Everything you need

More than just a short link

Every link comes packed with insights. Know exactly who clicked, from where, on what device — without any extra setup.

Deep Click Analytics

See total clicks, clicks over time, top devices, browsers, and referrers — all on a beautiful dashboard. Know your audience, not just your numbers.

City & Country Tracking

Every click is geolocated to the city and country level. See where in the world your links are being shared — automatically, in real time.

Instant QR Codes

A QR code is generated for every short link, automatically. Download it as a PNG and drop it anywhere — print, slides, or social media.

Clean Short URLs

Link Expiry Control

Set an expiry date on any link. After it passes, the link stops working automatically. Perfect for time-limited campaigns and promotions.

Pause & Resume Links
