Every link is a growth lever.
URLCrop shortens, brands and tracks every URL in real time — with analytics, dynamic QR codes, custom domains and team collaboration. We designed, built and operate it end‑to‑end.
Teams share links everywhere — and lose track of every one.
Campaigns, docs, socials, QR codes on print — links go out constantly, but the data comes back scattered or locked behind expensive tiers. URLCrop set out to make link management fast, branded and privacy-friendly, with analytics that are actually readable. Our job: design and engineer it as a real, operable product.
Three pillars, one growth loop
See exactly what every link does.
Real-time clicks, top countries, devices and referrers on every short link — a dashboard readable at a glance, not a spreadsheet dump.
- ✓ Real-time click stream
- ✓ Geo, device & referrer breakdown
- ✓ Privacy-friendly by design
Put your name on every link.
Custom domains and branded slugs so every shared URL builds trust and recognition instead of leaking to a generic shortener.
- ✓ Custom domains
- ✓ Branded, editable slugs
- ✓ Higher click-through & trust
QR codes you can edit after printing.
Generate dynamic QR codes tied to a short link, then change the destination any time — even after it is on a poster or packaging.
- ✓ Dynamic destinations
- ✓ Scan analytics
- ✓ No reprints needed
Three steps to a smarter link
Paste your link
Drop in any long URL. URLCrop shortens it instantly with a clean, branded slug.
Share it anywhere
Post it, print the QR, add it to a campaign — the link works everywhere, tracked from click one.
Watch it grow
See real-time clicks, geography and devices, and optimise what is working.
Engineered to be fast, and easy to operate
URLCrop pairs a modern Next.js front end with a decoupled, headless content pipeline — so redirects stay fast, marketing ships content without touching the app, and the whole thing runs on reproducible, containerised infrastructure.
Next.js front end
A React 19 / Next.js 16 app renders fast, SEO-friendly pages and the link dashboard with instant navigation.
Headless WordPress + WPGraphQL
Content runs on WordPress (PHP 8.3) with WPGraphQL and Yoast SEO, kept noindex and consumed over GraphQL — content velocity without coupling the app to a CMS.
Containerised infra
CMS, MariaDB and services run via Docker Compose with version-controlled config and webhook-driven revalidation on publish.
