URL Unshortener / Expander

Reveal where any shortened link really goes — before you click it.

Live on the Apify Store — run it instantly, or call it as an agent tool via Apify MCP.

Expands bit.ly, t.co, tinyurl, goo.gl, ow.ly and dozens of other shorteners to their true final destination — following the full redirect chain and flagging anything suspicious.

What you get

Final destination — the real URL after every redirect is followed.
Full redirect chain — every hop, its HTTP status, and the Location it pointed to.
Hop count — how many redirects it took to get there.
Final page title — the <title> of the landing page so you know what you're getting.
Shortener detection — isShortener flags links from known URL-shortening hosts.
Safety flags — domainChanged / cloaking when the final domain differs, and manyHops for unusually long chains (common in tracking/cloaking).
HEAD-then-GET strategy — fast HEAD requests, with automatic GET fallback for servers that refuse HEAD or when reading the final title.
Bulk mode — expand up to 50 URLs in a single run.
