Create Website Shortcut on Desktop using Chrome on Computer

Google Chrome allows you to create desktop site shortcuts and save them locally. The shortcuts will automatically open on the default browser and launch the site.

Desktop shortcuts are beneficial when we need to open a specific link or URL frequently. You can also add the site links on the home screen of the browser.

Create a Site Shortcut Link on the Desktop

The shortcut links always help in reducing effort and improving productivity. Here are the steps to create a shortcut link and add it to the desktop screen:

1. Launch Google Chrome on your computer.
2. Open the website that you want to send to your other devices.
3. Click on the More  menu for options.
4. Hover over the More Tools option from the list.
5. Click on the Create Shortcut… command option.
   
6. Customize the link title and enable or disable the checkbox to open the link in a window.
7. Hit on the Create command button.

It will create a shortcut link and place it on the desktop screen with a hyperlink. When you double-click, the shortcut automatically opens the website link on the Chrome browser.

Bottom Line

Shortcut links are easy to create and manage. Chrome’s ability to create a website page shortcut is in-built and easy. Select the Create Shortcut… option from the menu, and the link is dropped on the desktop home screen.

Similarly, you can create a shortcut and add it to the Home screen using Chrome on Android. Like a desktop browser, the links will launch only on Google Chrome. The shortcut links also have a small Chrome favicon as an identification mark.
