More about this tool

The Canonical URL Generator helps you build a link rel="canonical" tag for a site page. It normalizes the domain and path, adds HTTPS when needed, handles www, trailing slash, query parameters, and hash fragments, then creates a ready-made canonical tag for the page head. The tool is useful for SEO specialists, developers, webmasters, and site owners when dealing with duplicate pages, UTM parameters, sorting, filters, and different URL variants. Generation runs locally in your browser, and your data is not sent to the UtiLab server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a canonical URL?

A canonical URL is the main address of a page that you tell search engines to prefer when the same content is available at multiple URLs.

What does rel="canonical" do?

The link rel="canonical" tag tells search engines which URL should be treated as the primary version of the page and its duplicates.

Where should I place the canonical tag?

Usually inside the HTML head block on the page.

What does the canonical tag look like?

It usually looks like: <link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/page" />.

Is my data sent to the server?

No. Generation runs locally in your browser, and entered URLs are not sent to the UtiLab server.

Should the canonical URL be absolute?

Yes. A canonical tag should usually use a full URL with protocol and domain, for example https://example.com/page.

Should UTM parameters be removed from canonical?

Usually yes. UTM and ad parameters create duplicate URLs, so canonical often points to a clean URL without them.

What about sort and filter parameters?

That depends on your SEO logic. If a parameterized page should index separately, keep the parameter. If it is a duplicate, canonical should point to the main URL without parameters.

Should a page canonicalize to itself?

In many cases a self-referencing canonical is useful: the page points to its own clean URL without extra parameters.

Can canonical point to another domain?

Cross-domain canonical is possible in special cases. For normal pages, canonical usually stays on the same site.

Does canonical guarantee duplicate removal from the index?

No. Canonical is a hint for search engines, not a forced command. The URL should be accessible, relevant, and not blocked from indexing.

Do I need to register?

No. The tool works immediately without registration.
