Know what your
marketing is worth.
Shorten any URL, generate free print-ready QR codes, and track every click and scan. SHORTCLIX shows you which campaigns are worth your time and money — and which only cost you both. The report comes to you by email. No login required.
Most teams have no idea which marketing actually pays off.
So budget and hours disappear into channels nobody can measure — print ads, QR codes, newsletters, email signatures, affiliate links. SHORTCLIX puts an honest number on each of them, so you can do more of what works and stop paying for what does not.
Three things almost no other shortener gives you.
Your numbers come to you.
Automatic weekly or monthly statistics emails arrive in your inbox — beautifully formatted and ready to forward to your team. No logging in, no remembering, no twelve-tab analytics suite. You glance at the report, and you are done. Want the detail? The full dashboard is one click away.
- ✓ Monthly email report on Basic
- ✓ Weekly email report on Pro
- ✓ Export anything as PDF, Excel or CSV
Just ask your AI assistant.
SHORTCLIX connects directly to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants through the open MCP protocol. Say “shorten and track this link” or “how many clicks did my summer campaign get last week?” — and your assistant creates the link, returns the QR code or pulls the numbers. Managing your links becomes a normal conversation.
- ✓ Works in Claude, ChatGPT & more via MCP
- ✓ Plus a REST API for Zapier, Make & n8n
- ✓ Available on Basic and Pro
Free print-ready QR codes.
Every short link comes with a print-ready QR code as an SVG — free, in every plan, including the free one. Scale it to any size for posters, packaging, flyers or business cards. And because every scan is tracked just like a click, you finally know whether your offline campaigns actually work.
- ✓ Vector SVG — scales to any print size
- ✓ Every scan tracked like a click

Where SHORTCLIX earns its keep.
A short link is just the start. Here is what you can actually do with one.
Outgoing links
Track how often visitors click through to your partners, sponsors, or external resources — data that does not show up in your own site analytics.
Downloads
Count PDF, ZIP, or media downloads that classic page-view analytics can't see. One short link, one honest counter.
Print & QR codes
Business cards, posters, packaging, podcasts. Every link comes with a print-ready QR code — and you finally know if anyone scanned it.
Affiliate & UTM links
Shorten messy Amazon affiliate URLs or UTM-loaded campaign links into something you can actually share — and track what they do.
Email signatures
See how many people actually click the link in your signature. (Spoiler: more than you think — and the numbers tell you when.)
A/B style comparisons
Use two short links for the green and the red button. See which one wins in the real world, without a heavyweight testing tool.
All your numbers. Always available.
From click overviews to referrers, devices, browsers, and geo data — your complete link tracking at a glance, with month-over-month and year-over-year comparisons.

Frequently asked questions.
SHORTCLIX is a URL shortener and QR code generator with built-in click tracking. You shorten links, generate print-ready QR codes, track every click and scan, and receive statistics by email or in your online dashboard.
A URL shortener turns a long, unwieldy web address into a short, memorable link that redirects to the original page. Beyond making links easier to share, SHORTCLIX counts every click — when it happened, where it came from, which device and browser — so you can measure how a link actually performs in newsletters, ads, social posts or print.
Google Analytics tells you what happens on your website. SHORTCLIX tells you what happens to your links — including outgoing clicks, downloads, links in print, in emails, on business cards and posters. And you do not need to log in: the report lands in your inbox.
Yes. Every short link comes with a print-ready QR code as an SVG file — included in every plan, even the free one. Because it is a vector file you can scale it to any size for posters, packaging, flyers or business cards, and every scan is tracked just like a click.
No. SHORTCLIX sends automatic weekly or monthly statistics emails with the numbers that matter. You only log in to the dashboard when you want to dig deeper. The Free plan stores 3 months of history, Basic 12 months and Pro 24 months — long enough to compare any month with the same month a year ago.
SHORTCLIX can shorten and track mailto: and tel: links, not just web links. That lets you see how often people click an email address or a phone number — for example in your email signature, on a contact page or in a campaign — something classic web analytics cannot measure.
Yes. Unlike most analytics tools, SHORTCLIX tracks outbound links that lead from your site to external pages — partners, sponsors or affiliate offers. You can see which external links get clicked and which get ignored, and use the same approach to measure individual elements or PDF downloads on your own site.
Yes, at no extra cost. For any link you can set an expiry date and time, after which it either shows an unavailable message or redirects to an alternative URL. This is handy for giveaways, signup forms or limited-time campaigns that should stop working after a deadline.
Yes. On the Basic and Pro plans SHORTCLIX provides an MCP server, so you can shorten and track links, generate QR codes and ask for click numbers right inside Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants — just by asking. There is also a REST API for tools like Zapier, Make and n8n.
Yes. The Basic and Pro plans include a REST API to create, update and analyze short links automatically — from your own software or from automation tools like Zapier, Make and n8n. Every new product, campaign or newsletter can get a tracked short link and QR code without touching the dashboard.
Yes. Whether you use shortclix.com or the shorter clx.bz domain, sharing a short link in apps like WhatsApp or Apple Mail still shows the title and preview image of the destination page.
Yes. All data is anonymized and stored in Germany, within the EU. SHORTCLIX sets no cookies and needs no tracking code on your website, so no additional cookie banner is required.
Not yet — and that is by design. Custom domains mean DNS configuration, certificate handling and IT tickets. SHORTCLIX is built to work the moment you sign up. You can still customize the slug of your links, for example shortclix.com/your-campaign.
Yes. The Free plan includes 1 user. Basic allows up to 5 team members and Pro supports up to 100 users — perfect for agencies and larger teams. Invited team members do not need a paid account.
Yes. SHORTCLIX is free forever — no credit card required. The Free plan includes 1 project, 5 links, print-ready QR codes, up to 1,000 tracked clicks per month and the full analytics dashboard with PDF, Excel and CSV export.
