🔍 SEE WHERE LINKS REALLY GO — BEFORE YOU CLICK

LinkTransparency reveals what's hidden behind every link. Hover over any URL to instantly see:

- The real final destination
- Every redirect in the chain
- Tracking parameters and UTM tags
- URL shortener origins (bit.ly, t.co, etc.)

No copy-paste. No new tabs. No waiting. Just hover and know.

PRIVACY

LinkTransparency does not:
- Collect personal information or create a profile of you
- Require an account, email, or sign-up
- Sell data to anyone

By default, we collect anonymous, aggregate telemetry (redirect counts, which tracking parameters exist, domain categories) to improve the product and publish transparency reports. No URLs or browsing history are stored.

You can disable telemetry entirely in settings.

SUPPORTED URL SHORTENERS

bit.ly, tinyurl, goo.gl, and 50+ more.
