To shorten a link for an email, you can use any URL shortening service available online. Here's a step-by-step process:
- Copy the full link that you want to shorten.
For example, let's say you have a long URL like: https://www.example.com/this/is/a/very/long/link
- Open a URL shortening service in your web browser. There are several popular ones available such as Bitly (https://bitly.com), TinyURL (https://tinyurl.com), or Google URL Shortener (https://developers.google.com/url-shortener).
- Paste the long link into the provided field or box on the URL shortening service's website.
- Click on the "Shorten" or "Create Short Link" button.
- The service will generate a shortened link, typically starting with a domain from the service provider followed by some random characters. For example, you might receive a shortened link like: https://bit.ly/abc123
- Copy the shortened link provided by the URL shortening service.
- Now, you can paste the shortened link into your email. Recipients can click on this shortened link to reach the same destination as the original long link.
Note: URL shortening services also often provide additional features like tracking clicks or customizing the shortened link.
