Why urlzap
A free URL shortener with QR codes, custom aliases, URL expansion & analytics
urlzap is built for people who want more than a basic short link. You can shorten long URLs, choose a custom alias, generate a QR code, set link expiry, expand short URLs, and check click analytics from the same dashboard.
Whether you are sharing assignment links, project demos, portfolio pages, Google Forms, event registrations, or deployment URLs, urlzap helps you create clean short URLs that look better and are easier to copy, remember, and monitor.
Looking for a url shortener for students, developers, or fast-moving teams? urlzap is designed for practical sharing, not just shorter text.
Custom aliases
Create memorable short links for assignments, campaigns, portfolios, and product demos instead of relying only on random strings.
Expiry controls
Set links to expire in 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days when a share should stay temporary instead of living forever.
QR code generation
Open, download, and reuse QR codes for the same short URL when you need scan-ready sharing for posters, slides, or events.
Built-in analytics
Track clicks, review visit history, and keep recent links available in your dashboard so important URLs stay easy to manage.
URL expansion
Paste a short URL to reveal its final destination, redirect status, and HTTP status before opening it.
Use Cases
Use one shortener for classrooms, side projects, events, and product demos
A strong URL shortener should help both the sender and the person opening the link. That means cleaner copy in chats, better-looking links in resumes and portfolios, and fast access when people scan or tap your short URL.
urlzap works well for students submitting assignments, developers sharing Render or Vercel deployments, clubs posting registration forms, and teams sending campaign links with QR codes and expiry controls.
Assignments and portfolios
Replace long Google Drive, Docs, Notion, and GitHub URLs with shorter links that feel cleaner in submissions and bios.
Render and Vercel deployments
Shorten long deployment links before sharing demos with recruiters, clients, teammates, or hackathon judges.
Forms and registrations
Turn Google Forms and event pages into short URLs that are easier to print, announce, and share in group chats.
Messaging and social sharing
Keep WhatsApp, Telegram, LinkedIn, and email messages tidy by using links that are short, readable, and easy to trust.
