One short link.Change what happens next.
Create an editable short link and QR code for anything you share, publish, or print.
No account needed for a quick link. Sign up to edit, schedule, pause, and manage it later.
Every link is automatically screened. If you ever land on a warning page instead of your destination, that's this protection working, not a broken link. Learn more .
/ HOW IT WORKS
Create it once.
Keep control afterward.
Your short link stays the same while you decide where it leads and when it is available.
- 01 / CREATE
Create your link
Add a destination and get a short link with a downloadable QR code.
- 02 / PUBLISH
Share or print it
Use it in messages, campaigns, signs, menus, or printed material.
- 03 / REDIRECT
Change what happens next
Edit the destination, schedule availability, pause the link, or set an expiry.
Why editable matters
The link stays. The destination changes.
Print one QR code or publish one short link. When plans change, update its destination from your dashboard instead of replacing everything you already shared.
- No reprinting
- No new QR code
- No replacing shared links
l.cutdown.link/event
Yesterday Event registration
Today Event livestream
Tomorrow Event recording
Same short link. Same QR code. New destination.
/ THE CUTDOWN
Countdown before.
Cut down after.
Set when a link starts and when it ends. Before launch, visitors see a live countdown. When the time comes, the link redirects automatically. After its cutdown date, it closes cleanly.
That full link lifecycle is why we are called cutdown.link.
BEFORE
Countdown
A live start page keeps visitors informed.
LIVE
Redirect
The link sends visitors to its destination.
AFTER
Cut down
An expiry page replaces the redirect.

Questions
What to know before you create
What is an editable short link?
It is a short link whose destination can be changed from your dashboard. The short URL stays the same, so links you already shared continue to work.
Does the QR code change when I edit the destination?
No. The QR code contains your cutdown.link short URL. When you change that link's destination, the existing QR code automatically leads to the new destination.
Is cutdown.link free?
Yes. Quick links, accounts, editable destinations, scheduling, QR-code downloads, and current click tracking are available without charge.
Do I need an account?
Not for a quick link. You need a free account if you want to change destinations later, schedule or pause links, set expiry dates, and manage links from a dashboard.
What happens before a scheduled link starts?
Visitors see a live countdown page. When the scheduled time arrives, the page automatically continues through the short link to its destination.
What happens after a link expires?
The link stops redirecting to its destination and visitors see a page explaining that the link has expired.
