About Nev URL Shortener
Simplify your link sharing with Nev, the lightweight, privacy-focused URL shortener
designed for speed and simplicity. No accounts, no subscriptions, and absolutely no
annoying ads.
Whether you are a content creator needing analytics or someone who just wants a clean,
short link, Nev makes it effortless.
Features:
• One-Click Shortening: Shorten the page you are currently viewing or any link you
highlight directly from the Chrome toolbar or via the right-click context menu.
• QR Codes: Turn any shortened link into a QR code without leaving the extension.
Choose branded, plain, or simple, switch between light and dark, and download it as
an SVG or a PNG at 256, 512, 1024, or a custom size.
• Real-Time Analytics: Curious about your links? View detailed analytics for your
shortened URLs directly within the extension, including unique visits, QR code scans,
top countries, social traffic, and a readable history of recent visits.
• Manage Your History: Keep track of your most recent shortened links in a clean,
organized list. You can copy all links at once or remove them individually, and
permanently delete a link you just created.
• Custom URL Management: For permanent links, you can change the custom slug to
something unique and memorable.
• Your Choice of Workflow: Shorten automatically the moment the popup opens, copy the
result to your clipboard without lifting a finger, and set links to expire or stay
permanent.
• Import & Sync: Seamlessly import your existing nev.lt links and sync them across your
browser using our secure cookie-sync technology.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Speed up your workflow with built-in shortcuts. On Windows, Linux,
and ChromeOS, Ctrl+Shift+U opens the popup and Ctrl+Shift+Y shortens the current page
and copies the link. On macOS, use Cmd+Shift+U and Cmd+Shift+Y. Both can be changed at
chrome://extensions/shortcuts
Privacy first:
Unlike other shorteners, Nev doesn’t require you to sign up or provide personal
information. We focus on providing a clean, secure, and ad-free experience. Everything
you need is right at your fingertips.
How to use:
1. Shorten a page: Click the Nev icon in your extension bar.
2. Shorten a link: Right-click any link on any webpage and select “Shorten this link
with Nev.”
3. Create a QR code: Click “QR code” on any link, then pick a style, theme, and size.
4. Check Analytics: Click “Analytics” on any link in your recent history.
Clean. Secure. Ad-Free. That’s Nev.
