with no sign-up, and get every other format and print files with a free account. Editable codes come with a plan, a pass, Keep-alive or the 14-day trial.
- Can I change the link after printing?
- Yes, with an editable code. It holds a short link you control, so you can point the printed code somewhere new any time, and the next scan opens the new page. A fixed code keeps the link it was made with.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Yes. A custom domain is included on passes, from Starter, and during the trial. Starter covers one subdomain, for example go.yourbrand.com, and apex domains start on Pro.
- What happens if I stop paying?
- Editable codes work to the end of your paid period, and after a failed payment every code keeps working for 14 days. Turn codes back on within 12 months. Fixed codes keep working as long as their links do.
What is a short link?
A brief address that forwards to a longer one. It is easier to type and say, and it counts each visit.
Can I change where a short link goes?
Yes. Edit the destination in the app and the same short link opens the new page.
Can I make a QR code from a short link?
Yes. Each short link can be downloaded as a QR code, so screen and print share one counted address.
Can I pick the words in my link?
Yes. Choose the ending, as long as it is free on the domain.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on plans with custom domains. Your links then carry your own name.
Is a short link free?
Short links come with editable codes in the app. A fixed QR code to your long address is free in SVG, PNG, JPG, WebP, PDF and EPS.
Do short links expire?
A short link keeps working while your plan runs. Archive it in the app when the campaign is over.
