URL Encoder and Decoder Online

A URL Encoder and Decoder is a simple online tool that helps you convert URLs and text into a format suitable for use in web addresses. URL encoding replaces certain special characters with percent-encoded values, helping ensure that data is transmitted correctly in URLs.

What Is URL Encoding?

URL encoding converts characters that may have special meanings in a URL into an encoded format. For example, a space can be represented as %20. This is useful when working with query parameters, web forms, API requests, and dynamically generated links.

URL decoding reverses the encoding process by converting percent-encoded characters back into their original form. It helps you read encoded URLs, inspect query strings, and understand data passed through web applications.
