What this tool does
This tool parses a URL locally, removes known tracking parameters, and shows exactly which parameters were removed.
Use this page when a link contains campaign or click-tracking parameters and you want to create a cleaner sharing URL locally in your browser.

Privacy and local processing
Local workflow
- Paste the URL into the local cleaner.
- Review removed tracking parameters and preserved parameters.
- Copy the cleaned URL.
- Test important links before sending them to someone else.
Before sharing the output
- Preserve unknown parameters that may control search, filters, language, coupons, or product variants.
- Avoid cleaning private account, invite, reset, payment, or tokenized URLs in any shared environment.
- Check that the cleaned link still opens the intended destination.
- Remember URL cleaning is not a full anti-tracking system.
Supported files and limitations
Supported: One full URL starting with http:// or https://.
- Unknown query parameters are preserved by default because they may be needed for page behavior.
- Tracking can also appear in redirects, path segments, or encoded nested URLs; this tool does not guess unless a rule is documented.
- Malformed URLs show a validation message.
Tracking parameter remover vs ad blocker
A tracking parameter remover cleans visible URL parameters before you share a link. It does not block ads, scripts, cookies, redirects, or tracking after you visit a website. It is a sharing hygiene tool, not a full privacy extension.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not paste passwords, private tokens, invite links, or reset links into any tool you do not fully trust.
- Do not remove every query parameter automatically; some are required for the page to work.
- Do not claim cleaned URLs stop cookies, fingerprinting, or account-based tracking.
- Do not use URL cleaning as a substitute for browser privacy settings or security tools.
