Why it's a strong pick

zShare is included on all Zoho Social plans, including the free edition, so there is no separate extension fee. It also works in more browsers than most: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera. The trade-off is the free edition's size: it has limits on brands, users and channels, so check Zoho's current limits.

What it does

Select text, a quote or an image on a page, then click zShare. It opens the Zoho Social publishing window, where you customize the copy for each channel. You can draft, schedule or publish from there. You can also use it to curate articles you find.

Key features

Select and share. Text, quotes, images and videos from a page.
Per-channel copy. Edit the wording for each channel.
Four browsers. Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera.
All plans. Included on every Zoho Social plan, including the free edition.
Toolbar icon. Click it on any page you want to share.

Who it's for

zShare suits people who already use Zoho Social, and solo users or small brands who want a free edition to start with. Teams should check the plan limits first, since the free edition limits the number of users.

Is zShare free?

The extension is included on all Zoho Social plans, including the free edition. Zoho's free edition has limits on brands, users and channels, with no contract and no card, so check Zoho's current limits. Higher plans add more, so match the plan to the number of people and channels you manage.

Which browsers does it work in?

Zoho lists Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera. This page covers the Chrome version. You can use the same Zoho Social account to publish from any of them. It publishes to the channels connected to your Zoho Social brand, so connect your channels in Zoho Social first, then open the extension.

What permissions and data does it ask for?

We did not find a permission list we could verify, so check the install prompt. The Chrome Web Store privacy tab says the developer handles website content, does not sell it and does not use it for unrelated purposes. That is the developer's own statement.

FAQ

Do I need a Zoho Social account? Yes, it publishes to channels connected in your Zoho Social brand.

Can I use it on the free edition? Yes, zShare is included.

Can I edit the text per channel? Yes, in the publishing window.

Good to know

The free edition limits brands, users and channels, so check Zoho's current limits first. Zoho's plans FAQ says team members on higher plans are add-ons on some tiers, so check before you add people.

Before you install, open the Chrome Web Store listing and read the privacy practices tab and the permissions in the install prompt. Check that the publisher name matches the vendor's own site, and remove the extension if you stop using it, so it no longer has access to your pages. Our how we choose page explains the checks we use, and we do not show ratings or user counts because we cannot verify them.
