We updated Bitly's navigation menu in September, 2022!
If you're used to the old look, check out the changes.
You can add Bitly right to your browser's toolbar. Use our web browser extensions to quickly shorten the link for a page right as you're viewing it.
What are web browser extensions?
Extensions add features and tools to your browser, including integrations with other apps you use.
Why should I install the Bitly extension?
With the Bitly Chrome extension, you can shorten and brand the page you are currently viewing and share it to your social channels. You can do this right from the current page without having to log in to your Bitly account, create the link, and copy/paste it.
Who can set this up?
Anyone with the latest version of Chrome and a Bitly account.
How do I connect Chrome to Bitly?
Go to the Chrome Web Store, search for Bitly, then click Add to Chrome.
How do I use Bitly with Chrome?
When the extension is installed, a Bitly icon will appear in your browser's toolbar. Go to a page you'd like to shorten and share and click the Bitly icon.
Your Bitly panel will open and the shortened link will be ready for you to copy and share.
