What is Link Cleaner?
Link Cleaner removes tracking junk from a copied URL before you share it. Many links carry extra parameters such as utm_source or fbclid that follow you around and make the link long and ugly. Paste the link and get a short, clean version and a list of what was removed.
Useful when you need to
- Share a tidy link without tracking parameters
