Clean URL & Tracking Parameter Remover

Protect your privacy and share cleaner links. URL Sanitizer identifies and strips away intrusive tracking parameters like UTM tags, fbclid, and gclid from your web links. Many modern websites append a long list of characters to URLs for marketing analytics; our tool removes these, leaving you with a clean, functional link that is easier to read, shorter to share, and respects the recipient's privacy.

How it Works

  • 1Paste the long, messy URL into the text area.
  • 2The tool parses the URL string and identifies query parameters.
  • 3We match parameters against a database of known tracking IDs.
  • 4The tool generates the 'clean' version of the link instantly.
  • 5Copy the sanitized URL for sharing.
