TWDxCleanLinks strips tracking parameters from every URL you share — instantly, with zero data stored. Web, iOS, and API. All free.
Every shared link is a data pipeline. Here's what the average web user unknowingly exposes.
When you copy and share a URL with tracking parameters, you hand over your traffic source, campaign attribution, device type, click timestamp, and session identifiers. Combined, these let advertisers build a cross-platform profile that follows you across the web — even without cookies.
When you clean a link through TWDxCleanLinks, it strips parameters like utm_source, fbclid, gclid, and 500+ others — plus 2,100+ domain-specific params across Amazon, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, and more. The link you share is clean — no ad-tech residue, no cross-site fingerprint fuel.
A complete web + API + iOS stack, engineered to clean every link you touch.
Paste any URL at /Cleaner/ to strip UTM tags, click IDs, and 500+ tracking parameters. Free, instant, no sign-in.
After cleaning, each URL's domain is checked against a security DNS blocklist for known malware and phishing. Results are indicative — always verify high-stakes links with a dedicated security tool.
The cleaning engine runs on globally distributed infrastructure. URLs are cleaned in milliseconds — zero personal data stored, only anonymous counters retained.
The free iOS Shortcut plugs into the Share Sheet. One tap cleans any URL — in Safari, Chrome for iOS, or any app that can share a link.
The public API at /api/clean?url= works from any script, AI tool, or app. No API key needed. JSON response, globally cached, under 100ms. See API reference →
Web, mobile, or code — pick the one that fits your workflow.
Visit /Cleaner/, paste any URL, and get the clean version in under a second. See exactly which tracking parameters were stripped and why.
Add the free iOS Shortcut to your device. In any app, tap Share → Clean Links. The cleaned URL lands instantly in your clipboard, ready to paste.
Call GET /api/clean?url=YOUR_URL from any platform. Returns a structured JSON response with the cleaned URL, removed parameters, and categories. No API key required.
Every URL passes through a five-stage pipeline running on a distributed global network — sub-100ms, no data retained.
