URL Encode / Decode
URL Encode converts unsafe characters into percent-encoded form so they travel correctly in links and queries. Decode reverses it. Both run locally and follow standard encoding rules.
Key Features
- Encode and decode directions
- Component versus full-URL modes
- Preserve or encode reserved characters as needed
- One-click copy
- Browser-only
Use Cases
- Put a space or symbol inside a query parameter
- Fix a link that breaks on special characters
- Prepare a value for a form submission
- Debug a malformed URL
How to Use
- Paste the text or URL
- Choose encode or decode
- Pick the scope (component or full)
- Convert and copy the result
Practical Tips
- Encode parameter values, not the whole well-formed URL blindly
- Plus signs and spaces need care in query strings
- Decode before logging to read the real value
FAQ
- Encode or decode?
- Encode to send safely; decode to read what was sent.
- Why does a space become plus or percent?
- Both are valid in queries; the context decides which to use.
