How Do I Shorten a URL on Wix?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:58 am

If you want to share a Wix site or specific page on social media or via email, you may want to use a shortened URL. Wix automatically generates a long, unique URL for every site and page, but these can be difficult to share, especially on platforms with character limits like Twitter.

Fortunately, Wix also offers the option to create shorter URLs for your site through the Wix Editor. In this article, we’ll show you how to create a shortened URL for your Wix site or page.

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

First, open the Wix Editor and navigate to the page or site that you want to share. Then, click on the “Share & Embed” tab in the left-hand menu.

In the Share & Embed tab, you’ll see two options for sharing your site or page – “Get a link” and “Embed.” Click on the “Get a link” option.

PRO TIP: If you are planning on shortening a URL on Wix, be aware that there are certain risks involved. First and foremost, shortened URLs can be difficult to remember, and if you forget the URL, you may not be able to access the site. Additionally, shortened URLs can be used to disguise malicious sites, so it is important to be cautious when clicking on them.

A pop-up window will appear with the long, unique URL for your site or page. To create a shortened URL, click on the “Copy link” button.

Next, open a new browser tab and go to the Wix URL Shortener (http://wix.to). Paste your long URL into the “Enter your long URL here” field and click on the “Shorten” button.

Your shortened URL will appear in the “Your short Wix URL is:” field. Copy this URL and share it on social media or via email as desired!
