Paste a link above to get a clean copy, with the tracking codes taken out.
Links pick up extra codes after the question mark that say where the click came from: which newsletter, which ad, which social network, sometimes which person. Common ones are utm_source and the other utm codes, Facebook's fbclid, Google's gclid, Microsoft's msclkid, Mailchimp's mc_eid, HubSpot's _hsenc and Marketo's mkt_tok.
Link Unmasker follows the link to the page it ends up on, then gives you that page's address without the tracking codes. Because it's the final address, the clean link also skips any shorteners and click trackers on the way. Parts of the address the page needs, like a product number or search terms, are kept.
Some codes are only removed on the sites where they're known to track. Spotify's and YouTube's "si" share code links a shared link to the account that shared it, so it's removed there. Amazon's "tag" is an affiliate code: removing it means whoever shared the link doesn't earn a commission if you buy something.
Use the clean link to open the page or to share it, so the people you send it to aren't tracked through you.
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.
