Link decoder
Paste an address you received by text, email or message. The tool shows who really owns the site, what in the address is only decoration, and characters that imitate other letters. The analysis runs in your browser: the address is sent nowhere, and the link is never opened.
How the tool reads an address
In a web address, only one part identifies the site's owner: the registered domain name, just before the extension (“.com”, “.fr”, or a compound extension such as “.co.uk”). Everything before it is a subdomain, which that owner writes however they like — including the name of a bank. Everything after it (the path, the parameters) is just as free. The tool uses the public list of extensions that browsers use to isolate that name, then flags the known tricks for hiding it: an “@” in the address, a link shortener, letters from another alphabet, a capital letter imitating another letter.
What the tool does not do
- It never says a link is “safe”: it has no way of knowing.
- It does not follow redirects: for a shortened link, the destination remains unknown.
- It does not replace the basic rule: to sign in or pay, use a bookmark or the official app.
