Here are the steps to shorten a link:

1. Copy the URL you want to shorten by highlighting it in your address bar and pressing Ctrl + C (Command + C for Mac).
2. Visit a URL shortener website, such as Bitly, TinyURL, or Rebrandly, which will shrink your URL for free.
3. Paste the URL you copied into the box on the website and click on the button to generate a shortened link.
4. Copy and share the shortened link on social media or other websites. You can also customize the link if you have a premium account on the website.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
