What is krzz.de?

krzz.de is a tool to make URLs shorter. By entering a long URL, a new, shortened URL will be generated. When this shortened URL is opened in a browser, it will redirect to the original, long URL.

Why another URL shortener?

I created krzz.de for the following reasons:

1. to create a technology demo for MeToo.pm, a nano web application framework for Perl.
2. to gain experience with the development and maintenance of real "live" web services.
3. to test how far I can bring this service while only hosting it on the shared webhosting servers of webhosting provider.

krzz.de is powered by gnzkrz, which is open source software and licensed under the MIT/X Consortium License.

Your service links to illegal/indecent content.

Please send an email to admin@krzz.de so that I can disable abuse links as soon as possible.

Does your service provide an API to automate URL shortening?

Yes. Just make GET requests on
