Clean Links Kit

Remove common tracking parameters from links before sharing them in Slack, docs, or emails.

Workflow

  1. 1) Clean URLs inside text

    Paste a block of text into URL Parameter Cleaner. It finds links and removes common tracking parameters (UTM, gclid, fbclid, and more).

  2. 2) Fix AI-added referrer tags

    If links were copied from AI tools and include utm_source=chatgpt.com, run them through Remove ChatGPT UTM.

  3. 3) Clean the message too (optional)

    If you are pasting AI-written text into a team channel, use AI Text Cleaner to normalize punctuation, remove invisible characters, and tidy Markdown formatting.

Common mistakes

  • Removing parameters that are required for login or app state (for example: token=).
  • Cleaning affiliate links when you actually need attribution.
  • Assuming all tracking params start with utm_ (they do not).

Example

https://example.com/article?utm_source=chatgpt.com&utm_medium=referral&ref=ai#section

A cleaned version typically keeps the path and optional fragment, while removing tracking keys.
