Fix a typo, swap a landing page or end a promotion, while the short link and its QR code stay the same. These controls come with accounts, now in early access.
Early access. Join the list to hear when accounts open.
How it will work
Links you create with your account belong to you. That ownership is what makes them editable.
Open a link to change its destination, give it an expiry date or cap its number of clicks.
The short link, its QR code and every post that shares it stay as they are. A new destination applies from the next click.
Why it helps
All of this comes with accounts, in early access. Editing destinations is part of the free account; expiry dates and click limits come with Pro.
Point a link to a new page without changing the short link. Fix a typo, or move a campaign to its next landing page.
Give a link an end date, for a sale that ends on Sunday or a registration form that closes at midnight.
Cap how many clicks a link accepts, like zou.sh/workshop for a class with a fixed number of seats.
See the links you created with your account together, instead of digging through old chats and spreadsheets.
A QR code holds the short link, not the destination. Edit the link, and the code on your posters leads to the new page.
Team adds shared workspaces, roles and permissions, and an audit log for the people who manage your links.
Why accounts
A link made without an account stores only its destination, its code, its creation time and how it was made. Nothing ties it to a person, so no one can claim it, and no one can repoint it.
Plans
Editing destinations comes with a free account. Expiry dates and click limits come with Pro, and Team adds shared workspaces. All of them are in early access.

FAQ
Yes, with an account, which is in early access. Links created without an account can’t be edited: they always point to the URL you shortened.
Because nothing ties the link to you: we store no account and no IP address with it. Since nobody can prove a link is theirs, nobody can repoint it, which also keeps it from being hijacked.
Yes. Links created without an account never expire and keep pointing to the URL you shortened.
Nothing changes on paper. The code holds the short link, so once you edit its destination with an account, every new scan goes to the new page.

Help
Can I change where a link points?Not yet. Changing a link's destination is an account feature, in early access. Links created without an account can't be edited, but you can replace them.
Help
Do short links expire?No. zou.sh links never expire unless an owner sets an expiry, which requires an account (early access). Links can be disabled for abuse.
