What is URL Cleaner?
URL Cleaner is a free online tool designed to strip unwanted tracking parameters, UTM codes, affiliate tags, and hash fragments from web links. Modern marketing platforms insert lengthy parameters like utm_source, utm_campaign, fbclid, and gclid into links to track user behavior. URL Cleaner removes these telemetry tokens instantly while preserving essential functional query parameters, giving you clean, concise, privacy-respecting URLs to share.
How to Use URL Cleaner
- Paste any web link or a list of URLs into the input text area.
- Select your cleaning options, such as stripping tracking codes, removing hash fragments, or deleting all parameters.
- Click Clean URL or copy the sanitized link instantly to your clipboard.

Common Mistakes
- Accidentally selecting 'Strip All Parameters' on search result or paginated URLs where parameters like ?q= or ?page= are required.
- Assuming URL shorteners and affiliate tracking parameters are identical — affiliate IDs may be needed if you intend to maintain affiliate attribution.
- Forgetting to check custom parameter inputs when dealing with proprietary corporate analytics tracking flags.
Why Use This Tool

- Reduces link length for cleaner presentation in emails, documentation, and messaging.
