Linken

Everything you need, nothing you don't

One tool for links, QR codes, and analytics

Most link tools make you pay for three products to get what should be one. Linken puts short links, QR codes, and click analytics in a single dashboard. Free to start.

QR Codes

Branded QR codes that get scanned

Generic black-and-white codes scream "afterthought." Create QR codes that match your brand and track every scan.

  • Custom colors, shapes, and logos

    Match your brand colors. Add your logo to the center. Choose dot and eye styles.

  • Print-ready PNG export SVG Coming Soon

    Download in high-resolution formats ready for flyers, menus, packaging, and business cards.

  • Dynamic or Static: you choose

    Dynamic QR codes let you change the destination after printing and track every scan. Static codes encode data permanently with no tracking, ideal for Wi-Fi or vCard.

  • 8 data types, not just URLs

    Generate QR codes for URLs, vCards, Wi-Fi credentials, email, phone, SMS, app store links, or plain text, all from one editor.

Not just URLs

8 types of QR codes, one generator

Most QR tools only do URLs. Linken generates QR codes for contacts, WiFi networks, emails, phone calls, and more, each with full tracking when you choose Dynamic mode.
