The link tool that stays out of your way
Za.gl started as a simple question: why do URL shorteners require sign-ups, sell your click data, and make you pay to do basic things? We built the answer.
One tool, three superpowers
URL Shortener
Turn any link into za.gl/anything. Custom aliases, password protection, expiry dates, wait timers, and QR codes included.
Pastebin
Share code, notes, or configs with syntax highlighting for 50+ languages. No account required.
Landing Pages
Build a full custom page with a rich text editor and host it on your short link. Great for bio links, campaigns, or quick micro-sites.

What makes Za.gl different
No VC pressure to monetize your clicks. No dark patterns. Just a sharp tool that works.
Password-protected links
Gate any link with a passphrase. Visitors type it on the preview page before they can continue.
QR codes, instantly
Every link ships with a downloadable QR code. No third-party generator needed.
Wait timers
Add a countdown before the redirect fires. Useful for ad-supported flows or deliberate pacing.
29 languages
The full UI is localized in 29 languages, from Arabic right-to-left to Sinhala. Not marketing copy, the actual product.
Privacy-first analytics
Click counts and country data, nothing else. We do not sell behavioral profiles or drop tracking pixels for ad networks.
Free at the core
Shortening, pastes, landing pages, and analytics are free. No credit card. No expiry on your links.
