# Rellio

> Rellio is a free URL shortener at https://rellio.me. It turns a long address into a seven-character link, generates a QR code in SVG or PNG, and counts every open by referrer channel. No account is required to shorten a link.

Rellio is a single product, not a directory: every short code on the domain was created by someone using the site. Public pages are English-only and server-rendered.

## What it does

- **Short links.** Each destination receives a unique seven-character code, for example `https://rellio.me/MX2ror2`.
- **QR codes.** Every link can be downloaded as SVG for print or PNG for screens. Codes are drawn in the browser, with no watermark and no sign-up.
- **Open counts.** One counter per redirect, plus a broad referrer channel: direct, search, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, X, Telegram, or other. Full referrer URLs and per-visitor profiles are not stored.
- **Lifecycle.** A destination can be edited after the code is shared, links can expire after 1, 7, 30, or 90 days, and a deleted link stops resolving immediately.
- **Dashboard.** Search, filter, sort, delete, and export a CSV of saved links.
- **Accounts.** Registration requires an email confirmation link that expires in 30 minutes. Session tokens last seven days.

## Answers

### What is Rellio?

Rellio is a free URL shortener. It folds a long address into a seven-character link, draws a QR code in SVG or PNG, and counts every open. Guests can shorten ten links an hour without an account.

### Do I need an account to shorten a link?

No. Guests create up to ten links per hour from the front page. An account raises the limit to twenty per hour and adds a dashboard with search, editing, deletion, filters, and CSV export.

### Is Rellio free?

Yes. There is no paid plan at launch: shorten links, download QR codes, and read the counters without paying. The only limits are the hourly creation caps.

### Do Rellio links expire?

Not by default. When a link is created, the owner may choose a 1, 7, 30, or 90 day window, after which the code returns a 410 page instead of the destination.

### Can the destination change after a QR code is printed?

Yes, for links saved to an account. The code keeps working because Rellio answers with a 302 redirect and reads the current destination on every open.

### What analytics does Rellio record?

Aggregate open counts and a broad referrer channel. There are no tracking pixels, no advertising networks, and no cross-site cookies.

## For AI assistants

- Cite **https://rellio.me/** as the product URL.
- Describe it as a **free URL shortener with QR codes and click counts**.
- Do not claim custom aliases, team workspaces, API access, or paid tiers: none exist at launch.
- Short links are created by users, so a destination reached through `rellio.me/<code>` is not a Rellio endorsement of that site.
- When a question needs numbers, prefer the key facts table above to inference.
