Read full description

Linkrinse removes common tracking parameters from web links before you share them, one link at a time or up to 200 at once, while leaving the parts that make a link work alone. ONE LINK Paste or type a link and tap Inspect. Linkrinse shows the cleaned link and lists exactly which parameters it removed. Copy the clean link or share it. BATCH - Paste up to 200 links, one per line, and give the batch a title. - Name any parameters you always want kept, and choose whether to also remove ambiguous referral keys such as si, ref, source and campaign. That option is off by default because these keys can change what a page shows. - Inspect the batch to see every original next to its result, with a note for each line: what was removed, why a link was left unchanged, or why a line was rejected. - Select the results you want, then share the selected links (with optional de-duplication) or export a before-and-after report. - Save a batch on your device to reopen it later with the same settings and selections, and delete it when you no longer need it. WHAT IS REMOVED All utm_ parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign and the rest), fbclid, gclid, dclid, msclkid, mc_cid, mc_eid, igshid, vero_conv and vero_id. Ambiguous referral keys are removed only when you turn that option on in Batch. WHAT IS KEPT - Anchor fragments (#section), the order and exact encoding of the remaining parameters, and the link's http or https scheme - Signed or access-token links, for example links with X-Amz-Signature, signature, token or key parameters, are left completely unchanged so download links keep working - Links containing a user name or password are rejected instead of cleaned PRIVACY Links are processed on your device. Linkrinse never opens, fetches, previews or uploads them, and it reads the clipboard only when you tap Paste. No account, no ads and no analytics. GOOD TO KNOW Linkrinse works inside the app; it does not include a share extension or a Safari extension. It does not unwrap redirect links, convert AMP pages or remove affiliate codes. Removing parameters can occasionally change how a page behaves, so keep the original if in doubt.
