URL Encoder & Decoder
Percent-encode special characters in URLs or decode encoded URLs back to normal format.
What is URL Encoding (Percent-Encoding)?
URL encoding is a process that translates unsafe or special characters within a web address into a universally compatible format. Because URLs can only be safely sent across the internet using the standard ASCII set, spaces and symbols must be safely converted into percent-encoded values.
When to Use a URL Encoder
- Query Parameters: Formatting query strings and variables containing spaces or symbols for web applications and APIs.
- Debugging Links: Inspecting or translating encoded browser strings and tracking codes back into plain text.
- Preventing links from breaking when shared across different platforms, browsers, or messaging software.
