What is Unshort.link?

Unshort.link protects your privacy by preventing short link services from tracking you.

It offers following features:

  • Access short links for you to prevent the short link providers to track you
  • Check links against a blacklist to prevent access to a harmful website hidden behind a short link
  • Remove known tracking parameters from the urls behind the short links (e.g. the facebook tracking parameter utm_source)
  • Remove as many url parameters as possible by keeping the same website result. This helps to remove tracking parameters that are so far unknown

New short link service will be automatically added by unshort.link's learning algorithm.
