Look before you click.
Paste any link to see where it really goes, what tracking it carries, and whether anything looks suspicious.
Runs locally. Your link is inspected entirely inside your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.

This looks like a shortened link (bit.ly, t.co, tinyurl, etc.). This tool can inspect what's in the link itself, but can't follow the redirect to show you the final destination — that requires a network request.
To safely preview where a shortened link goes before clicking it, paste it into unshorten.me — a free, independent service that follows the redirect and shows you the destination.
Links can hide a lot.
Tracking parameters
UTM tags, fbclid, gclid, and similar parameters tell companies exactly where you came from, what you clicked, and when. They don't change the destination — just remove them.
Lookalike domains
Phishing links often use domains that look almost right — paypa1.com instead of paypal.com, or extra subdomains to push the real domain out of view.
Shortened links
Short links hide the real destination entirely. Legitimate senders rarely need to shorten links in email. When in doubt, don't click — preview first.
