Free URL Cleaner
Modern URLs arrive caked in trackers: gclid, fbclid, msclkid and a dozen more. NToolHub's free URL Cleaner strips all known tracking parameters — UTM, ad-platform click IDs and analytics junk — while optionally preserving functional parameters like page numbers. Share links that respect privacy and look professional.
How to Use the URL Cleaner
- Paste the messy URL full of tracking parameters.
- Choose whether to keep functional parameters like ?page=2.
- Click Clean URL to strip utm_*, gclid, fbclid and friends.
- Copy the short, shareable result.
Features
Paste any URL to remove 25+ known tracker parameters (utm_*, gclid, fbclid, msclkid, ttclid, li_fat_id and more), with a toggle to keep functional parameters, plus a removed-vs-kept report and one-click copy.
Benefits & Use Cases
Clean URLs protect recipient privacy, prevent parameter-based duplicate content, and look far more trustworthy in emails, docs and social posts than 200-character tracking strings.
Tips
Keep functional parameters (?page=2, ?id=42) when the link needs them, strip everything else before publishing, and remember some sites require specific params to render — test the cleaned URL.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which parameters are removed?
All utm_* tags plus ad-platform identifiers: gclid, gclsrc, fbclid, msclkid, ttclid, twclid, li_fat_id, dclid, yclid, mc_cid/mc_eid, igshid, _ga, _gl and more.
Will the cleaned URL still work?
Almost always — trackers don't affect page content. If a site genuinely needs a parameter to render, use the 'keep non-tracking parameters' option.
Does this improve privacy?
Yes. Click IDs like gclid and fbclid let ad platforms connect your click to your profile. Stripping them before sharing breaks that chain.
Can I clean many URLs at once?
The tool handles one URL per run for accuracy — paste, clean, copy, repeat. Each run takes seconds.
