Abstract: We present a way to turn an arbitrary (unbounded) metric space $mathcalM$ into a bounded metric space $mathcalB$ in such a way that the corresponding Lipschitz-free spaces $mathcalF(mathcalM)$ and $mathcalF(mathcalB)$ are isomorphic. The construction we provide is functorial in a weak sense and has the advantage of being explicit. Apart from its intrinsic theoretical interest, it has many applications in that it allows to transfer many arguments valid for Lipschitz-free spaces over bounded spaces to Lipschitz-free spaces over unbounded spaces. Furthermore, we show that with a slightly modified point-wise multiplication, the space $m{Lip}_0(mathcalM)$ of scalar-valued Lipschitz functions vanishing at zero over any (unbounded) pointed metric space is a Banach algebra with its canonical Lipschitz norm.
