PicSee provides an API that enables seamless integration with websites, AI agents, CDPs, apps, and other systems. This allows programs to automatically create Short Links via PicSee without needing to manually operate through the website.

Use Cases

Enterprise Integration Example

When you place an order in the KFC app, you receive a confirmation email (or SMS) containing a Short Link that lets you view your order status. Have you ever wondered—does KFC have staff manually creating a Short Link for every order? That would be incredibly inefficient.
Of course not. These Short Links are generated via API. Once you complete your order, KFC’s backend system calls the PicSee API to shorten the order tracking URL and then sends the Short Link to you.
As a side note, KFC Taiwan’s kfcclub.tw Short Link domain is also a PicSee branded short domain.

Individual Integration

For individual users, no coding is required. After enabling the API, you can access the following features:

• Create a Short Link for the current page with one click in your browser: Install the browser extension (supports Chromium-based browsers). With one click, the current page is converted into a Short Link along with a QR Code.
  
• Create Short Links and view analytics in ChatGPT: You can even generate analytics reports or batch-shorten all links in an Excel file.
  
• Integrate with AI agent workflows: Enable agents like OpenClaw and Claude Cowork to create Short Links and retrieve analytics.
  
• Create your own Short Link macros in Excel: Refer to this guide for instructions.
