A free URL shortener that tracks every click and lets you change the destination later
Paste a long URL and get a short linkhiver.com/s/ link with a QR code and click tracking. The link is dynamic: change where it points whenever you like and the same short link and QR keep working, so nothing you have already printed or posted breaks. It is free to start — this is the maker writing, so the places where the free plan is tight are marked.
Editable destination, so the link never goes stale
Shorten a URL in one step
There is no setup. Paste the long URL you want to share, add a title if it helps you find it later, and Linkhiver returns a short linkhiver.com/s/ link you can copy anywhere.
Paste any http or https URL up to 2,048 characters.
You get a short seven-character linkhiver.com/s/ code, generated for you.
Copy it into a bio, a caption, an email or a print piece.
Each destination is screened against Google Safe Browsing before it redirects.
Every click is counted
A short link is only useful if you can see whether it worked. Each link keeps its own running count and a rolling last-30-days view, so you can tell a launch link apart from one nobody opened.
Total clicks and the last 30 days, per link.
Each click records device type and country.
See the top traffic source sending people to the link.
Tracking is cookieless — no consent banner, and it counts real redirects.
A QR code for every link
Every short link comes with a downloadable QR code that points at the short link, not the raw destination. Print it on a flyer, a menu or a poster and it stays valid even after you change where the link goes.
Download a PNG QR code for any short link.
The QR encodes the linkhiver.com/s/ link, so the printed code never expires.
Change the destination and the same QR keeps working — no reprint.
Change where it points, anytime
Short links here are dynamic. The code is permanent but the destination is not, so a link you shared last month can send people somewhere new today without losing its click history.
Edit the destination URL whenever you need to; redirection updates instantly.
Retarget a campaign link without reprinting a QR or reposting a bio.
Switch a link on or off, or delete it, from the same panel.
The short code and its click history stay with the link.
Free to start, and honest about the caps
The shortener is a free core tool, not a paid add-on. Where the free plan is tight is how many short links you can keep at once, and there are two things it deliberately does not do.
Keep up to 10 short links free; Pro raises that to 100 for $6 a month or $45 a year.
Click tracking and the QR code are included on every link, free.
Codes are generated for you — there are no custom vanity slugs.
Links serve from linkhiver.com/s/, not a custom short domain of your own.
Frequently asked questions
Is the URL shortener free?
Yes. You can create up to 10 short links on the free plan, and Pro raises the cap to 100 for $6 a month or $45 a year. Click tracking and a QR code are included on every link at no extra cost.
Can I change where a short link points after I have shared it?
Yes. Short links are dynamic, so you can edit the destination and the same linkhiver.com/s/ link and its QR code keep working. It is the easiest way to fix a campaign URL that changed or a page that moved without reprinting anything.
Can I choose a custom short code or use my own domain?
Not today. Short codes are generated automatically as a short random string, so there are no vanity slugs, and links serve from linkhiver.com/s/ rather than a custom short domain. If a branded, memorable link matters more to you than tracking, that is worth knowing up front.
What do the click analytics show?
Each link shows its total clicks and the last 30 days, plus the top traffic source sending people to it. Every click also records device type and country. Tracking is cookieless and counts real redirects, so the numbers reflect actual visits rather than page loads.
