01

Turn a crowded tracking URL into a cleaner link.

The checker separates campaign tags, advertising click identifiers and functional parameters so you can remove tracking data without deleting values your destination may need.

Paste the complete URL

Use the exact link from your campaign, analytics platform, ad manager, email or social post.

Review length and parameters

See total characters, query-string length and every detected UTM, click ID and functional parameter.

Clean, copy or shorten

Choose what to remove, copy the cleaned destination or turn it into a smart Link short link.

02

Clean URLs without breaking useful query parameters.

Not every parameter is tracking. The tool removes only the groups you select and keeps product IDs, search filters, affiliate identifiers and other functional values by default.

Measure before sharing

Spot extremely long URLs before placing them in emails, QR codes, documents or social profiles.

Remove campaign residue

Strip UTM tags and common ad click IDs after attribution is no longer needed.

Keep the destination useful

Preserve unknown parameters by default instead of blindly deleting the entire query string.

URL length checker and UTM cleaner FAQ

How long should a URL be?

Browsers support long URLs, but shorter links are easier to read, copy, share and debug. A URL above roughly 200 characters is worth reviewing, especially for print, email and social use.

Which parameters does the cleaner detect?

It recognizes UTM parameters and common click identifiers such as fbclid, gclid, msclkid, ttclid and several email-platform tracking IDs.

Will the tool remove affiliate or product IDs?

No by default. Unknown and functional parameters stay in the URL. Always review the preserved-parameter group before using the cleaned link.

Is my URL sent to LinkDirect?

No. Length analysis and cleaning run in your browser. The URL is sent only if you deliberately open it or move it to the LinkDirect shortener.

Can I shorten the cleaned URL?

Yes. The result can be passed directly to the free LinkDirect shortener to create a compact smart link with browser-aware routing.
