Here's what this free tool does in detail — every feature is built to solve real problems, runs entirely in your browser, and is free forever.
Handles every way Markdown can express a link: inline [text](url), reference-style [label]: url, autolinks <url>, and bare URLs pasted into paragraphs. The cleaner sweeps through all four and strips tracker params from each one.
For a deeper audit, pair with the Free Markdown Link Extractor to get a flat list of every link, or run the result through the Free Markdown Linter for a broader check.
The default blocklist includes every common tracker: utm_* (Google Analytics), gclid / gbraid / wbraid (Google Ads), fbclid / fb_* (Meta), msclkid (Microsoft), _hsenc / _hsmi (HubSpot), mc_eid / mc_cid (Mailchimp), mkt_tok (Marketo), mtm_* / piwik_* (Matomo), ttclid (TikTok), li_fat_id / trk (LinkedIn), plus generic ref, source, campaign, cid, mid.
Good for your privacy, great for your readers. For an HTML cleanup tool, see the Free HTML to Markdown Converter.
Patterns ending in _* match any parameter starting with that prefix — a single utm_* entry strips utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, and utm_content all at once. Add your own company's internal tracking params via the custom field below the tool.
Pair with the Free Markdown Reference Link Converter to normalize the link style while you clean.
Optional: Clean fragments drops tracking-style #key=value hashes while preserving document-anchor fragments. Lowercase host normalizes the hostname to lowercase for consistency. Sort params alphabetizes the remaining query string for deterministic output (great for reproducible builds and diffs).
When publishing, pair with the Free Markdown Formatter and Free Markdown to HTML Converter.
