UTM Builder
Easily generate tracking links with UTM parameters for marketing campaigns (Source, Medium, Campaign).
What is the UTM Builder?
The UTM Builder is a free tool that generates campaign tracking URLs by appending utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, and utm_content parameters to any link you enter.
You fill in your landing page URL and campaign details, and the builder constructs a complete tagged URL in real time. It correctly preserves any query string already present on the URL and merges your UTM parameters with it.
The tool runs entirely in your browser with no signup. Nothing you type is sent to a server, and the finished URL can be copied to your clipboard with one click.

Frequently asked questions
What are UTM parameters and why do I need them?
UTM parameters are tags added to a URL's query string that tell analytics tools where a visitor came from. utm_source, utm_medium, and utm_campaign identify the channel, marketing type, and campaign, letting you measure which efforts drive traffic and conversions.
Which UTM parameters are required and which are optional?
Source, medium, and campaign are the three core parameters and should always be set for reliable reporting. Term and content are optional: term is typically used for paid search keywords, and content distinguishes similar links such as A/B test variants.
Does the UTM builder work with URLs that already have query parameters?
Yes. The builder reads any existing query string on your URL and appends the UTM parameters after it with an ampersand, so your original parameters are kept intact alongside the new tracking tags.
Why does the tool show Invalid URL?
The generated output shows Invalid URL when the Website URL field cannot be parsed as a valid URL. Make sure it includes a scheme such as https:// and a proper domain, after which the copy button becomes available.
Is the UTM link builder free and is my data private?
Yes. The UTM builder is completely free, requires no account, and runs entirely in your browser. The URLs and campaign values you enter are never sent to a server.
Should UTM parameter values use uppercase or lowercase?
Analytics tools treat UTM values as case sensitive, so email and Email are counted separately. Pick one convention, usually lowercase, and apply it consistently across every link you build to avoid fragmented reports.
