History

Link converters have been around for years. The most well known is taobaotools.github.io. It's purpose is more link sanitzation than conversion, it was made at a time where mobile taobao links and world taobao links were a big problem, today we are facing different problems: more agents than ever, alternative marketplaces with Weidian and 1688, and shortened Pandabuy links.

Since I developed a very good link converter for the RepArchive Browser Extension, I thought I could reuse the stable code base to bring you a web based, easily available converter with extra benefits.

In a way, this is the RepArchive Browser Extension for the public web. Getting the extension is still highly suggested though, since it automatically converts links, but the downside is you need a desktop browser.

Features

Shared with taobaotools.github.io

sanitize taobao links, e.g. world.taobao.com links.
