URL cleanerClean a link of its tracking codes
You can also paste a whole message: we clean every link inside it.
What we remove from links
- Campaign labels, that is utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign and the other utm tags, which say which newsletter or social network you came from.
- The click code added by Google (gclid), Facebook and Instagram (fbclid), Microsoft (msclkid) and TikTok (ttclid).
- The code of whoever shared the link on YouTube and Spotify (si), Instagram (igsh), TikTok, X and LinkedIn.
- The code of whoever received a newsletter, such as Mailchimp's mc_eid and the ones from HubSpot, Marketo and Klaviyo.
- Redirect links from Google, Facebook, Outlook and LinkedIn, which record the click before sending you to the page.
- The rest of product addresses on Amazon, eBay and AliExpress: the product code stays, and it is enough to open it.
Frequently asked questions
How link cleaning works
What are utm_source, fbclid and gclid in a link?
They are codes added to the end of the address, after the question mark. utm_source and the other utm tags tell whoever runs the site which newsletter, social network or campaign you came from; fbclid and gclid identify the single click, added by Facebook or by a Google ad. The page does not need them: it opens just the same without them.
Does the clean link open the same page?
Yes. The tool removes only the codes used for statistics and keeps the ones the page needs, such as the search you made, the page number or the size you picked. If a piece that stayed is of no use to you, remove it by hand, and if one you wanted was removed, put it back with a click.
Why clean a link before sending it?
The link gets shorter and reads better in a message. You do not pass on the codes of whoever sent it to you: the si code on YouTube and Spotify, for example, tells the platform who shared the link and with whom. And whoever receives it does not end up in the statistics of a campaign, carrying the code of a newsletter that may point straight at you.
Does it work with Amazon links and with shortened links?
With Amazon, yes: a product link keeps the store and the product code, that is amazon.com/dp/ followed by the code, which opens the same page. Shortened links such as bit.ly or amzn.to hide the real address instead: open them, copy the address from the browser bar and paste it here.
Does my data stay private?
Yes, and not because we promise it: this tool runs entirely inside your browser. What you type or upload never leaves your device, so it never reaches a server of ours and there is nothing we could keep, read or lose. You can check it yourself: open the page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool keeps working.
Do you store what I enter?
No. There is no database behind this tool: we do not store your files, your text or your results. When you close the tab nothing is left — not here with us, because it never arrived, and not anywhere else.
Do you profile me? Are you GDPR compliant?
We do not profile you: there is no account to create, we never ask for your email to use a tool, and we keep no profile of what you do. We are an Italian company and we work under the GDPR and the other European rules, with the privacy notice and the consent request in plain sight. One thing we say in full rather than hiding it behind a slogan: the ads are Google's, and Google may use cookies to personalise them. You decide from the consent banner: if you say no the ads stay, but they are not personalised, and the tool works exactly the same.
If it is free, how do you make money?
From advertising, and that is all. We do not sell your data, there is no hidden paid plan, there is no limit that eventually asks for your card, and you do not have to sign up. The ads pay for the servers and for the time we spend writing the tools: that is how we can keep them open to everyone.
