About URL Encoder/Decoder

URL Encoder/Decoder percent-encodes special characters in URLs and query string values, and decodes percent-encoded URLs back to readable text. Enter a URL or query parameter value and encode or decode it with a click.

URLs can only contain certain ASCII characters. Special characters — spaces, brackets, ampersands, and non-ASCII characters — must be percent-encoded to be safe in URLs. Forgetting to encode user-supplied values can cause broken links or security issues.

The tool handles both full URL encoding and component-level encoding (for values within query parameters).
