Frequently Asked Questions

Is the URL shortener really free?

Yes. EQRGen's URL shortener is free with no time limit. You can create unlimited short links, get matching QR codes for each, and access analytics — all on the free plan.

Do I get a QR code with every short link?

Yes. Every short link automatically comes with a high-resolution QR code that points to the same destination. Download the QR in PNG, SVG, or PDF for use in print, packaging, or video.

Can I customize the short link handle?

Yes. Instead of a random short code, you can pick your own handle — for example eqrgen.com/go/spring-sale. Handles must be unique and follow basic URL formatting rules.

Can I change where the link points after I share it?

Yes. EQRGen's short links are dynamic — you can update the destination URL anytime without changing the short link or the QR code. Existing scans and clicks continue to work and route to the new destination.

What analytics do I get?

You can see total clicks, unique visitors, geographic distribution (country, region, city), device types (mobile, desktop, tablet), browser, operating system, and timestamp of every click — for both link clicks and QR scans, in one dashboard.

Can I password-protect a short link or set an expiry date?

Yes. You can require a password before the link redirects, set a start and end date, cap the total number of clicks, restrict by country or device, and add CAPTCHA protection — all from the security settings.

How is this different from other URL shorteners like bit.ly or TinyURL?

EQRGen combines URL shortening with branded QR code generation, full design customization, password protection, scan + click analytics, and dynamic destination editing — in a single free tool. Most other shorteners require a paid plan for analytics, custom handles, or branded QR codes.

Do my short links expire?

No. Free short links on EQRGen never expire. Your links keep working for as long as your account is active.

Shorten any long URL into a clean, short link in seconds with our free URL shortener — and get a matching QR code for every link, automatically. Paste your destination, optionally pick a custom handle, and you have both a tappable short URL and a scannable QR code ready to share anywhere.

What is a URL Shortener with QR Code?

A URL shortener turns a long, unwieldy web address into a short, memorable link that points to the same destination. EQRGen's URL shortener pairs every short link with a high-resolution QR code so you can use the same campaign asset across digital and print. Both formats — the short link and the QR code — track clicks and scans in a single analytics dashboard. Because each short link is dynamic, you can change the destination URL at any time without changing the short link or reprinting the QR code.

How to Create a URL Shortener with QR Code

  3. Configure security if needed — password, expiry date, click cap, geo restriction, CAPTCHA

  5. Copy the short link and download the QR code — share both wherever you reach customers

Real-World Use Cases

Marketing teams shorten campaign URLs into branded handles like eqrgen.com/go/spring-sale and use the matched QR code on flyers, billboards, and print ads. Click + scan analytics show which channel drove the most engagement, all in one report — no separate UTM stitching required.

Social media managers replace ugly product URLs with short links in Instagram bios, X / Twitter posts, and LinkedIn updates — saving precious characters in SMS, X, and email subject lines. The dashboard tracks which post drove the most traffic across platforms.

E-commerce brands attach QR codes from short links to product packaging — buyers can scan to leave a review, claim a discount, or watch a how-to video. When the campaign changes, the destination updates without reprinting any packaging.

Affiliate marketers turn long affiliate tracking URLs into clean short links and watch click-through rates by country, device, and time of day. Each link is editable, so swapping merchants or affiliate IDs takes seconds, not redeploys.

Event organizers use short links on tickets, badges, and signage. Attendees can either type the short URL or scan the QR — both route to the latest schedule, map, or live stream, even after last-minute changes.
