Canonical URL Generator
Strip tracking parameters and normalize a URL to a clean, canonical form.
Removes query parameters, the URL fragment (#...), and a trailing slash — a common canonical URL convention. Verify against your own site's actual canonicalization rules before using this in production.
Processing happens locally in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded.
How It Works
Paste a URL. Query parameters, the hash fragment, and a trailing slash (except on the root path) are removed automatically.
Example
https://example.com/page/?ref=twitter#section becomes https://example.com/page.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why remove query parameters for a canonical URL?
- Tracking parameters (like ref= or utm_ tags) create URL variations that all show the same content — a canonical tag tells search engines which single version to index.
- Does this replace setting an actual rel="canonical" tag?
- No — this generates the URL value you'd put inside a <link rel="canonical" href="..."> tag in your page's HTML.
