Clean Links
Free Link Cleaner and Safe QR Code Scanner for iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Strip utm_source, fbclid, and hidden trackers from any URL before you share it. Unshorten bit.ly, t.co, and lnkd.in, then preview QR codes before you tap. Everything runs on your device. No account, no link history, no fee.

Safe QR Code Scanner That Shows the Destination First

Point your camera at a QR code and Clean Links reveals the full URL before any browser opens it. It expands short links, strips trackers, and shows where the code really goes, so you can spot a fake site before you tap.

Link Cleaner Removes Trackers From Any URL

Paste, share, or automate any URL. Clean Links strips utm_source, fbclid, gclid, and other tracking parameters, then unwraps short links like bit.ly and t.co so you share the final destination instead of a redirect chain.

Generate Tracker-Free QR Codes for Sharing

Turn any checked or cleaned URL into a QR code that carries no tracking parameters. Share the real destination with friends, colleagues, or printed materials without passing along extra ad-tech tokens.

Build Advanced Workflows with Control Center & Shortcuts

Why You Need a Link Cleaner and a Safe QR Code Scanner

QR codes are everywhere now, and scammers know it. In just two years, QR-based phishing rose from 0.8% to 12.4% of all attacks, and 1 in 10 phishing emails now hides a QR code. Social platforms also keep bolting tracking parameters onto every outbound link.

Clean Links shows the real destination before you tap, and strips the trackers before you share.
