🔍 URL Expander

📘 How to Use URL Expander

Paste any shortened URL (e.g., from bit.ly, tinyurl, is.gd, etc.) into the input field and click Expand URL. The tool follows all redirects and shows the final destination URL, along with the HTTP status and the number of redirects encountered.

🔍 What is a URL Expander?

A URL expander (or link unshortener) reveals the original long URL behind a shortened link. Short URLs are convenient, but they can hide the destination. This tool helps you verify where a link actually leads before clicking, enhancing security and transparency.

✨ Features

• Follows all redirects: Handles multiple redirections (e.g., bit.ly → tinyurl → final).
• Shows status code: See the final HTTP status (200, 404, etc.).
• Redirect count: Know how many times the URL was redirected.
• Works with all major shorteners: Supports bit.ly, tinyurl, is.gd, ow.ly, etc.
• Copy result: One-click copy of the expanded URL.

🛡️ Security & Privacy

All expansion is done directly from your browser using fetch with redirect following. No data is sent to external servers (except the request to the short URL itself). The tool respects your privacy and does not log or store any URLs.
