Short links that don't leak your traffic.
A short link is a hop — your visitor's click goes somewhere, your data goes with it. Most free shorteners use that data themselves. Every link you make here resolves on a domain you control, with analytics that stay yours.
Custom slug, your domain
Pick any slug. Bring your own domain and the link reads as link.yourbrand.com/promo. Trust signal lands before the destination loads.
Re-point any link
Change where a link goes any time. The slug stays; the destination updates. Print it, share it, save it — the link follows you.
Every click, your data
Per-click logs with time, country, device, referrer. No third-party pixels, no cookie banner. Your click data lives next to your links.
Every short link gets a QR
The same record powers both. Print the QR, share the URL, track them together. One dashboard, two surfaces.
Track campaign attribution
Attach UTMs to the redirect target, not the short URL the user sees. Clean public link, full attribution downstream.
Export your link list
Plain CSV of every short link, slug, destination, scan count. If you ever leave, you walk out with the data.

Things people ask before they save.
Is it really free?+
Yes — the free tier covers short links, QR codes, basic analytics, and a your-handle.linked.codes subdomain. The lifetime tier unlocks higher event volume, your own custom domain, and the whitelabel surface.
How is this different from bit.ly?+
The free Bitly link runs on Bitly's domain — clicks read as a third-party hop, and analytics are paywalled. Every link here can run on your own domain on the lifetime tier, and basic analytics are free. Deeper comparison: Bitly alternatives.
Can I run my links on my own domain?+
Yes — bring a custom domain (or subdomain) on the lifetime tier. The walkthrough is in setting up a custom short-link domain.
Will my old links still work if I switch domains?+
Yes — every link keeps its slug. You can change the public-facing domain without breaking existing redirects.
What analytics do I get?+
Per-click timestamps, country, device family, referrer, and UTM passthroughs. Real-time view + historical aggregates. Detail: real-time link analytics.
Do you also do QR codes?+
Yes — every short link can be exported as a QR. Or start QR-first at the QR code generator.
Do you track or sell my data?+
No third-party pixels, no data sold. Your scan and click data lives on Linked.Codes and is exportable as CSV any time. The platform's stance is in owning your link infrastructure.
