Lenkli is a complete link management platform that combines URL shortening, dynamic QR codes, bio pages, and real-time analytics in one tool, made in France and GDPR-compliant.
What is Lenkli?
Lenkli is a web-based platform that takes long URLs as input and produces short links, dynamic QR codes, and customizable bio pages as output. It is built and hosted in Europe, masking EU visitor IPs for GDPR compliance. The platform is designed and maintained by Lenkli, a French company.
