Short links and QR codes that never expire
Print a QR code once and keep it working. Dozokit Links runs in your own account at Cloudflare, a company that runs websites, so no one can switch your codes off or ask you to pay to keep them alive. You can change where a code leads at any time, and see how often it is scanned.
Install it yourself
It takes about five minutes. You need a Cloudflare account and a GitHub account, both free. The button sets everything up in your account and asks you to choose the password that will protect your links.
Source code on GitHub. Open source, under the AGPL-3.0 licence.

- Codes that keep working
- The codes point to your own address, not to a company that could close, change its prices or cut off free codes.
- Change the destination later
- Printed the code already? Change where it leads in the admin page. Printed codes follow within a minute.
- Counts, without tracking people
- Every scan and click is counted per day. Nothing about the person is kept. Connect it to Dozokit Analytics to see them next to your website visits.
Good to know
- On Cloudflare’s free plan you get about 90,000 scans and clicks a day.
- A link’s name can use lowercase letters, digits, - and _. Only web addresses (http or https) can be the destination.
- Deleting a link deletes its counts, and its codes then show “This link doesn’t exist”.
- A code holds the address it was made with. To use your own address (go.yourdomain.com), add it before you print.
FAQ
Do QR codes from Dozokit Links expire?
No. They point to your own address in your own Cloudflare account, so they work as long as that account does. Nobody can switch them off for a missed payment.
Can I change where a QR code leads after printing it?
Yes. Open the admin page, choose the link, change the address and save. Printed codes follow the new address within a minute.
Is it really free?
Dozokit Links is free and open source. The Cloudflare account that runs it has a free plan that covers about 90,000 scans and clicks a day.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The step-by-step guide is written for someone who has never done this, and one button does the installation.
