Share sheets append parameters that do nothing for the viewer and everything for tracking. In a printed QR or a paid ad, you usually want a stable watch URL. This cleaner keeps v= (and optional t=) and drops the rest.
How to use this tool
- Paste the dirty URL.
- Choose output style.
- Copy the clean link.
- Use it in QR, bios, and end screens.
What we keep
Video ID, optional timestamp, and optionally a playlist ID if you choose. Everything else goes. You decide whether to emit youtu.be or youtube.com/watch.
Professional notes
- UTM tags belong on your own landing pages, not usually on the YouTube URL.
- If you need attribution, use YouTube’s official analytics and campaign tools.
