ZQRL is a modern, high-performance link management and digital engagement platform. It empowers businesses and creators to shorten long URLs, design customized dynamic QR codes, attach custom branded domains, create intelligent geo- and device-based dynamic redirect rules, track deep real-time clickstream analytics, and integrate workflows via a developer REST API.
Yes! ZQRL offers a free tier that lets you create short links, generate basic QR codes, and view essential click analytics without entering payment information. You can sign up in seconds by clicking "Register" on the homepage and entering your name, email, and password, or by clicking "Sign in with Google" for instant one-click onboarding.
Two-Factor Authentication adds a critical security layer by requiring both your password and a time-sensitive 6-digit verification code to log in. You can activate 2FA under Profile → Security by scanning the QR code with any standard authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password). Our login interface supports auto-focus, paste-to-fill, and backspace retreat for seamless verification.
On the login page, click the "Forgot Password?" link and enter your registered email address. You will receive a password reset link in your inbox. Click the link to set a secure new password. If you do not receive the email within a couple of minutes, check your spam folder or reach out to our Support Desk.
Log into your dashboard, click "Create Link", and paste your destination URL into the "Destination URL" field. By default, ZQRL generates a unique 6-character short code. To brand your link, type your desired slug into the "Custom Alias" box (e.g., `summer-sale`). The live availability indicator will immediately verify whether the alias is available.
Custom aliases are unique per domain, not globally across the entire platform. While two users cannot share the alias `promo` on the default `zqrl.link` domain, you can safely use `promo` on your own verified custom domain (e.g., `go.brand.com/promo`) even if someone else uses it on the default domain.
When creating or editing a short link, paste your long destination URL and click the "✨ Suggest with AI" button. ZQRL uses Google Gemini AI to analyze the context, domain, and keywords of your destination page and automatically recommends SEO-friendly, catchy short aliases. You can accept a suggestion with a single click.
You can secure sensitive links by enabling "Password Protection" and entering a password in the link editor. When visitors open the short link, they will see a branded verification screen asking for the password. The destination URL is only revealed and redirected once the correct password is provided. Passwords are encrypted with BCrypt hashing for maximum security.
Yes. You can set an exact deactivation date and time for promotional or time-sensitive campaigns. Alternatively, enabling "Single-Use" ensures the link redirects the very first visitor, then immediately deactivates. Once expired, visitors will see a clean, branded "Link Inactive or Expired" notice instead of an error.
Navigate to Short URLs → Import CSV. Download our sample CSV template, populate it with your destination URLs, optional custom aliases, and link titles, and upload the file. ZQRL validates and generates all short links in bulk, assigning them to your account within seconds.
Yes. ZQRL utilizes atomic cache invalidation. As soon as you update a destination URL in your dashboard, our redirect cache clears instantly. Visitors clicking the link will immediately be routed to the new destination URL with zero delay or caching lag.
