URL ENCODER / DECODER

The URL Encoder / Decoder is a fast, handy tool used to safely encode characters in a URL so that they can be reliably transmitted over the internet, or decode them back into a human-readable format.

Why encode URLs?

URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set. If your URL contains characters outside the ASCII set, or includes reserved characters (like spaces, ampersands, or equals signs) that form part of your data parameters, those characters must be converted into a valid ASCII format. URL encoding converts these characters into a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits (e.g., a space becomes %20).

How to Use

• To Encode: Paste your plain text or full URL into the input field and click ENCODE.
• To Decode: Paste your percent-encoded URL string into the input field and click DECODE.
• Copy Output: Easily copy the result to your clipboard with the click of a button.

Privacy & Security

This converter operates completely within your web browser. Your data is processed locally and is never transmitted to or stored on any external server, ensuring your URLs and data remain totally private.
