About URL Encoder / Decoder
URL Encoder / Decoder is a simple but essential tool designed to safely translate strings into percent-encoded formats, or decode them back into human-readable text.
How it works
URLs can only contain certain safe characters. When you have spaces, emoji, or symbols like &, =, and ? in your data, they must be translated into a valid ASCII format. For example, a space becomes %20. This tool performs that exact translation securely in your browser.
When to use it
- Passing complex data through a URL query string parameter.
- Fixing broken links caused by unescaped spaces or symbols.
- Extracting human-readable text from messy, percent-encoded analytics parameters.
