Link shortener with click tracking
A link shortener replaces a long web address with a short link that is easy to share and track. With Krealo QR, you create a short link on qr.krealomedia.com, count its clicks and also get its QR code. The Free plan allows up to 10 active links. Pro, at $5.99 a month, adds the custom slug.
What is a short link?
A short link is a brief address that redirects to a much longer one. It slips easily into a message, a post, a business card or an email. When someone clicks qr.krealomedia.com/your-slug, they are sent to the destination page you chose.
Why count clicks?
A tracked link tells you whether your message gets read. You see how many people clicked, which helps compare two posters, two posts or two mailings. Free shows the total number of clicks for each link. Pro breaks visits down by day, country, device type and referrer.
A custom slug with Pro
On the Free plan, the slug is random. With Pro, you choose your own: qr.krealomedia.com/menu is far easier to remember and say out loud than a random string of letters. A clear slug also builds more trust before the click.
302 redirect: the destination can change
Krealo QR uses a 302 redirect, which means a temporary one. That is what allows the destination address to be changed later, with Pro, without changing the link or the printed QR code. Only http and https addresses are accepted, and dangerous destinations such as javascript: or data: are blocked.
Statistics that respect privacy
We store no IP address. For each click, only the date, country, device type (mobile, tablet or desktop) and referrer domain are recorded, for one year. You get useful numbers without tracking people.
From short link to QR code, and the API
Every short link comes with its QR code. You can download it as a PNG, or as SVG and PDF with Pro. If you create many links, the Pro REST API lets you create and list them from your own tools.
