Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a URL expander?

A URL expander is a tool that allows you to see the final destination of a shortened URL (like bit.ly, t.co, etc.) before you click on it. This helps you avoid malicious links or unwanted content.

Is this tool safe to use?

Yes, our URL expander tool is safe. We simply retrieve the destination URL without actually visiting it from your browser, protecting you from potential risks.

Why should I use a URL expander?

You should use it to ensure your online safety and privacy. Shortened URLs can hide the actual destination, which might lead to phishing sites, malware, or trackers. Expanding them first lets you make an informed decision.

Is this service free?

Yes, our URL expander tool is completely free to use.

How does the URL preview feature work?

After expanding a URL, our tool attempts to fetch metadata (like title and description) from the destination page to give you a better idea of its content. This might not always be available due to website restrictions.
