Shorten links
right in Chrome
No more copying an address, opening a site, pasting and copying back. One click on the toolbar or in the right-click menu, and the short link is on your clipboard.

Signing in is optional. Do it if you want to see clicks.
Add to ChromeThree ways
Shorten without leaving the page
Toolbar button
Click the icon: the address of the open tab is already in the box. One more click, and you have the short link.
Right-click a page
Choose the extension in the menu. The page is shortened and the link is copied right away.
Right-click a link or text
Works on a link on the page or on an address you selected as text. No need to open it first.
QR code next to the link
Every short link comes with a QR code in the same window, and you can download it. Handy for opening a page from your laptop on your phone or putting it on a slide. Without the extension, make a QR code for a link on qr.lnk.ua.

| Context menu | To add the shorten item to the right-click menu |
| Clipboard | To copy the short link |
| Storage | To keep your sign-in and pass a link from the menu to the extension window |
| Access to lnk.ua | To create links. On lnk.ua it also leaves a mark so the site doesn’t offer you the extension again |
