Learn the instructions below on how to use the Short.io extension for Edge.

Short.io Extension Features

1. Log in without redirects.

Before using the Edge extension, you need to log into your Short.io account for data synchronization. The login process is based on a pop-up window without any additional web windows and redirects to the website.

2. Shorten links and edit a slug.

Once you've shortened a current web page, you can edit a slug. The most important point is that you can not only customize a slug, but also save, and copy a short URL with a user-friendly pop-up window.

3. Change a domain.

Now, you just need to open the "Options" tab and select the domain you want to shorten URLs with.

4. Take a screenshot.

Sharing screenshots with a short URL is a helpful solution for those who don't want to save and paste an image manually. Also, a preview of a made screenshot is provided, and you can customize a URL slug to make it clear for both you and the recipients.
