Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes, completely free with no account required.
- Does my data leave my device?
- No. All analysis is done entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No URLs are sent to any server.
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes. The tool is mobile-first and works in Safari and Chrome on iOS and Android.
- Which URL shortener services does it recognise?
- The tool recognises 20 popular services including Bitly, TinyURL, Rebrandly, Hootsuite (ow.ly), Buffer (buff.ly), Short.io, LinkedIn (lnkd.in), Amazon (amzn.to), YouTube (youtu.be), and more.
- Can it follow the redirect and show the destination URL?
- No — following redirects requires a network request, which would send the URL to a server. This tool stays 100% client-side, so it only inspects the shortened URL itself without fetching the destination.
