Features

Link management superpowers for mere mortals

Beyond shortening, Zebra supports the entire lifecycle of link management. But designed to be usable by people who never contemplated the words “lifecycle of link management”.

Compliance

Privacy-first

Zebra was to built to protect end-user privacy without compromising the power of live analytics. We are careful not to collect personally identifiable information, and mask location data attached to incoming data until a point of safe disclosure, preserving audience privacy.

Link Lifecycle

Publish the link before the page exists

A link can carry an activation time and an expiry, set in the timezone you work in. Before it goes live a visitor sees a countdown page instead of an error, and once it expires the link sends them to a fallback destination instead of a dead page.

Efficiency at scale

Painless UTM Editing

We set out to make one of the best experiences available for what can feel like a genuinely tedious task – adding or editing UTM parameters. The same UI, with easy access to shared templates and a running changelog, works on a single link just as well as it does across a campaign with hundreds of links.

Big picture trends

Campaigns on auto-pilot

Collections group links into a single, aggregated view of their performance over time. Smart collections remove a step, so you can build a rule-based campaign and let it run without needing to manually add or remove links – based on any query imaginable.

Insights with evidence

Powerful and real-time

Zebra’s powerful analytics engine gives you real-time insights without compromising speed or privacy. Watch traffic respond to events in real-time, or replay it later at 20x for a condensed historical view.

Engagement

One-click public sharing

Analytics from any link or collection can be shared with anyone at any scale with just a click. Share the entire history, a rolling window or any custom range. It's a great way to share data with a client or partner without requiring them to create an account or sign in.

Why Zebra?

Fast, private, and powerfully simple

Fast. Really fast.

Zebra's redirect was built on the latest edge architecture from Cloudflare, and was tuned at every layer for speed. And then re-tuned, and then tuned some more.

The result is a lightning-fast median redirect in the low single-digit milliseconds across key regions, with a p95 consistently under 50ms.

Private by design

Built and hosted in the EU, European values around privacy are part of our DNA. The belief that your data belongs to you, and your audience’s data belongs to them is a core principle behind every feature we build.

Easy to learn, hard to outgrow

Built to make humans (not PhDs in funnel optimization) feel at home, we put powerful tools where you need them and nowhere that you don’t. A clean, intuitive, interface makes complex tasks feel simple.

Agents feel at home too, thanks to a fully featured MCP server and a well-documented public API.

Integrations

No browser required

Automation is a first-class part of Zebra's platform, so you can create links, manage collections, or fetch analytics from any tool or development environment. Our core operations are shared across the application dashboard, API, CLI and MCP server — keeping behaviors and data shapes identical and drift-free.

Agentic fluency

API commands output structured JSON with the addition of a simple --json flag, so agents know how to get data returned in a format they already know and prefer.

Pipeline ready

Our CLI ships as a single, dependency-free binary you can pipe, script, or run from cron. Real exit codes and clean stdout slot it into any workflow. Explore Zeb on GitHub.

Many surfaces, one core

Our web dashboard, CLI, REST API and MCP server call on the exact same heavily optimized core library for operations. This means reliable, identical results with zero drift across surfaces.

Built to bulk

Batch operations are a first-class citizen in Zebra. Create dozens or hundreds of links and QR codes in a single call, no loops required. Even pretty shortcodes can be created in bulk.
