Copy the link out of the email and paste it above to see where it really goes.
To copy a link without opening it, right-click it on a computer, or press and hold it on a phone, and choose Copy link or Copy link address.
Buttons in newsletters and marketing emails rarely go straight to the page. Most go first to the email company's server, such as Mailchimp, SendGrid, HubSpot or Klaviyo, with a code that ties the click to your email address. That's how a sender knows exactly who clicked what. Link Unmasker shows each of those stops, names the company behind it, and lists the tracking codes in the address.
It's also a quick way to spot a scam. The words in an email can say one thing while the link goes somewhere else entirely. Here you see the real destination before you visit it, including warnings when the address uses lookalike letters, or when part of the trail isn't encrypted.
If your organisation's email security wraps links, such as Microsoft Safe Links or Proofpoint, the address names its destination inside it, and you'll see that too.
Checking is a visit
Following a link visits it, the same as a click, just from our server instead of your device. If the link carries a code that identifies you, the sender may still record it as clicked. Links that work only once, like password reset or sign-in links, may stop working after you check them, so don't paste those here.
Guides
What this can't do
- It can't tell you a site is safe. It shows where a link goes, not whether the page there is honest. Check the final address yourself, letter by letter.
- Some redirects need a full browser. Pages that run a lot of code before moving you on, or that ask you to click a button, stop the trail there. We show the page we reached.
- Some sites block automated visits. They may show a "checking your browser" page or an error instead of what you'd see.
- Links that need you to be logged in end at a sign-in page here, because we never use your accounts.
- It doesn't see tracking inside the final page, such as analytics scripts and ad pixels. Only the redirects, address codes and cookies on the way.
