How to Create a Share URL Post (and Shorten the Link)

Note:

Do not shorten links when posting to Pinterest.
Pinterest does not allow shortened links, and doing so may block your post.

What is a Share URL Post?

A Share URL Post lets you paste a link into the Media section of a post. We will then convert that link into a branded, shortened shaa.re link once you make one small change to the media or description.

Two Ways to Shorten the Link

Option 1: Replace the Cover Image

1. Paste your link into the "Share URL" field under the Media tab.
   It will generate a preview, including the title, image, and description.

   Example:

2. Click “Replace Image” over the generated preview.
   • Upload a new image OR
   • Re-upload the same image — this is enough to trigger the shortened link.

Option 2: Edit the Website Title or Description

1. After adding the link, click into the  website title or the description text area of the preview.
2. Make any edit — even a small one — to the description text.

Final Step: Save the Post

Once you save, our platform will automatically generate a shortened link — usually starting with shaa.re.

And that’s it! 
You’ve now successfully created a Share URL Post with a shortened link.
