AT USE's link tools handle two practical needs: shortening long URLs into compact links and creating scannable codes that connect physical materials to digital destinations.
URL Shortener
The URL shortener converts any long URL — tracking links, deep-linked product pages, document URLs with query strings — into a compact short link on the at-use.com domain. Short links are useful when sharing via text message, fitting a link into a presentation slide, printing on a business card, or anywhere the full URL is unwieldy or breaks across a line.
Short links on AT USE are permanent. No expiry. No account to keep active. No click cap. The redirect uses HTTP 301 (permanent), which means search engines pass link equity through to the destination — using a short link where others link to it does not dilute the SEO value of those inbound links.
QR Code Generator
The QR code generator produces scannable QR codes for four content types: URLs, plain text, WiFi network credentials, and vCards (digital contact data). Download as PNG for digital use or SVG for print materials that need to scale without quality loss.
URL — link a printed flyer, product packaging, or business card to a specific page. Text — encode a short message, confirmation code, or reference number a phone reads instantly. WiFi — let visitors scan to join a network without reading out the password. vCard — encode contact details so a phone adds them to its address book with one scan.
Barcode Generator
The barcode generator creates 1D barcodes in four formats: Code 128 for general logistics and inventory, EAN-13 for retail products sold globally, UPC-A for North American retail, and Code 39 for industrial and government use. Download as SVG or PNG.
Combining the tools
For print materials, combine the URL shortener and QR generator: shorten the URL first, then generate the QR code from the short link. A shorter URL encodes into a less dense QR pattern, which scans faster and more reliably in poor lighting or on low-resolution print. It also means you can update the destination URL later without reprinting — the short link stays the same.
