# SHORTCLIX

> SHORTCLIX is a URL shortener and QR code generator with built-in click and scan tracking, operated by rematic media GmbH in Vienna, Austria. SHORTCLIX turns long URLs into short links under shortclix.com or the shorter clx.bz, generates a print-ready SVG QR code for every link (free on all plans, including the free one), and tracks every click and scan — including mailto:, tel: and outbound links that classic web analytics cannot see. SHORTCLIX sends automatic weekly or monthly statistics by email, provides a full analytics dashboard with PDF, Excel and CSV export, a REST API, and an MCP server that connects to AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT. All data is anonymized, cookieless and GDPR-compliant, hosted in Germany within the EU, so no additional cookie banner is required. SHORTCLIX offers a free-forever plan plus the paid Basic and Pro plans, and is aimed at companies, agencies and influencers who want to measure which online and offline marketing actually works.
