Short link

A short link is a brief URL that redirects to a longer destination, making it easier to print, share, and repoint.

A short link trades a long, ugly URL for a compact one on a domain you control, then redirects anyone who visits it to the real destination. Because the redirect sits in the middle, the short link can be repointed without anyone re-sharing it, the same property that makes dynamic QR codes editable.

A QR code and a short link are two interfaces to the same redirect: one you scan, one you tap. TangoQR encodes its short link on the tgo.sh domain into every code, so the URL the QR carries is also a clean link you can paste anywhere.
