Free Privacy URL Cleaner
Remove known tracking parameters from links locally. Clean up to 100 URLs, review each change and preserve functional query values and suspected signed links.
Conservative cleaning rules
Only recognized tracking keys and your explicit custom keys are removed. The cleaner keeps the original path, retained query bytes and fragment unless you request otherwise. It does not rewrite nested URLs or remove arbitrary identifiers from the path.
Common signature keys trigger protection, but no local rule list can detect every signing scheme. For the encoding behavior this tool avoids, see MDN’s URLSearchParams documentation.
How to use privacy url cleaner
Paste one absolute HTTP or HTTPS URL per line, up to 100 links. No links are opened.
Keep the conservative defaults or choose specific extra parameter names to remove. Review options that can break signed links or fragment routes.
Clean the URLs, inspect removed parameters and warnings, then copy or download the results you want to share.
Privacy and scope
All URL processing happens in this browser. The tool does not fetch, open, shorten, redirect or scan links. URLs can contain personal or access information even after cleaning; review the full result before sharing. It is not a malware check or a guarantee of anonymity.
The tool does not save inputs in browser storage. Reset or leave the page to clear its in-page state. Downloads and clipboard copies remain wherever you save or paste them.
Frequently asked questions
Which tracking parameters does this remove?
The default rules remove utm_* attribution parameters and a specific list of advertising, social and email click identifiers, including gclid, fbclid, msclkid, ttclid, mc_cid and mc_eid. The results list every removed parameter. Generic keys such as id, ref, source, q, page and v stay unless you explicitly add them as custom removal rules.
Will cleaning a URL make me anonymous?
No. Websites can still see your IP address, cookies, account identity and browser information. Identifiers can also appear in the path or parameters this tool does not recognize. This tool removes selected query parameters; it does not inspect the destination or verify that a link is safe.
Can this break signed or functional links?
Yes. Some sites depend on query parameters or URL fragments. Suspected signed URLs are preserved unchanged by default. An advanced override allows changes with an explicit warning. Other signatures may be undetected. Compare the result before sharing; this tool never opens or tests it.
Does it unwrap shortened links or follow redirects?
No. There are no network requests to the URLs. Embedded destination parameters and shortened links are preserved. The tool does not expand redirects or inspect nested links.
Why does the tool preserve fragments and query encoding?
Fragments can represent page anchors or application routes. They are preserved unless you request removal. Retained query parameters keep their original encoding, ordering and duplicate entries rather than being reserialized, which reduces unintended changes to functional URLs.
