Browser Extensions

The Linked.is browser extension shortens the page you're on right from your browser toolbar, the right-click menu or a keyboard shortcut. It's available for Chrome (and other Chromium-based browsers) and Firefox, and works the same in both.

Available Extensions

Features

• Shorten the current page — Open the extension and the address of the tab you're on is already filled in
• Custom slugs — Pick your own ending for the link (3–50 letters, numbers or hyphens), or leave it empty for a random one
• Title — When signed in, the page title is filled in as the link title; you can change it
• Copy and QR code — Copy the short link with one click, or open a QR code for it and download it as a PNG
• Right-click menu — Right-click a page or a link and choose Shorten with linked.is
• Keyboard shortcut — Press Ctrl+Shift+L (Cmd+Shift+L on macOS) to shorten the page you're on
• Add to Bio — When signed in, add the current page as a link on one of your bio pages
• Works without an account — Shorten links without signing in; sign in to keep them in your account
• Tools — Add UTM tags to the page you're on, share it with a WhatsApp link, show its QR code, and on a YouTube video get the thumbnail or a link that starts at the current moment. The other linked.is tools open on the website in your language
• 31 languages — English, Spanish, German, French, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Chinese, Korean and 22 more, with right-to-left layout for Arabic, Hebrew and Persian
• Light and dark mode — Follows your system by default

Signed In vs. Without an Account

Links you shorten without signing in are not added to your account later, so sign in first if you want to manage or track them.

How Sign-In Works

The extension uses your linked.is session in the same browser. There is no separate password or code to enter in the extension:

1. Click the extension icon, then Sign in
2. A linked.is tab opens. If you're already signed in to linked.is, it confirms right away; otherwise sign in or create an account
3. The tab closes on its own and the extension popup opens again, now signed in

To sign out or switch accounts, sign out of linked.is in the same browser (or sign in with the other account there). The extension follows your linked.is session.

Settings

Click the gear icon in the extension popup to open the settings:

• Language — Choose the extension's language. By default it follows your browser's language, or English if that language isn't available.
• Keyboard Shortcut — Shows the current shortcut. Change opens your browser's extension shortcut settings.
• Appearance — Turn Dark Mode on or off. Until you change it, the extension follows your system's light or dark setting.

When signed in, the arrow icon next to the gear opens your dashboard.

Requirements

• A supported browser (see the individual extension pages)
• A free linked.is account for saving links to your account and Add to Bio (optional for shortening)

Privacy & Permissions

The extension asks for these permissions:

The extension does not read your browsing history and runs nothing on the pages you visit. A page's address is sent to linked.is only when you shorten it or add it to your bio. There are no ads and no tracking.
