Every link is a data point. Shorten, brand, and measure them all.
Turn long URLs into branded short links, QR codes, and campaigns — then see exactly who clicks, from where, and on what device. One dashboard, one API, and analytics you actually own.
A raw URL tells you nothing.
The problem
Long, ugly URLs are hard to share and impossible to measure. Once a link is out in the world, you lose sight of what happens next.
The cost
Without click data you are guessing which channels, posts, and campaigns actually drive traffic — and which ones quietly waste your budget.
The solution
Wrap any URL in a branded short link and get clicks over time, country, device, OS, browser, language, and referrer — grouped into campaigns.
The right tools, at the right scale.
QR codes built in
Generate a scannable QR code for any short link — perfect for print, packaging, and events, all tracked alongside your clicks.
Your own domain
Bring a custom domain so your links carry your brand, with automatic TLS — no developer experience required.
As big as you need
Right-sized for a few hundred links a month or scaling into millions of clicks right alongside you.
One request. A short link back.
No library to download, no textbook-sized manual. POST a long URL with your API key — optionally with a custom slug or your own domain — and get a ready-to-share short link in the response.
