Check links before clicking

Expand, scan, and trace redirects to browse safely.

If you are unsure where a short link goes, you can expand and inspect it before clicking.

Expand the destination

Use Link Expander to follow redirects and reveal the final destination URL.

If you do this often, install the Link Unshortener Chrome extension so you can check short links right from your browser.

Scan the destination

Use Link Checker to scan a link before you visit it.

On iPhone or iPad, download BeforeTap from the App Store to inspect pasted links, QR codes, and links shared from other apps.

If you need to understand how a link resolves step by step, use the Redirect Checker.
