Remove tracking parameters from URLs
Strips known campaign and referral parameters (utm_*, fbclid, gclid and similar) and leaves the rest of the query string alone.
What it changes
Apps append parameters to shared links that identify the share or campaign. Untail removes those and keeps the ones the page needs, like the video ID.
Keeps what the page needs
YouTube video IDs, timestamps and playlists survive. Only known tracking parameters are removed.
Expands TikTok short links
vm.tiktok.com and vt.tiktok.com links are followed once by our server to get the full video URL.
Runs in your browser
Normal links are cleaned locally and never sent anywhere. Only short links are sent to our server to resolve the redirect.
FAQ
Which URL tracking parameters are removed?
Common examples include utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, fbclid, gclid, msclkid, igsh and multiple platform-specific sharing identifiers.
Why not delete everything after the question mark?
Some parameters are essential. On YouTube, v specifies a video, t specifies a timestamp and list specifies a playlist. On shopping or search pages, query parameters can change the page you see.
Is the cleaner private?
Ordinary URL cleaning runs in your browser. Supported TikTok and t.co short links need a server request to resolve their redirect. Untail does not use analytics scripts, cookies or a link-history database.
Install as an app
Add Untail to your home screen. On Android you can then pick it from the Share menu to clean a link directly.
