URL Unshortener – Expand Shortened Links & Reveal the Original URL

Our URL Unshortener is a free, fast, and secure tool designed to help you expand shortened URLs and reveal the original full link behind them. If you've ever received a shortened link and wanted to verify its destination before clicking, our tool provides a safe and reliable way to check where the link leads without exposing yourself to potential risks such as phishing scams, malware, or harmful redirects.

With the increasing use of URL shorteners like bit.ly, t.co, goo.gl, tinyurl.com, and more, it has become easier to share long and complex URLs. However, shortened URLs can sometimes obscure the actual destination, making it hard to trust them. Our URL Unshortener tool instantly expands any shortened link and displays the full destination URL, helping you browse the web safely and avoid harmful sites.

Why Use a URL Unshortener?

🔹 Avoid Scams & Phishing Attacks – Shortened URLs can disguise malicious websites; expand them before clicking.
🔹 Verify Links Before Visiting – Ensure the URL is safe and legitimate before proceeding.
🔹 Check Redirects & Tracking Links – Uncover if a URL includes tracking or multiple redirects.
🔹 Improve Web Security – Prevent exposure to potential threats like malware-infected sites.
🔹 Get Full URL Information – See the complete web address behind any short link.

How to Use the URL Unshortener?

1️⃣ Copy the shortened URL you want to expand (e.g., bit.ly/xyz123).
2️⃣ Paste the link into our URL Unshortener tool.
3️⃣ Click "Expand URL" to retrieve the full destination link.
4️⃣ View the original URL and decide whether it's safe to visit.

How Do URL Shorteners Work?

URL shorteners convert long web addresses into short, easy-to-share links. When you click on a shortened link, it redirects you to the original full URL using a 301 or 302 HTTP redirect. While this is useful for social media and marketing, it can also hide malicious or untrusted websites. Our URL Unshortener tool reveals the original destination so you can browse securely.
