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

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 for Every URL
Paste a link, tap clean, share what's left. Strips thousands of known trackers, including utm_source, fbclid, gclid, and affiliate tags, before the link leaves your browser.
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.

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.
