How it works What the Relative to Absolute URL Converter does

Turns relative links such as /about or ../contact into full URLs using a base address you give — handy for links scraped from HTML.

Turns relative links (/about, contact, ../shop/) into full URLs using the base URL you enter, following the same rules a browser uses. Links that are already absolute are left alone.

Enter the URL of the page the links were found on as the base: relative paths like “contact” resolve against that page’s folder.
