Amazon URL Shortener / Tool

Format

Option
Web Tools

This is a tool that runs in your browser to shorten Amazon product page URLs. It is not a service that issues shortened URLs, but simply removes unnecessary characters from the URL.

  • Entering a URL automatically outputs a shortened result.
  • When entering multiple URLs, please separate them with a new line.

Here’s the Amazon url!

https://www.amazon.com/All-new-Kindle-Oasis-now-with-adjustable-warm-light/dp/B07F7TLZF4/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=kindle&qid=1637052644&sr=8-1

It’s too long.

The cause is that the URL contains product names and search terms. Therefore, you can erase most of the text and still open the page. Let us now decode the URLs in turn.

How to shorten a URL

URI scheme and Domain: Undeletable (×)

https://www.amazon.com
Do not delete.

Product name: Deletable (○)

/All-new-Kindle-Oasis-now-with-adjustable-warm-light
This is all unwanted and should be deleted.

ASIN / ISBN: Undeletable (×)

/dp/B07F7TLZF4/
Do not delete. “B07F7TLZF4” is the number used to identify the product.

The /dp/ part is the format of the URL of the product page. 4 patterns exist, so I made it so that you can freely choose the “format”. No matter which one you choose, the product you open will be the same.

  • /gp/product/B07F7TLZF4/: Official URL format at the time of writing.
  • /dp/B07F7TLZF4/: URL format for inflow from search engines.
  • /exec/obidos/ASIN/B07F7TLZF4/: This is an old URL format. It is still available today, but it is safer not to use it.
  • /o/ASIN/B07F7TLZF4/: A shortened URL format of 3. It is safer not to use this as well.

○Search history information: Deletable (○)

ref=sr_1_1?keywords=kindle&qid=1637052644&sr=8-1
This is all unwanted and should be deleted.
