Unshorten.net: See Final Destination of Shortened URLs

A free online tool to unpack shortened links from services like bit.ly, goo.gl, ow.ly, t.co, and more

What is Unshorten.net?

Unshorten.net is a free online service that lets you view the final destination of a shortened URL link. It supports unpacking shortened links from popular services like bit.ly, goo.gl, ow.ly, tinyurl.com, t.co, and more.

Shortened links are commonly used on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook to save characters. They redirect to a longer URL in the background. While convenient, shortened links can also obscure the final destination - which may be suspicious or malicious.

Unshorten.net lets you preview where a shortened link really points to, so you can verify if the destination seems legitimate and safe to visit. Just paste the shortened URL into Unshorten.net and it will show you the original long URL after unpacking all the redirects.

In addition to revealing the final URL, Unshorten.net also checks links against Google Safe Browsing to detect phishing, malware and unwanted software. This provides an extra layer of protection and risk assessment before you click a shortened link.

With its ability to unpack shortened URLs and scan destinations, Unshorten.net is a useful online safety and security tool for assessing links on social networks, emails, messaging platforms, and anywhere else shortened links may appear.
