Share shorter links. Know what gets clicked.
Lox turns long URLs into short links and QR codes, puts them on a link-in-bio page, and shows you which sites send your clicks.
Free, no account needed. Every link is checked for phishing and malware first.

Control a link after you've shared it.
The same settings work on every link in your account, from a one-off share to a printed campaign.
How short links work- Custom alias
- lox.li/s/spring-sale instead of random characters. Availability is checked as you type.
- QR code
- Download a PNG in three sizes, in your own colors. It points at the short link, so you can change the destination after printing.
- Password
- Visitors enter a password before they are redirected.
- Expiry date
- Stop a link on a set date, or send late visitors to a fallback page.
- Schedule
- Only redirect on chosen weekdays and hours, such as weekdays from 9 to 5 (UTC).
- UTM tags
- Add campaign parameters by hand or from a saved template.
- Health checks
- Lox checks your destinations daily and emails you when one breaks.
- Folders and tags
- Group links by client, campaign or channel, and filter by them.
One page for everything you link to.
Your bio page lives at lox.li/@yourname. Add sections of links and social icons, choose a preset, palette, fonts and button style, and preview it on phone, tablet and desktop before you publish.
Every button on the page is a short link, so its clicks show up in your analytics with the rest.

See where your clicks come from.
Each link has its own report: total clicks, referrers, devices, browsers, operating systems and a click-by-click history. Your account view ranks every link and bio page by clicks for any date range.
Export clicks to CSV whenever you need them in a spreadsheet.
Every link is checked before it goes live.
Short links are a favorite tool for phishing, which is why some platforms distrust them. Lox screens every new link, so the links you share point where they say they do.
-
Known threats
Destinations are checked against Google Safe Browsing and five public phishing and malware blocklists, updated daily.
-
Hidden redirects
Lox follows the redirect chain and checks every hop, not only the first address.
-
Lookalike domains

Human review
