🔗 What This Recipe Does
The Extract & Clean URLs recipe chains five operations in one click: it finds every URL in your pasted text, removes duplicates, strips tracking parameters (UTM, fbclid, gclid, mc_cid, and 25+ more), normalizes the URLs (lowercase host, remove trailing slashes), and sorts them alphabetically. You end up with a canonical, shareable URL list free of tracking cruft.
Before this recipe, getting a clean URL list meant opening a URL extractor, running dedupe separately, manually editing out UTM params, and then sorting. Now it's one paste and one click.
🧼 What Gets Stripped
The tracking parameter stripper removes these categories of URL parameters:

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does this recipe do?
It chains five operations in one click: extract every http or https URL from your pasted text, remove duplicate URLs, strip common tracking parameters (UTM, fbclid, gclid, mc_cid and 20+ more), normalize the URLs (lowercase host, remove trailing slashes), and sort them alphabetically. You end up with a clean list ready to share, audit, or archive.
What tracking parameters get stripped?
All UTM parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content), Facebook click IDs (fbclid), Google click IDs (gclid), Mailchimp tracking (mc_cid, mc_eid), Yandex (yclid), Instagram (igshid), Twitter (twclid), Microsoft (msclkid), HubSpot tracking, and common referral params like ref, source, and affiliate_id. The canonical URL is preserved — paths, query params you keep, and fragments stay intact.
What URL formats are detected?
Any URL starting with http:// or https://, including those with paths, query parameters, fragments, subdomains, ports, and international characters. Plain domains without a scheme (e.g. "example.com") are not detected by design, to avoid false positives on text.
Is my data private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser using JavaScript. No URLs or text are ever sent to any server. Your pasted data never leaves your device.
What export formats are supported?
Plain text (one per line), CSV (with "url" header), JSON array, Markdown bullet list, and HTML anchor list (ready to paste into a webpage).
Can I extract from pasted HTML or source code?
Yes. The tool finds URLs inside any text — HTML source, JavaScript, server logs, chat transcripts, spreadsheet cells, or plain prose. Paste whatever you have.
