DexURL product documentation

Setup steps, link rules, QR output, custom domains, Vault behaviour, and exactly what DexURL stores.

Getting Started

Quick Start Guide — Create your first short link, download its QR code, then layer on expiry, protection rules, or a custom domain as you need them.
What's New — DexURL is out of beta and generally available. What changed on 3 October 2026: yearly Pro, click limits on every plan, clearer billing, and stronger safety.
Slug Model — How DexURL builds short link slugs: a generated suffix keeps every link unique, and Pro adds readable prefixes without a land grab over names.
Custom Domains — Connect one verified hostname on Pro so short links carry your brand instead of dexurl.net. DNS records, verification, and HTTPS, step by step.
Plans & Limits — What the Free plan includes, what Pro adds for $9 a month, and how the 7-day trial, monthly or yearly billing, and cancellation actually work.

Conditional Targets — Live today: expiry and click limits on every plan, plus Pro password gates, one-time access, availability windows, and routing by device, country, or language.
QR & Boards — Download any short link as a high-resolution PNG, SVG, or PDF QR code, style it to match your brand, and point one printed code at several destinations on Pro.
Bio & Link Pages — Publish a public @handle page gathering your socials, media blocks, and links behind one short URL. Free includes one page; Pro removes the branding.
Analytics — Every plan sees click totals per link. Pro adds device, country, and referrer breakdowns, trends over time, and CSV export. QR scans count as clicks.
Bookmark Import — Drop in a bookmark export from any major browser, get a free clean-up report, and review everything before anything is saved.
Browser Extension — Save pages to your Vault, copy a clean link, and make a short link or QR code from the toolbar or a right-click in Chrome and other Chromium browsers.

Vault Privacy — The vault stores URL bookmarks for your signed-in workspace. Titles, URLs, folders, tags, and pin state are account-backed.
Reporting Abuse — How to report a harmful DexURL link, what happens to that report afterwards, and how to appeal an enforcement action taken on a link you own.
What we log — DexURL is privacy-friendly, not anonymous. Exactly what is stored — account identity, the links and bookmarks you create, limited redirect metrics — and why.
Account Deletion — Delete your account from Settings → Delete account. What is removed, what happens to live links and subscriptions, and what registering again means.
