URL Unshorten

This tool will help you to get the final destination of a shortened URL.

About this tool

This tool resolves the given domain name to its final location and outputs the URL. It only accepts HTTP and HTTPS headers, and no content is loaded.

What are shortened URLs?

Many services are available, e.g., bit.ly, ow.ly, rebrand.ly, etc., that shorten a very long URL to make it easier to share or remember. However, there is a catch. You don't know where this link will take you if you get such an URL. Therefore, an unshortened service can help you see the final location without clicking it. Nevertheless, there is still the possibility that the target redirects you through other means, but at least you can check where the short URL is linked to.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity or IT security protects networks, computer systems, and devices from theft or damage to their hardware and software or the data they process and from disruption or misuse of the services and functions they provide. The information is both private and business, which in turn may be personal. Overall, cybersecurity is often (but not only) directed against cybercrime. Among the most significant challenges is the lack of global, centralized cybersecurity institutions and global agreements and regulations to detect and combat cybercrime and bring about cyber resilience.

A cyberattack can lead to identity theft and blackmail attempts on an individual level. Personal data, such as credit card details or family photos, can also be stolen. Critical infrastructures, such as power plants, hospitals, and financial service providers, are essential to the functioning of our society. In addition, industrial espionage is one of the most significant risks for companies.
