URL Parameter Remover
URL Parameter Remover clears every query parameter and the fragment from an absolute URL, then returns the browser-serialized base path. It makes no distinction between tracking, content selection, pagination, authentication, language, search, or signed parameters. Removing them can lead to a different page, an error, or loss of access, and the tool does not fetch or compare either URL.
Runs locally — files stay on your deviceDoes it preserve any query parameter?
No. The complete query string is removed.
A parameter-free URL is not necessarily equivalent
Query parameters can be cosmetic, analytical, functional, or security-sensitive; only the destination application defines their effect.
How it works
The URL parser loads trimmed input, search and hash are set to empty strings, and toString produces output.
Key concepts
All-or-nothing query removal
There is no parameter keep list.
No equivalence test
The destination is never requested.
When to use it
- Strip a known optional query from a reviewed link.
- Get the origin/path portion of an absolute URL.
- Remove client fragment state.
When not to use it
- Do not alter signed download URLs.
- Do not remove required IDs, filters, language, or pagination blindly.
- Do not infer a canonical URL automatically.
Worked examples
Search URL
- Input
https://e.test/search?q=tea#results- Expected output
https://e.test/search
The search meaning is lost.
Tracking only
- Input
https://e.test/page?utm_source=x- Expected output
https://e.test/page
May be suitable after review.
Signed download
- Input
?token=secret- Expected output
Base path
Likely no longer authorizes the download.
Common mistakes
Assuming same content
Parameters can drive rendering. Correction: Test both URLs.
Calling output canonical
No canonical analysis exists. Correction: Use site-defined preferred URLs.
Removing access tokens
The link can stop working. Correction: Understand the protocol first.
Best practices
- Use only when query independence is known.
- Test the output in the destination context.
- Avoid sharing tokenized URLs at all when possible.
