A step-by-step visual guide to publishing your first Chrome Extension.
Before you can share your extension, you need to join the club. Registering as a Chrome Web Store developer is your first official step.
All your hard work needs to be bundled up neatly. Combine all your extension's files and assets into a single ZIP file for upload.
Your first impression matters. After uploading your ZIP file, you'll need to create a compelling store listing. Some elements are more critical than others for attracting users.
Who gets to see your masterpiece? You can release it to the public, keep it unlisted for a select few with a link, or make it private to your organization.
Patience is a virtue. Before going live, your extension must pass Google's review to ensure it meets their policies. This can be quick or take a few days.
You've hit the "Submit for Review" button.
Initial policy and security checks are run.
A human reviewer may check your extension.
Your extension is approved and staged for publishing.
You're live! Your extension is now available on the Chrome Web Store for users to discover and install.
