Canonical Tag Generator

Generate a <link rel="canonical"> tag from any URL.

Paste a URL and get the canonical link tag for your <head>. Helpful for deduplicating tracking parameters, mobile vs desktop URLs, or content syndicated across multiple domains.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate ranking signals when the same content is reachable via multiple URLs
  • Avoid duplicate-content issues from UTM-tagged or session-id URLs
  • Point syndicated articles back to the original source
  • Specify the preferred URL on paginated archive pages

Frequently asked questions

Should canonical URLs be absolute?
Yes — always include the full https://example.com/path form. Relative canonicals work but are more error-prone.
Can a page canonical to itself?
Yes — and it's recommended. A self-referential canonical clearly tells Google this URL is the preferred version.
