What is the OpenURLs bulk URL opener?

OpenURLs is a free online URL tool. Paste multiple addresses, one per line, into the homepage and select the button. Your browser will try to open each valid link in a new tab.

Do URLs need to include http:// or https://?

No. HTTPS is added to plain domains without a protocol. HTTP and HTTPS links are supported; other protocols are marked invalid.

How do I allow OpenURLs to open new tabs?

Your browser may block tabs opened in a batch. Allow pop-ups for openurls.cc, then return to the tool and try again. See the dedicated guide for steps in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.

How are blank lines and duplicate URLs handled?

Blank lines are ignored and duplicate URLs are merged. The page shows the counts for valid URLs, duplicates, and invalid lines so you can review the list before opening it.

Is my URL list uploaded to OpenURLs?

URL parsing and deduplication happen in your current browser page; the list is not submitted to OpenURLs through a form. After you select Open, your browser visits the destination websites directly.

Is there a maximum number of URLs per batch?

The tool does not truncate the valid URL list, but your browser may limit how many tabs it opens at once. For large lists, open URLs in smaller batches to avoid slowdowns or pop-up blocking.
