Create and share

What is Shortnshare?

Shortnshare turns any long URL into a short, shareable link and an easy-to-scan QR code. Everything you create is saved to your library, where you can organise it into projects and see how each link performs.

How to create a short link or QR code

  1. Go to the Create screen.
  2. Paste your long URL into the Destination URL field.
  3. Open Customize link to pick a custom name, a QR theme, a project, or the email option.
  4. Click Create link. Your short link and QR code appear straight away.
  5. Copy the link or download the QR image from the success view.

Why is my QR code not scanning?

Make sure the printed or displayed QR has enough contrast and is large enough (at least about 2 cm wide for close scans). If you used a darker theme, try the “Classic” theme for the best compatibility.

Your library

Where do my links live?

All your generated links, QR codes and flipbooks are saved automatically to the Library. You can group related links into a project for easier organisation, and manage projects from the Library screen.

Popular questions

Can I customise my short link?

Yes. When creating a link, open the “Custom name (slug)” field and pick a name 3–30 characters long using letters, numbers, _ or -. Each slug must be unique. Leave it blank to get a random short code.

How can I get my link by email?

Enter your email address in the “Email me the link” field under Customize link before clicking Create. We’ll send the short link (and the QR image if you generated one) to that inbox.
