The Flyn Chrome extension puts your shortener in the toolbar. Instead of copying a long URL, opening Flyn in a new tab, and pasting it in, you click one icon on the page you are already reading and get a short link back instantly. It is a published extension that signs in with your normal Flyn account, so every link you make lands in your dashboard, where its clicks are counted, and Pro users can put it on their own custom domain. A QR code is one click away for each link, ready to drop into a slide or print. It works on the Free plan.
How it works
Up and running in minutes
Install the extension
Add the Flyn extension from the Chrome Web Store. It pins to your toolbar so the shorten button is one click away on every tab, no separate app or setup file to manage.
Sign in with your Flyn account
Open the extension and sign in with Google or with the same email and password you already use on flyn.to. There are no API keys to generate or paste. Your plan and custom domains come with you automatically.
Click the icon on any page
On any page you want to share, click the toolbar icon. Flyn shortens the current URL on the spot and copies the short link, with a matching QR code one click away, without leaving the tab you are on.
Copy and share
Copy the short link with one tap and paste it wherever you are working: a DM, an email, a caption, a doc. The link is already saved to your dashboard, so you can track and edit it later.
Why it matters
What you get
Shorten without leaving the page
The URL of the tab you are on is filled in for you. One click on the toolbar icon returns a short link, so you never copy a long address or open Flyn in a second tab just to shorten it.
No context switch
Read, browse, and share in one place. Because the shortener lives in the toolbar, there is no tab-hopping between the page you found and the app that shortens it. You stay in your flow.
Runs on your custom domain
Because the extension uses your normal Flyn login, links you create in the browser can carry your own branded domain like go.yourco.com, not a generic shortener name. Custom domains are a Pro feature.
Every link lands in your dashboard
Links made from the toolbar are saved to your Flyn account, where every click is counted on every plan. Pro breaks clicks down by country, city, device, OS, browser, and referrer.
A QR code with every link
Each short link has a matching QR code one click away in the popup, with a PNG download ready for a slide, a flyer, or a product page. Skip the extra step of generating one somewhere else.
Faster than copy and paste
The old way is select the URL, copy it, switch tabs, paste, wait, copy the result. The extension collapses all of that into a single click, which adds up fast when you share links all day.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the Flyn Chrome extension?
Add it from the Chrome Web Store and it pins to your toolbar. It is an already-published extension, so there is nothing to build or configure. Open it once, sign in with your Flyn account, and you are ready to shorten any page you visit.
Do I need an API key to use it?
No. The extension signs in with Google or with the same email and password you use on flyn.to. There are no API keys to generate, copy, or paste. Your plan and custom domains are available the moment you sign in.
Does the extension use my custom domain?
Yes, on Pro. Because it runs on your normal Flyn account, links you create from the toolbar can use your branded custom domain instead of the default shortener domain, just like links you make in the app.
Where do links I create in the browser go?
Every link you shorten from the toolbar is saved to your Flyn dashboard, where its clicks are counted on every plan. Pro adds breakdowns by country, city, device, OS, browser, and referrer, and you can edit or delete the link later from the app.
Do I get a QR code from the extension?
Yes. Click QR Code under any short link in the popup to see its QR code, then download it as a PNG for a slide, a document, or a printed piece without opening a separate QR tool.
Which plan is the Chrome extension on?
The Chrome extension is free. Sign in with any Flyn account, including the Free plan, and shorten the tab you are on straight from the toolbar. The short link and QR code it produces are free, within the Free plan's 25 new links a month. Pro removes that monthly limit and lets you put links on your own branded domain (go.yourbrand.com) instead of Flyn's short domain.
Why teams choose Flyn
Built to trust, priced to keep
Flat, honest pricing
Pro is $9/mo billed annually (about 8 EUR / 7 GBP), or $12 month to month. No per-link fees, no metered "tracked clicks", no surprise tier jumps.
GDPR-safe by design
No raw IP addresses stored, plus one-click data export and deletion. Built to fit EU and UK privacy rules.
No ad interstitials
Clean redirects on your own branded domain. Your audience never lands on a preview or ad page first.
Numbers you can trust
Click and scan analytics are bot-filtered, so you measure real people, not crawlers padding your stats.
