URL Encoder & Decoder
Escape special characters for use inside a URL, or turn percent-encoded values back into readable text.
Encode and decode URL components
URL encoding replaces reserved or unsafe characters with percent-encoded values so they can be transported safely inside web addresses.
This tool uses component encoding, which is suitable for query values and individual path values rather than an entire assembled URL.
How to use the URL Encoder & Decoder
- Paste or select the source value in the expected format.
- Choose the conversion direction or output format and run the conversion.
- Review and copy the converted value, then verify it in the receiving application.
Practical example
Use a small known sample first so you can compare the output before processing a larger value.
What this tool cannot guarantee
The result reflects the supplied input and browser implementation; project-specific syntax and runtime behavior still require testing.
