URL Encoder and Decoder

What this tool does

URLs can only contain a limited set of characters, so anything outside that set has to be percent-encoded, which means replacing it with a percent sign followed by two hexadecimal digits. For example a space becomes %20 and an ampersand becomes %26. This tool encodes text into that safe form and decodes percent-encoded strings back into readable characters. It handles full URLs as well as individual query string values, and everything runs locally in your browser.

How to use it

Paste the text or URL you want to convert into the input. Encode it to make it safe for use in a link or query parameter, or decode a percent-encoded string to read what it actually says. Copy the result with one click. This is especially handy when you are building links by hand, debugging an API request or reading a redirect URL packed with encoded parameters.

• Encode text and URLs into percent-encoded form
• Decode percent-encoded strings back to readable text
• Works for full URLs and single query values
• Runs in the browser, nothing is transmitted

Why it matters

Encoding is essential whenever user input or special characters end up in a web address. Without it, characters like spaces, question marks, ampersands and equals signs would break the structure of a URL or be misread by a server, sending the wrong data or causing errors. Search parameters, form submissions, tracking links and API calls all depend on correct encoding to carry values safely. Being able to decode is just as useful for inspecting what a long, cluttered link is really doing. Because it all happens in your browser, you can check links containing sensitive parameters without sharing them.
