unshorten.app helps you reveal where a link really goes. Paste any short or suspicious URL and instantly see the final destination, the full redirect chain, and basic security flags — with an option to clean tracking parameters (UTM, fbclid, gclid, and more).
What it does
Unshorten any link to reveal the final URL and final domain
Trace redirect chains step-by-step (status codes + Location headers)
Highlight suspicious patterns (punycode xn--, mixed scripts, @ tricks, IP hosts, uncommon ports, very long queries, downloadable-looking URLs, long redirect chains)
Remove tracking parameters for clean, shareable URLs
Designed to be fast, lightweight, and privacy-first
Privacy-first by design
unshorten.app does not proxy page content. It follows redirects and returns metadata only (HTTP status codes, redirect locations, and the final URL).
Some websites may block automated checks or require JavaScript, so results may occasionally be incomplete.
Who it’s for
Anyone who wants to verify a link before clicking (emails, DMs, ads)
Support and ops teams debugging broken links or redirect loops
Developers / SEO folks tracing 301/302 behavior
Marketers cleaning tracking-heavy URLs before sharing
Pricing
Free plan for occasional checks
Pro (Early Access) planned: higher limits, shareable result links, optional history, and API access
