What is a link anonymizer?

A link anonymizer strips the HTTP Referer header from any URL so the destination website cannot see where the visitor came from. Tools like the Dereferer wrap your URL in a redirect that removes referrer data before forwarding.

Are these link tools free?

Yes — all 11 link tools on Anonymiz are completely free with no signup, no registration and no usage limits. The tools run entirely in your browser or on our servers with zero tracking.

What is the difference between a URL shortener and a dereferer?

A URL shortener creates a shorter link that redirects to the original URL. A dereferer removes the HTTP Referer header during the redirect so the destination site cannot see where the visitor came from. On Anonymiz every short link also strips the referrer.
