Custom short links
Updated: 2026-06-02
A custom short link lets you replace a long, messy URL with a short, readable one you control — like dyqr.me/spring-sale. With DYQR.me you can customize the alias, brand the link, edit where it points at any time, and attach a matching dynamic QR code.
Customize your short link
Instead of a random code, pick the alias yourself. Customizing the short link makes it easier to read, easier to type, and easier to trust:
- Choose the alias: turn
example.com/?utm_campaign=2026-spring&ref=posterintodyqr.me/spring. - Readable slugs: short, memorable endings work better on posters, packaging, and slides.
- Reserved & blacklist rules: some words are protected; shorter or premium aliases may be gated behind a paid plan.
Branded short links
Branded short links carry your name instead of a generic redirector, so people recognize where the link goes before they click. Use them across campaigns, bios, QR codes, and offline ads to build trust and keep your brand consistent.
Editable destination + a matching dynamic QR code
Every custom short link can be paired with a dynamic QR code. The link (and the QR code) stays the same while the destination is fully editable:
- Update the target URL anytime — no need to reprint a poster or regenerate a QR code.
- Print once, keep improving the campaign behind the same short link.
- Switch a seasonal promo, fix a broken destination, or A/B a landing page without touching the printed asset.
Track every click
Custom short links come with built-in analytics. See total clicks and trends, plus breakdowns by country, device, browser, language, and UTM — so you know which channel actually drives traffic.
Link controls
Use link-level controls for marketing, security, or plan enforcement:
- Expiration time (valid only until a chosen date)
- Max-click limits (e.g. the first 1,000 clicks only)
- Password protection
Best for
- Marketing campaigns that need short, branded, trackable links
- Printed and offline assets (posters, flyers, packaging, business cards) that may need to change later
- Social bios and link-in-bio destinations you want to keep clean and on-brand
