How to Shorten Links Being Shared as the Media of a Post



If you're sharing a link in the "Media" portion of a post, you can have our system shorten the link in 2 quick steps! There's 2 options to accomplish this. 

NOTE: This should not be done for Pinterest posts including links. Pinterest does not allow shortened links. 

1. You can change the cover image of the link to shorten it. First add the link in the "Share URL" option in the Media tab. It will look something like this:

Then click on the image where it says "Replace Image", and it will allow you to add your own image there. If you just want to shorten the link, you can reupload the same image there and accomplish the same goal.
