How it works

URL encoding (also known as percent-encoding) converts special characters — like spaces, ampersands, and non-ASCII text — into a format that's safe to use in web addresses. Paste your text and click "Encode" to make it URL-safe, or paste an encoded string and click "Decode" to restore the original characters.

Common use cases

  • Encoding query string parameters for URLs and APIs
  • Decoding percent-encoded strings from web addresses
  • Preparing special characters for safe URL transmission
  • Debugging URL encoding issues in web applications
