Links & Sharing
Turn share links into direct downloads, tag campaign URLs, and strip tracking junk — all transformed in your browser. A link generator on someone's server sees every URL you paste; here nothing is sent anywhere.
- Google Drive Direct Download Link Generator Paste a Google Drive, Docs, Sheets or Slides sharing link and get a direct download / export URL
- Dropbox Direct Download Link Generator Paste a Dropbox share link and get a direct-download version and a raw hot-link version
- GitHub Raw Link Generator Paste a GitHub file link and get its raw.githubusercontent.com URL
- URL Tracking Parameter Cleaner Paste a long, tracker-laden link and get a clean one back
Share links, kept private
Direct-download and export links from Google Drive, Docs, Sheets and Slides and Dropbox are built by parsing the file ID or rewriting a single parameter — operations that need no server. The GitHub raw link generator rebuilds a blob URL into its raw.githubusercontent.com form, and the tracking-parameter cleaner strips the utm_* tags, fbclid, gclid and other click IDs that platforms bolt onto links.
All of it runs on your device. That matters for a link tool: the URLs you paste often point at things that are not public yet, and a privacy tool that uploaded them would defeat its own purpose. Everything here works offline and sends nothing anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Why run link tools in the browser instead of a web service?
A share link can reveal what you are working on — an unpublished landing page, a private file, a campaign you have not launched. Server-based "link generators" see every URL you paste. These tools do the whole transform in your browser with JavaScript, so your link is never sent to LazyTools or anyone else, and they keep working offline.
Do these direct-download links work for private files?
No — Google Drive and Dropbox still enforce their sharing permissions. A direct link only downloads for people if the file is shared as "Anyone with the link". The tool builds the correct URL; the file owner controls who can open it.
Are these official Google / Dropbox URLs?
They are built on the providers' own public endpoints (Drive's export and uc?export=download, Dropbox's dl parameter), the same ones the services use behind their Download menus. They are reliable conveniences rather than contractual APIs, so a provider could change them.
