Free tool
Free Amazon link shortener
Turn a long Amazon URL into the shortest clean product link — and generate an affiliate link by adding your Associates tag. BetterLink expands amzn.to and a.co links, removes search and session parameters, and validates the tag against the storefront.
Submitted URLs are not saved by this tool.
Requests are limited to recognized Amazon hosts.
No public or indexable result URL is created.
What the shortener does
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
Choosing the right tool
Shortener, localizer, or deep link?
“Short link,” “localized link,” and “deep link” are often used interchangeably. They solve different problems, and they can be combined only when their rules are compatible.
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 localizesMobile 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 worksUse 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.
