Link cleaner: remove tracking from links

Links copied from apps, emails and ads carry tracking codes that tell the site who shared them and where you came from.

This free link cleaner removes them and gives you the short, plain link. It works in your browser and never opens the link.

Free, no account, nothing uploaded.

How to remove tracking from a link

  1. Paste the link. Paste it in the box above, or use the Paste button. A whole message with several links works too.
  2. Check what was removed. The clean link appears straight away, with the tracking codes that were taken out.
  3. Copy, open or send it. Copy the clean link, open it, or send it to your other device.

What the link cleaner removes

  • Campaign tags that newsletters and ads add: utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign and the rest.
  • Click IDs from ads and social networks: fbclid (Facebook), gclid (Google Ads), msclkid (Microsoft), ttclid (TikTok), igsh (Instagram) and others.
  • Share codes that link a shared link back to your account, like si on YouTube and Spotify links.
  • Redirect wrappers from Google results, Facebook, Instagram and Outlook safe links, so you get the real address.
  • Amazon product links shortened to amazon.com/dp/ and the product number.

Why clean links

Tracking codes let a site connect a visit to the person who shared the link, the email it came from or the ad you clicked. Removing them keeps that between you and the page.

Clean links are also shorter and easier to read, and they still open the same page.

Short links

Short links like bit.ly or t.co hide the real address, and finding it means opening the link. This page never opens links, so open a short link once and clean the address you land on.

Private by design

The cleaning happens in your browser with a list of known tracking codes. The link isn’t sent anywhere or opened, unless you click Open.

Questions

How do I remove tracking from a link?

Paste it into the link cleaner on this page. It removes known tracking codes and redirect wrappers, and gives you the clean link to copy.

What is the si in YouTube and Spotify links?

A share code that links the shared link to the account that shared it. The video or song opens the same without it.

What are utm parameters?

Tags like utm_source and utm_campaign that tell a site which newsletter, ad or post a visit came from. Removing them doesn’t change the page.

What is fbclid?

A click ID Facebook adds to links, so sites can connect your visit to Facebook. The link works the same without it.

Will the clean link still work?

Yes. Only tracking codes are removed; the parts that choose the page, video or product stay.

Can it clean bit.ly and other short links?

Not without opening them, which this page never does. Open the short link once, then clean the full address.
