One short link, three things you control

Your shared address, destination and preview each have a different job. Changing the page a link opens does not require a new address.

The preview people see

Set the title, description and image for supported sharing experiences. The illustration is an editable preview example; each messaging or social platform controls how it displays the result.

The address and the destination

The short address is what you share. The destination is the page it opens. Use qrc.sh with an available path, or select a custom domain you own and have verified. Update the saved destination when your campaign changes.

URL shortening questions

Choose an address, manage your destination and understand click tracking and access.

In your QR Code AI account, create a Smart Link. Choose its short address, select Website URL and enter the destination, then customize the sharing preview. Select Create beneath the preview to save the link. Share the resulting short address in a message, email or other channel where you can place a link.

You can use the provided qrc.sh domain and an available path. A custom domain is optional. To use your own domain, add it to QR Code AI and complete the ownership and DNS verification before selecting it for your short address.

Edit the saved Smart Link, update its destination and save the change. The short address you already shared can stay the same. Check the updated link before using it in another campaign; changing a destination and changing the shared address are different actions.

You can set a preview title, description, icon and optional image for supported sharing experiences. This preview is separate from the destination page. Messaging and social platforms decide how and when to display it, so an updated preview is not a guarantee of an immediate change everywhere.

Smart Link reports show counted clicks, referrers and supported campaign dimensions. The UTM Builder is available for eleven URL-backed destination types, including Website URL. PDF, App Store / Play Store and hosted destinations do not show that builder. A click report does not establish a sale, conversion or app installation.

These are two different setups. For eligible app destinations, Deep Link prepares a Destination Rule that attempts native opening and keeps a mandatory web fallback. App Store / Play Store, also called OneLink, selects an available iOS store, Android store or web destination. It needs at least one valid destination and does not use the generic Deep Link shortcut.

Smart Links support password protection and access controls such as a future expiration date. Review the settings for the link and save your changes before sharing it. A password must be successfully unlocked before the visit enters normal click analytics.

Free creation allows three Smart Links per personal account and separately per non-Premium Workspace. The seven-day trial starts with the first QR code or Smart Link creation in that scope, or with the first eligible scan or click if an existing code or link has not started that trial. After seven consecutive days, Premium is required in that scope for continued use of the affected managed links. Without Premium, the affected links open a deactivated page after the trial.
