Using our extension gives you the ability to shrink a typical URL. By this you are able to share, paste on your blog to make it look nicer or to keep track of hits.

We offer tons of features, such as the "Paste current tab URL" feature, which as the name says, it will paste the current TAB URL, and all you'd have to do is shrink it!

That's not all, once you've shortened your URL, all you have to do is hover over the new URL and it will be copied to your clipboard.

Smurl.es extension also gives you the ability to login, this will make all your new shortened URLs save right into your account which you will be able to manage.

Smurl.es doesn't like "Page reloading", and we know you don't either! So smurl.es itself will process everything for you behind the scenes, you will receive your new URL literally in no time and will be able to use immediately!

That's pretty much all for the extension, I hope smurl.es has convinced you to download and try our extension!
