Introducing Link Mask — Hide the Referrer of Any URL

Why Link Mask?

Every time you share a link, the site on the other end usually learns exactly where your visitor came from. That little Referer header quietly exposes your traffic source — your pages, your campaigns, and sometimes even private URLs.

Link Mask fixes this. It's a free, privacy-focused tool that turns any URL into a masked link. When someone clicks it, they land on your destination normally — but the destination never receives the referrer.

What You Get

Hide the Referrer Instantly

No setup, no account. Paste a URL into the tool on our homepage, click Mask URL, and copy your masked link. That's it.

Truly Private Redirects

Our redirect endpoint sets Referrer-Policy: no-referrer and uses a location.replace() navigation, so the destination site cannot see your source page.

Nothing Stored

We don't store the URLs you mask, and the redirect never shares your referrer with the destination.

How It Works

Link Mask builds a redirect URL like:

https://linkmask.net/api/redirect?to=<your-url>

When a visitor opens it, they are forwarded to your destination while the referrer stays hidden. You can read the full walkthrough in our Hide Referrer URL Guide.

Who Is It For?

• Marketers who don't want referral data leaking to competitors.
• Publishers who share affiliate or internal links.
• Privacy-minded users who simply prefer their traffic sources stay private.
• Everyone who wants a clean, free way to mask links.
