About WebShare

Major browsers have stripped link-sharing via email down to the bare minimum: a plain link dropped into your email client. No subject. No clickable title. No image. WebShare restores these features and more!

  • Article title in subject line
  • Clickable title in email
  • Article image in email
  • If no article image, a screenshot of the web page is sent
  • Add a Quick Note
  • Send WebShareArt images
  • No email client needed -- Webshare sends it
  • Optimized for sharing Bluesky and LinkedIn posts and Youtube videos

How WebShare Manages Images

When you share a link, WebShare first tries to find an image on the page. If no image is found or accessible, WebShare takes a screenshot of the page to include in the email.

Note: Some websites block access to their images from outside domains. This is true of all articles hosted by MSN.com. When an article from MSN.com is shared, WebShare will take a screenshot of the page since the image is not accessible.

About WebShareArt

Every WebShareArt image is a unique, original piece of abstract art generated by WebShare. No two are alike. You choose from three distinct WebShareArt images to send. Or, click on "Generate three new images" to get a fresh set to choose from.

Subtle feature: The art's color tone is influenced by the time of day. Morning will be the lightest colors, afternoon a bit darker, and evening the darkest colors.
