About Unshorted Url Online
This tool takes a shortened URL (bit.ly, t.co, ow.ly, goo.gl, tinyurl, and many others) and follows the redirects to reveal the final destination URL. It also shows the full redirect chain — intermediate hops if any — so you can see exactly where a link goes before clicking.
Unshortening is essential for security: shortened URLs hide their target, and malicious links use them to disguise phishing sites, malware downloads, and tracking redirects. Always check before clicking links from untrusted sources.
The tool follows redirects safely without executing JavaScript on the target page — so you see the URL without actually visiting it.
How to use this tool
How to expand a shortened URL
Paste the shortened link
Put the short URL (bit.ly, t.co, t.ly, lnkd.in, etc.) into the "Short URL" field. The scheme is optional — the tool accepts the link as-is.
Know the redirect chain
The tool issues a server-side GET that follows redirects. Some shorteners chain through multiple hops (302 → 301 → 200); only the final destination is reported.
Press Run
The result returns finalUrl (the resolved landing page) and status (HTTP status of the last response). 200 means it resolved; 4xx/5xx means the destination errored.
Verify before clicking
Always inspect finalUrl before opening it. Shorteners can hide phishing or malware; if the resolved URL looks suspicious, do not visit it from your normal browser.
