Free tool

Free Amazon link shortener

Use this free Amazon link shortener to clean a long product URL, expand an amzn.to or a.co link, preserve or add your Associates tag, and return the canonical /dp/ASIN Amazon URL.

Paste a full Amazon product URL, or an amzn.to / a.co short link to expand and process.

Overrides the tag in the pasted URL. Leave empty to keep a valid existing tag.

Submitted URLs are not saved by this tool.

Requests are limited to recognized Amazon hosts.

Clean-mode results stay private; managed mode creates your account-owned BetterLink.

How to shorten an Amazon link

Amazon product URLs accumulate search context, referral markers, and session identifiers that have nothing to do with the product. The canonical form needs only the storefront, the ASIN, and your tag.

Expands amzn.to and a.co short links through safe redirects

Extracts the ASIN or ISBN-10 from any product path form

Removes search, referral, variant, and session parameters

Keeps a valid existing Associates tag, or applies yours

Validates the tag suffix against the detected storefront

Flags Amazon Attribution parameters instead of breaking them

Outputs the canonical https://amazon.[tld]/dp/ASIN?tag= form

Runs the same live destination check as the link checker

Clean an Amazon link without losing your affiliate tag

BetterLink identifies the final storefront before rewriting the URL. A valid regional Associates tag is preserved, an optional replacement tag is validated, and Amazon Attribution / MAAS markers are protected from automatic cleaning.

Associates tag

Preserved when its format matches the final Amazon storefront.

Amazon Attribution

Protected because removing MAAS measurement parameters would change the campaign.

Search and session values

Removed with a plain-language reason in the result diagnostic.

Choosing the right tool

Direct Amazon URL versus a hosted short link

A clean direct URL stays on Amazon and contains only the product path and tag. A hosted BetterLink uses a compact BetterLink domain so the destination can be replaced, localized, routed to the app, and measured after publishing.

Shortener

Replaces a long public URL with a compact one. Easier to publish and paste, but shortening alone does not select a country storefront, validate a tag, or control app opening.

Storefront localizer

Uses country and product information to pick the right Amazon marketplace, match the product, and apply your tracking ID for that marketplace, with explicit fallbacks when no match exists.

How BetterLink localizes

Mobile deep link

Attempts to hand a supported product destination to the installed Amazon app. The operating system decides whether that succeeds, so an HTTPS fallback stays essential.

How app routing works

Use shortening for a stable, manageable public URL. Use localization when your audience spans Amazon storefronts. Use app routing when mobile browser friction is the concern. Use the link checker when destinations, availability, or tag configuration may have drifted.

Amazon link shortener FAQ

Does this create an amzn.to link?+

No. amzn.to short links can only be created by Amazon itself, inside Associates tools like SiteStripe. This tool produces the shortest clean direct Amazon URL (the canonical /dp/ product form with just your tag), which works anywhere and stays under your control.

Does shortening an Amazon link affect commissions?+

Removing search, referral, and session parameters does not affect Associates earnings: the tag parameter is what credits your account. The tool validates that the tag suffix matches the storefront (for example -20 on amazon.com) so you do not publish a tag that cannot earn there.

Can it generate an affiliate link from a plain product URL?+

Yes. Paste a product URL without any tag, enter your Associates tracking ID in the optional field, and the tool outputs a clean affiliate link with that tag applied, after checking the tag format against the storefront.

What happens with Amazon Attribution (MAAS) links?+

They are detected and left unchanged. Stripping Attribution parameters would break the advertiser's campaign measurement, and combining them with an Associates tag risks violating program rules. Read the Amazon Attribution links guide for the safe workflow.

When is a localized link better than a shortened one?+

A clean URL still sends every visitor to one storefront. If part of your audience is international, a managed BetterLink routes each shopper to their local Amazon storefront with your local tag. That is where lost commissions usually hide.
