URL Cleaner — Remove Tracking Parameters
Strip utm_ tags, fbclid, gclid and other tracking parameters from links, unwrap Google, Facebook and Outlook redirect links and shorten Amazon URLs, one or many at once.
Only parameters on the lists above are removed. Some sites need their own parameters (search terms, page numbers, product options), so check the cleaned link once before sharing it widely.
| # | Original | Cleaned | Removed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | https://shop.example.com/shoes/runner?color=blue&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=spring&fbclid=Iw… | https://shop.example.com/shoes/runner?color=blue | utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, fbclid |
| 2 | https://www.google.com/url?q=https://example.org/guide%3Fpage%3D2%26gclid%3DCj0KCQ&sa=D&usg=AOvVaw0 | https://example.org/guide?page=2 | gclid · unwrapped www.google.com |
Links copied from emails, ads and social apps carry extra parameters that tell the sender who clicked: utm_ campaign tags, ad click IDs such as gclid and fbclid, newsletter tokens and share IDs. Many are also wrapped in a redirect link (google.com/url, l.facebook.com, Outlook Safe Links) that hides the real address. This cleaner removes the tracking parts, unwraps the redirects and leaves everything the page needs — for one link or a whole list, without opening any of them.
How to use this tool
- Paste one link per line.
- Keep the categories you want removed ticked; add names to the keep list or the extra remove list if needed.
- Choose whether to unwrap redirect links, shorten Amazon product links and drop the #fragment.
- Copy the clean links, and check the table to see what was removed from each one.
Formula
clean link = scheme://host/path + ?(parameters not on the tracking lists, in their original order and encoding) + #fragment
Parameter names are compared case-insensitively after decoding. Redirect wrappers are unwrapped by reading the parameter that holds the destination (q or url on google.com/url, u on l.facebook.com, url on Outlook Safe Links …) up to five levels deep, and only when it is a real http(s) address. Site-specific share tokens such as si or t are removed only on the sites that use them.
Example
https://example.com/?utm_source=x&id=5 becomes https://example.com/?id=5 — utm_source is a campaign tag, id is part of the page. A Google redirect such as google.com/url?q=https://example.org/guide%3Fpage%3D2%26gclid%3D… unwraps to https://example.org/guide?page=2, and the gclid inside it is removed as well.
Frequently asked questions
Will a cleaned link still work?
Almost always: tracking parameters are read by analytics scripts, not needed to show the page. Parameters that select content — search terms, page numbers, sizes, video start times — are kept. If a site does misbehave, add the parameter to the keep list.
Does it follow short links like bit.ly or t.co?
No. Expanding a short link means requesting it from the shortener's server, which this page does not do. Wrapped links are different: their destination is written inside the link itself.
Is removing utm_ tags bad for the site I share?
It only means their analytics will not credit the original campaign. The visit still counts, and the link you share no longer reveals where you got it.
