We see beautiful news on opera browser that we read on mobile phone or you love sharing links with our friends and colleagues. But when it comes to sharing a lot of them, don’t we all feel a bit lazy? I mean, it does get a little irritating after a point, to click on each and every link on the address bar, copy it and then paste it onto other apps and programs. Haven’t we all been stingy with sharing at some point, just to avoid that drill? 😛

We want to publish on Opera extensions to be of consistently high quality, so we have created this guide for you to follow.
Create your extension
See our Getting Started tutorial and the rest of the documentation to build your own extension.
Prepare your details before submission
Before you submit your extension, you should do the following to prepare, and get all the details you need together. The following sections contain many hints and tips for creating effective descriptions, screenshots, etc. If you have been through all these before and just need a checklist to check your details against, go straight to the Submit your extension for the review section.
Pick a good name
Think carefully about the name of your extension. It needs to be memorable, short, and appropriate, so it is easy for users to find and remember.
Choose a version number
The version number can consist of one to four dot-separated integers. Examples are 1, 1.3, 2.0.4, and 3.5.8.98. Note that non-zero integers cannot start with 0 — in other words, 064 is not allowed. For more details, see the version documentation section.
Create an extension support page (optional)
You should seriously consider creating a support page for your extension. We’d recommend you include news of new releases and updates, detailed usage instructions, a portfolio of your other work, and contact details in case anyone needs to contact you with queries.
The support webpage should be relevant to your extension. If it is not, your extension may be rejected.
Choose a category
Choose one of the following categories for your extension:
- Accessibility
- Appearance
- Entertainment
- Games
- Music
- News & Blogging
- Pictures
- Productivity
- Reference
- Shopping
- Social
- Travel
- Weather
- Web Development
Choose a license
Choose the distribution license for your extension — the Opera Extensions site allows you to choose between two when uploading.
With the Opera hosting license you keep all content rights, but allow Opera to make the extension available free of charge to users worldwide. Opera can make changes to the extension if required to make it work properly.
Alternatively, if you prefer an Open Source license that allows anyone to build on your work, you can choose the Apache 2.0 license.
Write a good summary
The summary should briefly explain what your extension does. This will be shown on the front page of the catalog and in the extensions manager in the browser. Keep it short and sweet — try summarizing its purpose and functionality in one sentence.
Example:
Video Downloader allows you to easily save all your favorite videos directly as MOV and AVI files, so they are ready to be watched on any device.
Write a good description
The description provides more detail about your extension to supplement the summary. It shouldn’t just be a copy of the summary: it should aim to describe what your extension looks like, what its purpose is, and how you use it. You could also choose to write about the main features, the target audience, and what is coming in future versions.
Example:
Video Downloader is the most advanced tool to keep hold of your favorite videos.
With Video Downloader you can easily save all your favorite videos directly as MOV and AVI files, so they are ready to be watched on any device. Video Downloader also fetches subtitles for the video from different sources, and you can set it up to automatically download subtitles in any language. Video Downloader also lets you save a series of videos in bulk and turn them into a single file.
Video uploader works especially well on low bandwidth connections as it compresses the files before sending them, increasing the download speed up to 60%.
Simply click on the Video Downloader button when visiting the page that contains the video you want to download, then select advanced settings or just press “Continue” to download the single video file.
Test your extension
You should test your extension on Mac as well as Windows, and try it out in low and high bandwidth scenarios. Also, make sure it doesn’t unnecessarily slow down the browser, or otherwise impact the user experience in a negative way.
Create a good icon
You also need to have a good icon prepared for your extension. For more information on creating a good icon, along with icon templates, read Creating effective Opera Extension icons.
Take good screenshots
You need to provide screenshots of your extension. We recommend one screenshot to show how the extension works and one to show how it looks in the browser. Your screenshots should be tidy and clearly illustrate the main features of your extension. They should appeal to your potential users.
