Common Link Problems
Social media exports
Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook exports embed t.co and redirect URLs throughout posts.
Chat logs
Slack, Discord, and support chats paste with raw https links mixed into conversation text.
AI datasets
Training and evaluation corpora often include noisy URLs that skew text analysis.
Review exports
User-generated reviews and forum posts frequently contain promotional links and signatures.
Markdown documents
Docs with [label](url) syntax need link cleanup for plain-text publishing.
Detection Modes
Remove URLs
Delete http, https, and www links while keeping surrounding prose intact.
Replace with custom text
Swap each URL for a placeholder like [link removed] instead of leaving a gap.
Extract URLs only
Output a deduplicated list of every URL found — useful for audits and inventories.
Strip tracking parameters
Remove utm_*, fbclid, gclid, and similar query params while keeping the base URL.
Preserve domain names
Replace full URLs with hostname only — e.g. example.com.
Remove email addresses
Strip email addresses from text for anonymization and privacy cleanup.

Why URLs Appear
URLs are embedded in text from many sources — not just web pages. Cleaning links is essential for readability, privacy, NLP prep, and publishing workflows.
Newsletters
Email campaigns include tracked links for every button, image, and CTA.
Social media
Posts and exports shorten and redirect URLs through platform link wrappers.
Email signatures
Professional signatures stack website, calendar, and social profile links.
Forums
Thread replies and user profiles contain reference links and self-promotion URLs.
Web scraping
Extracted page content carries navigation, footer, and inline href URLs.
URL Types Explained
HTTP / HTTPS
Standard web links with scheme prefixes — the most common URL format detected.
WWW links
Domain-first URLs without an explicit scheme, e.g. www.example.com/path.
Short URLs
Compact redirect domains like t.co, bit.ly, and goo.gl used in social posts.
Tracking URLs
Links with utm_*, fbclid, gclid, and other analytics query parameters appended.
Markdown links
Bracket syntax [text](url) — anchor text can be preserved when URLs are removed.
Notes & Limitations
- Detection covers common http, https, www, and markdown link patterns.
- Obfuscated or unusual URL formats may need manual cleanup with Find and Replace.
- Strip tracking removes common utm_*, fbclid, and gclid parameters from query strings.
- For HTML anchor tags, use Remove HTML Tags first to expose visible link text.
- All processing runs locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions
What URL formats are detected?
The tool detects http://, https://, and www. URLs, plus markdown links in [text](url) format. Short domains like t.co and bit.ly are matched when they appear as standard URL patterns.
Can I replace URLs with custom text?
Yes. Select Replace URLs with custom text and enter a placeholder such as [link removed] or ... in the replacement field.
How does extract URLs mode work?
Extract mode outputs a deduplicated list of every URL found in your input — one URL per line — without modifying the original text structure in the output panel.
Which tracking parameters are removed?
Strip tracking mode removes common parameters including utm_*, fbclid, gclid, mc_cid, mc_eid, ref, and source from query strings.
What does preserve domain names do?
Each full URL is replaced with its hostname only — for example, https://shop.example.com/item becomes shop.example.com.
Are markdown links handled?
Yes. Markdown [label](url) syntax is detected. In remove mode, the visible label text is kept and the URL portion is removed.
Can I remove email addresses too?
Yes. Select Remove email addresses mode to strip email patterns from text for anonymization and privacy cleanup.
Will link text inside HTML stay?
HTML anchor tags should be converted first with Remove HTML Tags. Enable Extract URLs or Preserve link text there for better control over visible anchor text.
Does this work with newsletter paste?
Yes. Newsletter HTML and plain-text exports often contain tracked URLs — use strip tracking or full removal depending on your workflow.
Is my text uploaded to a server?
No. All URL cleaning runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
