What it3 is

it3 is a free web toolkit combining URL shortening, click analytics, QR codes, file transfer, and browser-based productivity and developer tools. Its homepage shortener supports custom aliases, expiry dates, and click caps. Guest links expire after five days; a free account keeps links longer and opens the analytics dashboard. Account-managed links report click totals, time, country-level location from CDN country codes, device, and referrer, with location data not based on GPS. The QR generator creates destination codes and high-resolution PNG downloads that can pair with short-link tracking. A UTM builder creates source, medium, and campaign parameters using standard Google Analytics keys without login. The directory lists 80 tools across utility, SEO, communication, developer, PDF, image, marketing, and finance categories, most without an account. Free file transfers allow up to 20 files or 4 GB per transfer, with 10 transfers and 4 GB per sender every 30 days; files are deleted after 48 hours. Most browser tools run locally unless stated otherwise, while redirects and analytics run on it3 servers.
