How to clean a TikTok share link

TikTok share links carry tt_medium, _r, _t, and (from ads) ttclid + _ttp, plus utm_*. Strip them before forwarding — LinkClean does it in one tap.

TikTok's share dialog gives you links that look like https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMabc123/?_r=1&_t=AbC&tt_medium=ios_native or https://www.tiktok.com/@creator/video/7100000000000000000?_r=1&_t=… with a long tail of tracking. Some of it is share-session attribution (tt_*, _t, _r); some is the canonical TikTok Ads tail (ttclid + _ttp); some is utm_*.

None of it routes the destination. The canonical path is the video / profile URL; everything after the ? is metadata.

  1. Use the LinkClean share-sheet action

    From the TikTok app, tap Share → Clean URL. The cleaned link is on your clipboard. Same video, no share token.

  2. Or paste into the app to audit what was stripped

    Open LinkClean, paste the TikTok URL. You'll see tt_medium, _r, _t (and ttclid if present) listed as stripped. The path is preserved.

  3. If the link is a vm.tiktok.com short link

    LinkClean's E1 redirect-unwrapping resolves vm.tiktok.com locally to the full tiktok.com/@user/video/<id> form, then cleans the destination. One step, no third-party fetch.

  4. Confirm the video still plays

    Open the cleaned URL in a private tab. Same video, same creator. TikTok routes purely on the video ID.

The TikTok parameters worth recognizing: ttclid is the ad-click identifier (only on outbound TikTok Ads, paired with _ttp); tt_medium / _r / _t are the share-session triplet (on every organic share). LinkClean strips all four by default.

Skip the steps — LinkClean does it.

LinkClean strips tracking parameters from any link in one tap, from any app's share sheet. No account, on-device.
