URL Encoder/Decoder

Encode text into a safe URL format (percent-encoding), or decode an encoded URL back to readable text.

When to encode or decode a URL

URL encoding converts special characters (like spaces, & or ?) into a percent-encoded format that’s safe to use inside URLs and query parameters. Decoding reverses the process and returns the original readable text.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I URL-encode text?

URL encoding converts special characters (like spaces, & or ?) into a percent-encoded format that’s safe to use inside URLs and query parameters.

Why do I get a decoding error?

Decoding fails when the input isn’t a valid percent-encoded string (for example, a % not followed by two hexadecimal digits).

Is it safe to use with sensitive data?

Yes — encoding/decoding happens entirely in your browser and is never sent to a server.
