Edit your QR code destination, toggle status, and manage everything from one menu
QR codes are now fully dynamic. Print a QR code once and change where it points as many times as you want — no need to reprint. Plus, every QR code now has a full actions menu for managing it right from your dashboard.
Change the URL your QR code points to without regenerating the image. Since every QR code encodes your short link (not the raw URL), updating the destination is instant and the printed QR code keeps working.
Open the edit drawer from the actions menu on any QR code card to update:
The edit drawer also gives you access to the same advanced settings available on short links:
Every QR code card now has a three-dot menu with quick actions:
Need to temporarily pause a QR code? Toggle it to inactive and scans will stop redirecting. Reactivate it whenever you're ready — no data is lost.
Dynamic QR codes are available to all users. UTM parameters require Ultra, and geotargeting requires Pro or Ultra. Manage your QR codes at /dashboard/qrcodes.
Get notified by email when your links hit click thresholds
Never miss a moment. You can now set click milestones on any link and receive an email notification the instant your link crosses a threshold you care about.
Set specific click targets on your links — like 100, 1,000, or 10,000 clicks — and we'll send you an email as soon as your link reaches each one. It's a simple way to stay on top of how your links are performing without constantly checking your dashboard.
When you edit a link, you'll find a new "Click Milestones" section. Setting up milestones is quick:
Milestones that have already been reached are highlighted in green so you can see your progress at a glance.
Once a milestone is reached, you'll get an email with your link name, the milestone crossed, and the current total click count. Each milestone only fires once — no duplicate notifications.
Click milestone notifications are available on paid plans:
Click milestones are available to Pro and Ultra subscribers. Set your first milestone by editing any link from your dashboard.
Track scans, locations, devices, and referrers for every QR code
QR codes now have their own analytics. Previously, you had to create a short link first and then select it when creating a QR code in order to track scans. Now, every QR code tracks scans automatically — no extra setup needed.
Just enter your destination URL when creating a QR code and scan tracking is set up for you. No need to create a short link beforehand or configure anything else.
Click any QR code card to view its full analytics. You get the same detailed insights available for short links:
The creation page has been streamlined. Instead of having to create a short link first and then come back to select it, you now just enter a destination URL and you are done.
QR code analytics are available to all users. Pro users get access to extended date ranges and the world map heatmap. View your QR codes at /dashboard/qrcodes.
A completely refreshed UI with a cleaner, more intuitive design
We have completely redesigned the iShortn dashboard and landing page. Every page has been rebuilt with a refined design system focused on clarity, consistency, and ease of use.
The entire interface has been overhauled with a minimal, modern design language. The goal was simple: make everything cleaner, more readable, and easier to navigate.
This redesign follows a few core principles:
The result is an interface that feels lighter, faster, and more professional. We hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed building it.
Move all your links, domains, and resources to another iShortn account
Need to move your work to a different account? Resource transfer lets you migrate everything—links, custom domains, QR codes, folders, tags, and more—to another iShortn account in one smooth operation.
You can now transfer all your personal workspace resources to any other iShortn user. The transfer process is secure, requiring the recipient to explicitly accept the transfer before anything moves.
The entire process is designed to be safe and reversible until the final acceptance.
If the recipient already has folders or tags with the same names as yours, we merge them intelligently:
No duplicates, no conflicts. Everything ends up organized.
Before a transfer can proceed, we verify the recipient's account can accommodate all resources. If accepting the transfer would exceed their plan limits (links, domains, folders), the transfer is blocked with a clear explanation of what's over the limit.
Resource transfer is available to all users. Find it in Settings under the Transfer section. You can only transfer resources from your personal workspace—team resources stay with their teams.
Redirect or block visitors based on their country or continent
Your links can now make smarter decisions. With geotargeting, you can automatically redirect visitors to different destinations—or block access entirely—based on where they're located.
When you create or edit a link, you'll find a new "Geotargeting Rules" section. Here you can set up rules that determine what happens when someone clicks your link based on their geographic location.
