cutdown.link

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.

  1. 01 / CREATE

    Create your link

    Add a destination and get a short link with a downloadable QR code.

  2. 02 / PUBLISH

    Share or print it

    Use it in messages, campaigns, signs, menus, or printed material.

  3. 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
llk.ad/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.

  1. BEFORE

    Countdown

    A live start page keeps visitors informed.

  2. LIVE

    Redirect

    The link sends visitors to its destination.

  3. AFTER

    Cut down

    An expiry page replaces the redirect.

Questions

What to know before you create

What is llk.ad?

llk.ad is our new, shorter domain for every link you create now. It gives you cleaner URLs that are easier to share and type. Existing l.cutdown.link URLs continue to work exactly as before.

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 llk.ad short URL. When you change that link's destination, the existing QR code automatically leads to the new destination.

Can I add my logo to a QR code?

Yes. QR codes include the cutdown.link mark by default, or you can add your own PNG, JPEG, or WebP logo and download the result as JPEG or SVG. Your logo is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to or stored on our server.

Is cutdown.link free?

Quick links, QR codes, and a free account with a stats dashboard are free forever. Editing destinations, scheduling, pausing, downloadable QR codes, and UTM management are part of Pro ($99/year) - free for your first year. See the full breakdown on the pricing page.

Do I need an account?

Not for a quick link. A free account adds a dashboard with aggregate click counts. To change destinations later, schedule or pause links, or set expiry dates, you need Pro.

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.
