About URL Encoder/Decoder

URL encoding (also known as percent-encoding) converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. URLs can only contain certain characters from the standard ASCII character set.

When to Use URL Encoding

Query Parameters: Encode values passed in URL query strings (e.g., ?name=John%20Doe)
Special Characters: Encode spaces, &, ?, =, and other reserved characters
Non-ASCII Characters: Encode international characters and emojis
API Requests: Encode data sent in URL parameters to APIs

Common Encoded Characters

Space → %20 (or +)
! → %21
# → %23
$ → %24
& → %26
= → %3D
? → %3F
@ → %40

How to Use

Encode: Enter a URL or text and click "Encode URL" to convert special characters
Decode: Enter an encoded URL and click "Decode URL" to see the original text
Copy: Use the copy button to easily copy the result to your clipboard

Privacy

All encoding and decoding happens entirely in your browser. No URLs or data are sent to any server.
