URL Encode/Decode

Encode or decode URL components and query strings.

What is URL encoding?

URL encoding (also called percent encoding) replaces unsafe characters in URLs with a percent sign followed by their hexadecimal value. This ensures that special characters like spaces, ampersands, and question marks are transmitted correctly in URLs.

How to use this tool

Enter a URL or text string in the input field. Click 'Encode' to convert special characters to their percent-encoded form, or 'Decode' to convert percent-encoded strings back to readable text.

Common use cases

Encoding query parameters in API requests, handling special characters in form submissions, constructing safe redirect URLs, and debugging URL-related issues in web applications.
