From Bitly To You…

The Gift of Brand Identity—Custom Bitly QR Codes

Users on the Core plan and above have the ability to add a custom logo, colors, and more to QR Codes. Use this function to customize your next QR Code and stand out this holiday season with a QR Code that’s as unique as your brand.

Now when you create a new link, simply hit a toggle to also generate a QR Code or to directly add that link to your Bitly Link-in-bio. But wait, there’s more: You can now see your link and custom back-half link limits for the month. Thank you to the Bitly Connections Platform for being a single unified platform and granting link wishes.

The Gift of Protection—Your Account All Tucked-In and Safe

Ever worry that someone might be trying to get into your account? Put those headaches to rest with our Trust & Safety Team as your partner. Any Bitly account log in from a new device or browser will trigger an email alert to the account owner.
