Description:

Untiny.me is a service to get the original URL of a shortened one. This is useful in case you need to know where the link will take you, or if the URL shortening service is blocked by a certain proxy, a case many users face in certain countries.

Features:

  • Extract shortened URLs
  • Most URL shortening services are supported
  • Add-ons for browsers and GreaseMonkey Script available
  • API available
  • Multilingual – English and Arabic

About:

Untiny.me is the creation of Saleh Al-Zaid, and you can follow the updates on Twitter @untiny.

That’s how Saleh describes his site:

The main reason of Untiny is that some of the tiny services are blocked in some countries although the original long URL is not blocked. Untiny retrieves the original URL so you can access it – if it is not blocked too. Untiny is NOT a proxy breaker!
