What is URL Encode / Decode?

URL encoding (also called percent-encoding) converts characters that are not allowed in a URL, such as spaces, punctuation, and non-ASCII characters, into a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. Decoding reverses this process, turning the encoded characters back into their original form. This ensures that URLs, query parameters, and data transmitted via HTTP requests are interpreted correctly by browsers, servers, and APIs.

How It Works

Enter your text, URL, or query string into the input field. Click "Encode" to convert unsafe or reserved characters into a URL-safe format, or "Decode" to restore an encoded string to its original state. The tool handles all standard URL encoding rules, including special characters, spaces, and Unicode characters, and displays the result instantly for easy copying or further use.

Benefits

Using URL encoding and decoding prevents broken links, ensures data is transmitted safely via GET and POST requests, and helps developers debug web applications and APIs. The tool is lightweight, browser-based, works offline, and eliminates the need for manual string manipulation, saving time and reducing errors when working with URLs.