For each rule, you can choose one of two actions:
Rules support two conditions:
Send US visitors to your US pricing page and EU visitors to your EU pricing page:
US → Redirect to yoursite.com/us/pricingEurope → Redirect to yoursite.com/eu/pricingBlock access from specific regions due to licensing or compliance:
CN, RU, IR → Block with message "This content is not available in your region"Direct visitors to language-specific content:
DE, AT, CH → Redirect to German landing pageFR, BE, CA → Redirect to French landing pageES, MX, AR → Redirect to Spanish landing pageRules are evaluated in order from top to bottom. The first matching rule wins. If no rules match, visitors are sent to the default destination URL.
Track how your geo rules perform directly in your link analytics. You'll see:
Switch to the "Geo" view in your analytics chart to see a visual breakdown of how traffic is being routed.
Geotargeting is available on paid plans with the following limits:
Geotargeting is available to Pro and Ultra subscribers. Start targeting your audience by location when creating a new link or editing an existing one.
Keep your short URL visible in the browser while displaying destination content
Your short links just got more powerful. With link cloaking, the destination website appears while your branded short URL stays in the browser's address bar—giving you complete control over how your links look when clicked.
When you create or edit a link, you'll find a new "Link Cloaking" toggle. Enable it, and visitors will see your short URL (like go.yourbrand.com/promo) in their browser even while viewing the destination content.
Without cloaking:
go.yourbrand.com/promowww.landing-page.com/campaign/summer-2026With cloaking:
go.yourbrand.com/promogo.yourbrand.com/promo while displaying your landing pageStandard redirects expose your destination URL, which can look unprofessional or dilute your branding. Link cloaking solves this:
When someone clicks a cloaked link, instead of redirecting them to the destination, we display the destination content within a seamless full-screen frame. The short URL remains in the address bar while the visitor interacts with the destination page normally.
Social media crawlers still see your custom metadata (if configured), so link previews work exactly as expected.
Not all websites can be cloaked. Some sites have security policies that prevent them from being displayed within frames. When you enable cloaking, we automatically check if your destination URL is compatible:
Common sites that block framing include banking sites, Google properties, and some social media platforms. If you see a compatibility warning, consider using standard redirects instead.
Want to add cloaking to your existing links? Open the edit drawer for any link and toggle on "Link Cloaking." The change takes effect immediately—no need to create new links.
Link cloaking is available exclusively on the Ultra plan. Enable it when creating a new link or by editing any existing link in your dashboard.
Upload custom images and set your own title and description for link previews
Take control of how your links appear when shared on social media. You can now upload custom images and set your own titles and descriptions—making every link share look exactly how you want it.
When you create or edit a link, you'll find a new "Custom Social Media Previews" section. This lets you override the default metadata that social platforms like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp display when someone shares your link.
The new image uploader makes it easy to add custom preview images:
Supported formats include PNG, JPG, GIF, and WebP. Images are stored securely and served from our CDN for fast loading on all platforms.
When you share a short link without custom metadata, social platforms typically show the destination page's preview—which might not represent your brand or campaign. With custom previews, you control the narrative:
When a social media crawler (like Twitter's or Facebook's) visits your short link, we serve your custom metadata instead of redirecting. The crawler sees your custom title, description, and image—then displays that preview when someone shares the link.
Regular users still get redirected instantly to the destination URL. The custom metadata only affects how the link appears in previews.
Already have links you want to update? Open the edit drawer for any link and you'll find the same "Custom Social Media Previews" section. Update the metadata anytime—changes take effect immediately.
Custom social media previews are available to Pro and Ultra subscribers. Start customizing your link previews when creating a new link or editing an existing one.
Add the same custom domain to multiple workspaces for flexible branding
Custom domains are now more flexible. You can add the same domain to your personal workspace and your team workspaces simultaneously—no more conflicts or workarounds needed.
Previously, each custom domain could only belong to one workspace. If you added links.yourcompany.com to your personal workspace, you couldn't use it in a team workspace (or vice versa). This was frustrating if you wanted to use the same branded domain across multiple projects.
Now, domains work independently per workspace. Add your domain wherever you need it.
When you add a custom domain that's already registered in another workspace:
Say you own go.acme.com and want to use it for:
Now you can add go.acme.com to all three workspaces. Each workspace manages its own links independently.
Link aliases remain globally unique per domain. If your Marketing team creates go.acme.com/sale, no other workspace can use that same alias on that domain. This prevents redirect conflicts and ensures every short link works reliably.
