Reddit Link Cleaner: Remove redd.it + out.reddit.com

Reddit often adds utm_source=share and related parameters to links and routes external URLs through out.reddit.com as an outbound redirect. Clean your Reddit links with Clean Links before you paste or send so people see the real destination without trackers or extra hops.

Why Reddit Tracks Links

• Attribute clicks and referrals from shares
• Measure how posts spread across apps and websites
• Add an outbound redirect layer for scanning and analytics

Why You Should Clean Reddit Links

• Remove utm_source=share and related UTMs
• Unwrap out.reddit.com redirect wrappers
• Expand redd.it short links to the canonical post URL
• Share the same content without extra redirects

How Clean Links Cleans Reddit Links

• Follows out.reddit.com and shorteners like redd.it in an isolated, cookie-free context
• Strips UTMs (for example: utm_source=share, utm_medium=web2x, utm_campaign) on the final URL
• Works from the iOS Share Sheet; clipboard cleaning is macOS only
• All processing happens on-device. No logs. No servers. No tracking

Common Reddit Tracking And Redirects To Watch

• out.reddit.com/...&url=... - outbound redirect wrapper
• utm_source=share, utm_medium=web2x - share/click source tags
• redd.it/... - Reddit short link wrapper for posts and comments

Cleaning removes the tracking tokens and bypasses wrappers while preserving the destination.

FAQ: Reddit Link Cleaner

Does cleaning change where the link goes? No. Cleaning removes trackers and wrappers but preserves the destination.

Why does Reddit use out.reddit.com? It is an outbound redirect layer used for scanning and analytics. Clean Links unwraps this safely and shows the real URL.

Does Clean Links send data to servers? No. All processing is on-device with no logs or accounts.

Why not just delete UTMs manually? Many trackers appear mid-redirect or are hidden in wrappers. Manual trimming misses those and can break links. Clean Links follows the chain and cleans the final URL safely.
