Bulk URL opener
Paste a list of links, one per line, and open them in new tabs with one click. The list is cleaned first, so you see exactly how many links will open: duplicates and entries that aren't web addresses are skipped, and https:// is added where it is missing. Nothing is uploaded; the list stays in your browser.
Your browser often blocks a second or third tab as a pop-up. Is there a notice in your address bar? Choose "Always allow pop-ups" for this site and click again. Or use Open next: every click opens one link, which is never blocked.
How it works
-
Paste your links
One link per line. https:// is optional; duplicate links are skipped.
-
Open them
Click Open all links. If your browser blocks pop-ups, Open next opens them one by one.
-
Keep track
Links you have opened get a tick in the list.
How it works
- Paste your links into the box, one per line. Two links on one line are split too, as long as the second starts with
http://orhttps://. - The status line shows how many links are left, and which entries were skipped and why.
- Click Open all links. Your browser opens each one in a new tab.
- If the browser blocks the extra tabs, allow pop-ups for this site, or use Open next, which opens exactly one link per click.
- Opened links get a tick in the list, so you can always see where you are.
What counts as a link
Entries are cleaned before they are checked. Angle brackets, parentheses and quotes before a link, and a comma or semicolon after it, are stripped, so a link copied from a chat message, a Markdown list or an e-mail as <https://example.com/a>, still works. Then the tool adds https:// if there is no scheme and checks the result.
Here is a list of seven entries:
https://example.com/a
example.com/a
www.wikipedia.org
localhost:3000
mailto:me@example.com
https://example.com/a https://example.org/b
foo
It gives 3 links: https://example.com/a, https://www.wikipedia.org/ and https://example.org/b. The address example.com/a appears three times in different forms, but is opened once. Three entries are skipped: localhost:3000, mailto:me@example.com and foo. Untick Skip duplicate links and the same list gives 5 links, because the repeats are kept.
Why does my browser block some tabs?
A page may open one new tab per click. More than that counts as a pop-up, unless you allow pop-ups for the site. The tool counts how many tabs really opened and tells you when the rest were blocked, for example "2 of the 6 links opened". Open next is never blocked, because every click opens exactly one link, and the label shows where you are, such as Open next (3 of 6).
Where it helps
- Going through a list of URLs from a spreadsheet, a sitemap or an SEO audit.
- Checking every page you changed after a release.
- Opening your morning reading in one go.
If the list is messy, clean it first: remove duplicate lines or sort the lines alphabetically. Links with spaces or special characters in them can be repaired with URL encode. To get a link onto paper or a screen instead, turn it into a code with text to QR code.
Frequently asked questions
How many links can I open at once?
The tool sets no limit, your browser does. Most browsers open the first tab and block the rest as pop-ups until you allow pop-ups for this site. After that the limit is memory: dozens of tabs make a browser slow. For long lists, open 10 to 20 links, then use *Open next* for the rest, or paste the list in parts.
Why were some of my links skipped?
Only `http` and `https` addresses with a dot in the host name are accepted. That rules out `localhost:3000`, `mailto:` addresses and plain words, and the status line names the first three that were skipped. Addresses such as `192.168.0.1:8080/admin` do work, because the host contains dots.
Does the tool check whether a link works?
No. It only checks that the text has the shape of a web address. A page that doesn't exist, or a site that is down, shows up when its tab opens.
What is in the list I can copy?
*Copy cleaned-up list* copies the links that will open, one per line, without duplicates and with `https://` added. Addresses come out in their normal form, so a bare domain gets a trailing slash: `www.wikipedia.org` becomes `https://www.wikipedia.org/`.
Are my links uploaded or stored?
No. The list is read and cleaned in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server and nothing is saved, so a list of internal or private addresses stays on your computer.
