A tracking URL cleaner is a free online privacy tool that strips tracking parameters from links. Paste a URL bloated with utm_source, fbclid, gclid, msclkid, and 40+ other trackers: the tool removes them all while keeping the page address, useful parameters, and hash fragments intact, then gives you a short, clean, shareable link.
How do I remove tracking parameters from a URL?
Short answer: Paste the link into the box above and press Clean URLs. The tool parses the query string, deletes every known tracker (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, fbclid, gclid, msclkid, and dozens more), and rebuilds the link with only the meaningful parameters left. Copy the clean URL or grab the whole batch at once.
The page itself never changes: only the tracking tags are stripped, so the cleaned link opens the exact same content without telling ad networks where you came from.
Which tracking parameters are removed?
Short answer: All parameters starting with utm_, pk_, piwik_, and matomo_, plus exact matches for click IDs like gclid, gbraid, wbraid, fbclid, msclkid, ttclid, twclid, li_fat_id, dclid, yclid, srsltid, and email tags like mc_cid, mc_eid, _hsenc, _hsmi, and hsctatracking. Anything not on the list is kept, and you can add custom names of your own.
Affiliate and functional parameters such as ref or coupon are kept by default: add them to the custom field only if you want them gone too.
Does cleaning a URL break the link?
Short answer: No. Tracking parameters are purely informational: servers ignore their absence, and the page, product, or article loads identically. Hash fragments like #comments are preserved, and useful parameters such as page numbers or search queries stay in place. If a link somehow needs a removed parameter, the original is always shown next to the cleaned version.
Cleaning is especially useful before sharing links publicly, since long tracker strings look spammy and leak where you found the link.
Frequently asked questions
Is this tracking URL cleaner free?
Yes. Clean unlimited URLs with no account and no limits. It runs entirely in your browser.
What is the difference between this and the UTM builder?
The UTM Builder adds tracking parameters to your own links for analytics. This tool does the opposite: it strips tracking parameters from links you received, for privacy and cleaner sharing.
Will it remove parameters my link actually needs?
Only known trackers are removed. Parameters like page, q, id, or product variants are kept. The removed list is shown per URL so you can verify.
Can I clean many URLs at once?
Yes. Paste one URL per line and every link is cleaned in a single pass, with per-link results and one combined output to copy.
Is my browsing data uploaded anywhere?
No. URL parsing and cleaning happen locally in your browser. Pasted links never leave your device.
