Find out where a short link (bit.ly, tinyurl, t.co and others) leads before you click: see every redirect, the final address and the code of each hop, and strip tracking parameters.
How to useWhere does this link go?
URL Unshortener: what it is for
Paste a short link and see the full path to the final destination without opening the page on your device: each redirect numbered, with its code (301, 302, 307) and the time of each hop. The final address is highlighted, already without tracking parameters like utm_source, fbclid and gclid, ready to copy or open.
Works with bit.ly, tinyurl, t.co, cutt.ly, ad links and any redirect.

- Tap Unshorten.

Frequently asked questions
How can I see where a short link goes without opening it?
Paste the link and the tool follows the redirects through our server, without opening the page on your device. It shows every address along the way to the final destination.
Is it safe to open the link afterwards?
The tool shows the destination but doesn't say whether the site is trustworthy. Be suspicious if the final domain differs from what the message promises, has misspellings (like paypa1.com) or asks for passwords and card details.
What are tracking parameters?
Pieces like utm_source, fbclid and gclid at the end of a link that tell the site where you came from. They don't change the page; the tool shows the clean link without them, ready to share.
What do 301, 302 and 307 mean?
They are redirect codes: 301 and 308 are permanent, 302, 303 and 307 are temporary. Shorteners usually use 301 or 302.
