With the majority of sharing activity not coming from the largest sharing destinations (Facebook, Twitter, email), an all-inclusive sharing platform and reliable sharing service is a requirement for nearly all websites. AddToAny is that platform and service. Launched in March 2006, AddToAny is the very first universal sharing platform, and the customizable sharing platform that makes it easy for visitors to share and bookmark your content using any service, resulting in:

• More traffic
• Easy distribution
• Better rankings
• Extended reach

Get the sharing buttons for your website, content management system or blog, including WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and many other platforms.

AddToAny has many features, yet remains lightweight and efficient. We carefully launch new features, and we retire obsolete features. Popular built-in features include:

• Vector sharing icons in any size made for mobile, tablets, touchscreen devices, Retina and high-DPI displays
• Traditional sharing icons in a standard size (16px)
• Optimized performance and efficient loading via world-class CDNs
• Universal sharing button and smart menu
• Visitor personalization
• Google Analytics integration
• International support (i18n/localization)
• Accessibility and graceful degradation
• Cross-browser and backwards compatibility
• Complete control for publishers & developers of all sizes

AddToAny generates fully W3C valid HTML5 and (X)HTML code. Official AddToAny plugins are also W3C compliant.

Constantly. Services frequently come and go, they change endpoints, and AddToAny always uses the current sharing endpoint for each service.

Facebook does link sharing a little differently than most other services. Facebook expects the Title, Description, and Thumbnail of a shared page to be defined in the actual HTML code of a shared page. Unlike other services, Facebook does not accept the values you have set for your sharing widget. To change the title, description or image on Facebook, you will need to modify your pages. Try running Facebook's URL Debugger on your pages to see how Facebook is reading your site. For more technical information on setting your pages up for Facebook sharing, see the "Open Graph tags" section in Facebook's documentation.

Something is likely preventing AddToAny's JavaScript from loading. We recommend searching the web for your specific issue and troubleshooting the issue first.

To troubleshoot, see if the buttons work for you on AddToAny's homepage. If the buttons are not working for you, try another web browser, device, and/or Internet connection to see what is preventing you from loading AddToAny. The most common cause for this issue is browser add-on software that blocks major social buttons such as AddToAny's. If the cause is an add-on, we recommend contacting the add-on's author about whitelisting AddToAny.

If you are experiencing an issue on your site only, try temporarily switching to a default theme (where applicable) and temporarily disabling all other components & plugins on your site. Site-specific issues commonly stem from another website component causing a conflict. Sometimes site-specific issues are caused by invalid website HTML code, so it's a good idea to validate your pages and resolve validation issues. Feel free to contact us with details about your issue — we'll try to help. Point us to your website, and let us know if you're using the general AddToAny code or one of AddToAny's plugins (such as AddToAny's WordPress plugin, Drupal module, or Blogger widget, etc.).

For the standard sharing button code, it's an extra safeguard. Some people have JavaScript and/or HTTP referers disabled in their browsers. JavaScript is needed for the dropdown menu to appear, and the referring page is used if the page URL isn't supplied. By typing in the page URL, all visitors will still be able to share, save and bookmark your page regardless of their browser settings. If you do not specify a URL, the widget will automatically detect the current page using JavaScript and/or the refererring page, and your visitors will always be able to click the button to go to the landing page.

Check out this document which shows you how to best use multiple buttons on the same page. The a2a.init('page') function can be used to initiate additional buttons.

If the target URL is invalid, Internet Explorer blocks this function. The Add to Favorites button will only work when the URL is properly formatted (i.e. http://example.com/page.html)

AddToAny is free.

AddToAny automatically integrates with Google Analytics, and integrates with other analytics software. If you are using AddToAny on a page that uses Google Analytics, the statistics roll in on their own. See AddToAny & Google Analytics for details on how to access these stats within Google Analytics. Other analytics software can track sharing usage by hooking into AddToAny events.

To track clickthrus on shared links, AddToAny integrates with link shorteners and custom URLs and parameters (including Google Analytics parameters).

Start with the documentation for customizing AddToAny. For WordPress, check out the WordPress sharing docs and the sharing plugin's FAQ. For Drupal, check out the Drupal sharing docs. If you are using AddToAny's button code configurator for any website, click the More Options button and additionally see AddToAny's general customization docs.

Yes, feel free!

Certainly, and when you do, we would love for you to add them to the buttons pool on Flickr.

AddToAny automatically personalizes each menu by placing the services each user uses and/or visits at the top of the menu. Read the original blog post about the smart menu feature here.

Yes! If you need to use the secure version for your HTTPS pages, simply change your JavaScript and/or button requests from http://static.addtoany.com/... to https://static.addtoany.com/...

AddToAny works around this issue in many browsers, but some browsers do not support a workaround. Two options are to either modify your embedded objects (preferred) or simply have the widget hide intersecting embedded objects when the menu is displayed.

Yes! You can use FeedBurner in conjunction with AddToAny by entering your FeedBurner feed url like http://feeds.feedburner.com/FEEDBURNER_USERNAME in the Feed URL box.

• First, be sure to have one instance of the script already loaded on the page. You can just use the script without immediately using the button like so:
  • <script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.addtoany.com/menu/feed.js"></script>
• You can then include more Subscribe widgets by adding a2a.init('feed'); to the end of the normal JavaScript variables, like this:
  • <a class="a2a_dd" href="http://www.addtoany.com/subscribe?linkname=Example%27s%20feed&amp;linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Frss%2F"><img src="http://static.addtoany.com/buttons/subscribe_171_16.gif" width="171" height="16" border="0" alt="Subscribe"/></a><script type="text/javascript">a2a_linkname="Example's feed";a2a_linkurl="http://www.example.com/rss/";a2a.init('feed');</script>
• Finally, you will not need this line of code since you already placed it on your page: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.addtoany.com/menu/feed.js"></script>

Not at all. AddToAny only passes the information you provide in the form above to the feed readers your visitors select. Today, most (if not all) of the listed feed readers support every standard format.
