URL Encoder/Decoder
Encode or decode URL text safely in your browser.
How to use URL Encoder/Decoder
- Paste the text component you want to encode, or an encoded component to decode.
- Choose Encode or Decode.
- Check the output before inserting it into a URL.
Practical example
A space inside a parameter value is encoded as %20 by component encoding. Characters such as & need encoding when they are data rather than separators.
What to check before using the result
Encode a parameter value rather than an entire assembled URL, unless you intentionally want to encode its separators too. Repeated encoding changes percent signs and can break links. Decoding malformed escape sequences can fail. Encoding does not conceal private data.
