# Shorten Any Link with 360 URL Shortener

> 360's built-in URL shortener lets you create short, shareable links instantly — no third-party service or account required.

360 Search includes a URL shortener so you can turn any long, unwieldy link into something clean and easy to share. You'll find it under **URL Shortener** in the navigation bar, or at [360-search.com/url-shortener](https://360-search.com/url-shortener).

## How to Shorten a Link

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the URL Shortener">
    Navigate to **URL Shortener** in the top navigation bar, or go to [360-search.com/url-shortener](https://360-search.com/url-shortener).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste your long URL">
    Click the input field and paste the URL you want to shorten. The field accepts any valid URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Shorten">
    Press the **Shorten** button. 360 will generate a short link immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy and share your short link">
    Click the **Copy** button next to your new short link to copy it to your clipboard. Then paste it anywhere — a message, a document, a post, or an email.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Short links are especially handy when you need to share a URL verbally, include it in printed material, or post it somewhere with a character limit.
