URL Encode / Decode

Safely convert text or URLs into an encoded format for transmission over the internet, or decode them back to their original form.

What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding, also known as percent-encoding, is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Characters that are not allowed in a URI are replaced with a % followed by their two-digit hexadecimal representation.

When to use it?

Use URL encoding when you need to include data in a URL query string or path that might contain special characters like spaces, ampersands, or non-ASCII characters. This tool uses the standard encodeURIComponent for encoding.