When creating links, you'll see an error if the alias is already taken—even if it was created in a different workspace.
When you remove a domain from a workspace, only that workspace loses access. Other workspaces using the same domain continue working normally. The domain is only fully removed from the system when the last workspace removes it.
Domain sharing is available to all users with custom domain access. In team workspaces, only the team owner can add or remove custom domains—team members and admins can use existing domains but cannot add new ones. Manage your domains at /dashboard/domains.
Create stunning, on-brand QR codes with pixel styles, effects, and reusable presets
QR codes just got a major upgrade. You can now customize every aspect of your QR code's appearance—from pixel shapes and marker styles to visual effects and color schemes. Plus, save your favorite styles as presets for instant reuse.
The QR code creation page now includes a powerful styling panel with three main sections:
Control the fundamental look of your QR code with these options:
Make your QR codes match your brand:
Add distinctive touches to make your QR codes stand out:
Save time by storing your favorite configurations:
Presets save all styling options: pixel style, marker shapes, colors, effects, and margin noise settings. They're perfect for maintaining brand consistency across multiple QR codes or quickly switching between campaign styles.
Every change you make updates the QR code preview in real-time. What you see is exactly what you'll get when you generate the final code.
Advanced QR code styling is available to all users. Create your next QR code at /dashboard/qrcodes/create.
Control which team members can access specific folders and their links
Team owners and admins can now restrict folder access to specific team members. When a folder is restricted, only permitted members can see the folder and its links on the dashboard.
By default, all folders are accessible to every team member. You can restrict access to specific members using the new folder settings:
When you restrict a folder:
Only team owners and admins can configure folder permissions. They also always have access to all folders, regardless of restrictions.
Owners and admins will see a "Restricted" badge on folders that have access limitations. This helps quickly identify which folders have custom permissions configured.
Links that aren't in any folder remain visible to all team members. Only links inside restricted folders are hidden from non-permitted members.
Folder permissions are available to all team workspaces. If you're using a personal workspace, you won't see the folder settings option since there are no team members to restrict.
Configure folder access from the folders page at /dashboard/folders.
Collaborate with your team on a shared workspace
Team workspaces are here. Ultra plan users can now create teams, invite members, and manage shared links, folders, and domains—all in one place.
A team workspace is a separate environment where multiple users can collaborate on the same set of links, folders, QR codes, and custom domains. Each team gets its own subdomain (e.g., your-team.ishortn.ink) and operates independently from your personal workspace.
If you're on the Ultra plan, you can create a team from the workspace switcher in the sidebar:
Your team workspace is ready to use immediately after creation.
The workspace switcher in the sidebar lets you move between your personal workspace and any teams you belong to. Each workspace has its own:
Resources in one workspace are completely separate from another.
Every team member has a role that determines what they can do:
Team owners and admins can invite new members:
Invites expire after 7 days. You can resend or revoke pending invites at any time.
Team workspaces are available exclusively to Ultra plan subscribers. If you're on a Free or Pro plan, upgrade to Ultra to unlock team collaboration.
Manage your team at /dashboard/teams/settings once you've created one.
Track your marketing campaigns with built-in UTM parameter support
We're excited to introduce UTM parameter support, making it easier than ever to track the performance of your marketing campaigns directly within iShortn.
UTM parameters are tags you add to URLs to track where your traffic comes from. When someone clicks a link with UTM parameters, those tags are sent to your analytics platform, helping you understand which campaigns, sources, and content drive the most engagement.
You can now add UTM parameters directly when creating or editing any link:
google, newsletter, twitter)cpc, email, social)spring_sale, product_launch)When you shorten a link with UTM parameters, they're automatically appended to your destination URL when visitors click through.
With UTM parameters built directly into iShortn, you no longer need to manually construct tracking URLs or use separate UTM builders. Everything is integrated into your link management workflow, making campaign tracking seamless and error-free.
Combined with our existing analytics, you'll have a complete picture of how your shortened links perform across different marketing channels.
We've also added UTM Templates to supercharge your workflow:
Manage your templates at /dashboard/utm-templates. Create templates for your most common campaigns like email newsletters, social media posts, or paid advertising, and apply them with a single click.
