Why Switch from Short.io?
The "Link + QR" Advantage
Short.io is a powerful link shortener. But in today's mobile-first world, a link is often accessed via a camera, not a click. QRLynx bridges this gap. We provide the same robust custom domain shortening you love, but pair it with a world-class Dynamic QR Code generator and a mobile Bio Page builder.
Visual Branding: Short.io helps you brand the text of your link. We help you brand the visual entry point too. Customize your QR codes with logos, colors, and unique shapes that stand out on any poster or product.
Consolidated Tools: Don't maintain separate subscriptions for link management and QR generation. QRLynx handles both seamlessly in one secure, team-friendly dashboard.
Why Choose QRLynx over Short.io?
Pro QR Generator
Short.io's QR codes are functional. QRLynx's are promotional. Design beautiful, on-brand codes that encourage more scans.
Bio Page Builder
Create a home for your links. Build a mobile-optimized 'Link-in-Bio' page hosted on your own domain directly within QRLynx.
Deep Analytics
Track more than just clicks. See scan locations (City/Country), device types, and operating systems to optimize your campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does QRLynx support custom domains?
Yes. Just like Short.io, we allow you to connect your own domain (e.g., links.yourbrand.com) so all your short links are fully branded white-label.
Can I import links from Short.io?
Yes. You can import a CSV of your long URLs to bulk-create new short links in QRLynx. Note that existing external links cannot be redirected, but you can start using your new QRLynx links immediately.
Is QRLynx good for print?
Excellent. While Short.io focuses on digital clicks, we specialize in the physical-to-digital bridge. Our vector QR codes (SVG/EPS) ensure your print campaigns look professional and crisp.
Do you have an API?
Yes. We offer a comprehensive API for creating links, generating QR codes, and retrieving analytics programmatically.
What about team access?
Our Team and Agency plans allow you to invite members, assign roles, and manage permissions for different projects or clients.
Can shortened links be edited?
Yes. All links on QRLynx are dynamic. You can change the destination URL anytime without breaking the short link or the QR code.
