Link Cleaner

What it strips

Tracking parameters are the ?utm_source=…&fbclid=… tails glued onto links so that whoever shared it can see where you came from. They don't change the page — they only follow you. Link Cleaner removes the known ones and shows you exactly which:

• Analytics campaigns — utm_*, mc_cid/mc_eid (Mailchimp), mkt_tok, _hsenc/_hsmi (HubSpot), Piwik/Matomo pk_*.
• Click IDs — fbclid (Facebook), gclid/dclid/gbraid/wbraid (Google), msclkid (Microsoft), ttclid (TikTok), twclid (X), igshid (Instagram), yclid (Yandex).
• Store clutter — Amazon ref/pd_rd_*/pf_rd_*/_encoding (and product links collapse to /dp/ASIN), eBay and others.
• YouTube — si, pp, feature, and the list/index a video picks up when you click it from a playlist.

Then what

• Copy one clean link, or Copy all to grab the whole batch.
• Hit QR to turn a clean link into a scannable code (built from scratch, right here) and download it as SVG or PNG.
• Anything Link Cleaner doesn't recognize is left untouched — it only removes parameters on its known-tracker list, never real ones like a search query or a page id it isn't sure about.
