Tracking Parameter Remover
A tracking parameter remover strips tags such as utm_source from a list of URLs. Paste your links, choose which parameters to remove, by name or by prefix, and this free tool cleans every URL and shows how many times each parameter was removed. It keeps every other part of the address as it was.
e.g. utm_source, gclid, fbclid
Strips any query key beginning with this prefix

What is a tracking parameter remover and when should you use it?
Shared links often carry tracking tags that make the same page look like many different addresses in a spreadsheet. Removing them gives you a clean list for audits, reports or redirect maps. To add campaign tags instead, use the UTM Link Builder, and to point search engines at your preferred address, use the Canonical Tag Generator.
How do you use it?
- Paste your URLs.
- Choose the parameters to remove.
- Press Clean.
- Check the changes and download the list.

Result interpretation & practical applications
When evaluating the output of the tracking parameter remover, review the parsed metrics against your specific site architecture. Outputs are formatted for direct implementation into your HTML source, web server configuration, or Google Search Console audit files.
Always inspect generated values for contextual nuance. Automated tools highlight structural patterns, but manual verification confirms that technical directives align with your overarching SEO strategy.
Technical rules and limitations
- Parameters are matched by name, case-sensitively.
- Removing a parameter can change what a page shows if the site depends on it.
- A canonical tag is one way to tell Google your preferred URL.
Google's guide on how to specify a canonical URL.
Common mistakes and troubleshooting
- Removing a parameter that selects the page content, such as a product ID.
- Forgetting tags with different capitalisation.
- Cleaning live links in emails that still need tracking.
