About this tool

Tracking parameters are added by advertising and analytics platforms to record where a visitor came from. They are not part of the address: remove them and the page loads exactly the same, which is what makes stripping them safe.

They matter when sharing a link, because a URL copied from an email or an ad carries an identifier that ties the recipient's visit back to your click. A tidy link is also shorter and does not leak which newsletter you were reading.

The list here covers Google, Meta, Microsoft, HubSpot, Mailchimp, TikTok, LinkedIn and others. It cannot be exhaustive — any site can invent its own parameter — so a stubbornly long URL may carry something bespoke that only the site itself documents.

Common uses

  • Tidying a link before sharing it.
  • Cleaning a list of URLs exported from analytics.
  • Removing the identifier that came with an ad click.

Frequently asked questions

Will removing these break the link?
No. Tracking parameters are read by analytics, not by the page. The URL resolves to the same content without them.
Which parameters are removed?
Around fifty known ones — utm_*, gclid, fbclid, msclkid, mc_cid and others from the major ad and email platforms. Any site can invent its own, so the list cannot be complete.
Are my URLs uploaded?
No. The cleaning is string manipulation done in the page on your device.
