How to Share Long Website Links on Facebook

Long addresses can look cluttered in social posts and messages. A short link can make the visible address easier to read and copy.

Why shorten a Facebook link?

A concise URL can be useful when sharing an article, store page, event page or campaign. It is especially convenient in mobile conversations.

How to create a short Facebook link

Copy the complete destination URL, open Shrtigo, paste it into the main URL field and generate a short link. You can optionally choose a custom alias or add preview media.

Where can you share it?

Use a short link in appropriate Facebook posts, messages, pages and other places where links are allowed. Always follow the platform's current rules.

Best practices

Use a truthful alias, check the destination, avoid excessive link repetition, and provide useful context around the link. A short URL should improve readability rather than hide where a visitor will go.
