Clean Link

Settings

A link cleaner, also called a URL cleaner, removes the tracking parameters that platforms and advertisers add to a link before you share it. Paste a URL and Clean Links strips tags like utm\_source, fbclid, and gclid, follows short links to their real destination, and gives back a clean URL that opens the same page. The web cleaner needs no account, and it keeps no record of what you paste.

## How Does Clean Links Remove Trackers?

### A 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.

### Redirect Checker for bit.ly and Shortlinks

Paste a bit.ly, t.co, or TikTok shortlink and see the full redirect chain. Catches quishing QR codes and hidden affiliate hops before you click through.

### Install Clean Links on Any Device

Pin the web cleaner as a progressive web app on Chrome, Edge, and Android, or install the iPhone, iPad, and Mac app for on-device cleaning, Share Sheet actions, Safari extension, QR scanning, and Shortcuts.

## Clean Links FAQ

-   What does it mean to clean a URL?
    
    Cleaning a URL means stripping the tracking parameters and redirect wrappers from a link without changing where it goes. Tags such as utm\_source, fbclid, and gclid record who shared the link and what was clicked, and short-link wrappers like bit.ly or t.co hide the real destination until you open them. A clean URL drops that tracking, keeps any parameter the page genuinely needs, and still opens the same content.
    
-   How does the web link cleaner differ from the iPhone, iPad, and Mac app?
    
    The Apple apps clean links on-device. When a shortlink or redirect has to be resolved, your device makes the request in an isolated, cookie-free context with a randomized user agent. The web cleaner currently sends the link to the Clean Links API because shipping the full rule engine to every browser would make the tool heavy and slow. We do not log what you paste, store cleaned links, or tie those requests to an account, and we are working on a WASM version that will move the web cleaner fully into your browser.
    
-   Does Clean Links store my history or checked QR codes?
    
    No. By design, Clean Links does not log or store links you clean or check.
    
-   Why do I need this app and why can't I just clean links manually?
    
    Most tracking parameters are now hidden behind redirects such as t.co, l.facebook.com, l.instagram.com, and lnkd.in - you cannot see these parameters until you click. Clean Links automatically handles this for you, saving you from tedious manual work and protecting you from hidden trackers.
