Tired of typing the same URL every time you visit your favorite websites? By entering a target link and a custom name, this tool generates a standard .url shortcut file. A website shortcut is a special file that records a target URL. Simply double-click it to quickly open the specified webpage in your default browser, saving you the hassle of manual typing or searching through bookmarks.
Can the generated shortcuts be used on a Mac?
They are not fully compatible. This tool primarily generates .url files for Windows. Mac systems require conversion to the .webloc format.
Why is the shortcut icon displaying incorrectly?
Icons are automatically generated by the operating system based on your default browser. If a default icon is shown, try the following: 1. Verify the URL is valid; 2. Refresh your desktop icon cache; 3. Reassociate your default web browser.
1. The link must include the protocol header (http/https).
2. When downloading the .url file, your browser may display a security warning; you will need to manually confirm the download.
3. Files with the same name will be overwritten, so we recommend using unique names.
4. Linux systems require third-party tools to use these files.
Regularly cleaning up unused shortcuts helps keep your system organized. Typical use case: Create a shortcut named "Google Search" for "https://www.google.com". This generates a Google.url file that launches the Google homepage directly when double-clicked.
