urliz is a free URL shortener built for people who actually need to know what happens to their links. Real analytics, custom slugs, QR codes, expiry rules, password protection, and branded domains — every feature is below.
Paste any long URL and get a tidy short link in seconds. No sign-up, no credit card, no install. Sign in later if you want analytics, custom slugs and a history of every link you've ever made.
Every click on a urliz short link is recorded with country, city, device, browser and referrer. See trends over the last 24 hours, 7 / 30 / 90 days, or all time. The dashboard has per-link breakdowns and a global view across every link in your account.
Pick the part after the slash yourself: urliz.io/my-launch instead of a random code. Slugs are checked for availability while you type and locked into the database with a per-domain uniqueness constraint so you'll never accidentally collide with someone else's link.
Every short link has a QR code generated on demand from the dashboard. Use it on print materials, packaging, posters, or anywhere a URL on screen would be awkward to type.
Make a short link self-destruct after 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a fixed number of clicks. After the limit the link returns 410 Gone instead of redirecting — useful for time-bound promotions, single-use shares, or invitations that shouldn't outlive their welcome.
Add a password to any link. Visitors hit a clean unlock page, type the password, and only then get forwarded to the destination. Passwords are hashed with PBKDF2-SHA-256 (600k iterations) and verified server-side with per-IP rate limiting.
Bring your own short domain — go.yourbrand.com or links.yourbrand.com — and serve every short link from it instead of urliz.io. We handle the DNS verification with Vercel and route automatically so links keep working from day one.
Protect your account with TOTP via Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy, or any standard authenticator app. Once a factor is verified, every sign-in must satisfy it before the dashboard or any state-changing API will accept the session.
urliz ships with English, Hebrew, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Chinese, including right-to-left layout for Hebrew and Arabic. Switch languages from settings — your preference is remembered.
Append utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign to your destination URL right from the create form. The short link redirects to the fully-decorated destination so your downstream analytics see the campaign data.
