URL Encoder

What is the URL Encoder/Decoder?

When transmitting data over the internet, URLs can only be sent using the ASCII character set. If your URL string contains spaces, special characters, or non-ASCII characters, it must be encoded before it can be safely processed by a web browser or server. Our Free Online URL String Encoder instantly converts unprintable and special characters into a universally accepted format.

Conversely, working with API responses, referral links, or complex web queries often leaves you deciphering URLs filled with "%20", "%3D", or "%26". Our decoder instantly converts these percent-encoded strings back into readable human text, making debugging effortless.

This tool processes your data entirely on the client side (in your browser), meaning your strings are never uploaded or saved to our servers.
