Features

Everything a link needs - in one panel

From the first click to the last report, every tool you need to make a link useful, measurable and on-brand lives in a single place.

Branded short links

Auto-generated or custom slugs on your own domain, with expiration dates, click limits and single-use links.

Real-time analytics

See who clicks in real time - number of clicks, device, browser and country, plus a live activity feed.

QR code designer

Generate and style a QR code for every link - for posters, packaging, shop windows and business cards.

Smart routing & A/B testing

Send the same link to different pages by country, language or device, and split-test variants.

Retargeting, pixels & API

Retargeting pixels (Meta, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest), custom Open Graph previews, REST API and webhooks.

Team, roles & audit log

Each user manages only their own links; admins get full oversight, user management and a complete change history.

Why ShortURL

The advantages over Bitly, TinyURL & friends

Commercial shorteners are quick to start with, but over time they cost you - in money, data and locked features. ShortURL flips that.

No monthly fees

Install it once and use it without recurring costs. No price jumps as you add branded domains, more links or advanced analytics.

Your data stays yours

Every click lives on your own infrastructure instead of a third-party server - better for privacy and for regulations like GDPR.

No locked features

Branded domains, A/B testing, pixels and the API are all available immediately - no paywalls and no caps on links or clicks.

Full control & branding

Your domain, your look, your rules. Adapt the tool to your needs instead of bending to someone else’s product.

Links that never expire on you

Many free shorteners eventually disable links or shut down. Because you host it, your links keep working for as long as you want.

Open source (MIT)

See exactly how it works, change it and extend it. No black box and no lock-in to a single vendor.

How it works

From link to insight in three steps

No setup friction - sign in and you are ready to share and measure.

1

Sign in

Access is currently invite-only (public sign-up coming soon). Once you are in, your role decides who manages links and who oversees the whole system.

2

Create a link

Paste a long URL, pick a custom slug, and add a QR code, expiration or targeting rules if you need them.

3

Share & track

Share the short link and watch clicks, devices and countries arrive on your dashboard in real time.

Who it’s for

Built for everyone who shares links seriously

Marketing teams, agencies, and small and medium businesses - anyone who regularly shares links and wants to know what actually works, while keeping full control of their data.

Marketing teams Agencies Small & medium business Online shops Newsletters Social media Events & QR campaigns
