Zee.gl is a free URL-shortening service that turns long web addresses into concise links, with no signup form or ads. Users can create unlimited short links on the free plan, choose custom aliases, and get a matching QR code for sharing on print materials or online. Each link includes click analytics, with information on visits, countries, and device types available in a dashboard. Optional tracking tools include UTM parameters and Google Tag Manager integration.

Zee.gl also provides controls for managing who can open a link and when. Link creators can add password protection, set an expiration date or click limit, and allow or block access by country or device type. Before redirecting, links can show a timed preview page with a custom title, description, and CSS, or send visitors straight to the destination. An API is available for creating short URLs programmatically. The service supports uses such as printed QR codes, limited-time offers, regional campaigns, app downloads, private sharing, and sponsored announcements.
