What you get for free

Everything listed here works today. Up to 100 active links, no credit card.

URL shortener with a QR code

Every link comes with a downloadable, print-ready QR code. It points at the short link - update the destination and the QR keeps working, so it behaves like a dynamic QR code at no cost. You can also generate a standalone QR code for any link, no sign-up needed, or follow the guide to wedding QR codes.

Click statistics

Total clicks and a daily breakdown, with real visitors separated from bots. WhatsApp previews and crawlers never inflate your numbers.

Tags & order

Organize links with colored tags such as "wedding", "campaign" or "work", and filter the list in one click.

Edit the destination

Point a link somewhere new whenever you need to. The short address and the printed QR code stay the same, and every change is kept in the link's history.

Developer API

Create and manage links from your own code with API keys and full documentation. Read the API docs.

Workspaces

Every account gets its own workspace: links, tags, and API keys grouped in one place under its own name.

Built to be trusted

Data stays in the EU

Everything is stored on Google Cloud in the European Union (Firestore, region eur3) and served from Europe. Full privacy policy.

Links keep working

No ads, no interstitial pages. A deleted link answers with a clear 410, and its address is never given to anyone else.

Abuse screening

Every destination is checked against Google Web Risk at creation and rescanned daily during its first 30 days, and anyone can report a harmful link without an account.

Questions people ask us

What happens to a deleted link?

It stops working and answers with HTTP 410, and its short address is never reassigned to anyone.

How do you tell people from bots?

Known previews, crawlers, and bots are identified by their browser signature and counted separately, so the number you see reflects real people.

Is there an ad or a preview page before the redirect?

No. A ktzr.io link redirects straight to the destination, with no ads and no interstitial page. Every destination is also screened against Google Web Risk.

Do ktzr.io links expire?

No. A link keeps working until you delete it or it is disabled for abuse. It never expires by itself, and its QR code keeps working with it.

Can I shorten a WhatsApp (wa.me) link?

Yes. Build a wa.me link with the number and a prefilled message using our free WhatsApp link generator, paste it into the app, and get a short link plus a QR code - you can change the message later without replacing the printed link.

What is the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?

A static QR code encodes a fixed address - if the destination changes, you need to print a new code. A QR code that points at a ktzr.io short link behaves like a dynamic one: the printed code stays the same, only the destination updates. Generate a QR code for a link here, no sign-up needed.
