About this tool
What you can do with URL encoder & decoder
The URL encoder converts characters into a safe percent-encoded URL component, while the decoder restores valid percent sequences to readable text. Both operations use native browser functions and do not send the input to a server.
Tips for better results
- This tool encodes a component value, so separators such as /, ? and & are escaped too.
- Decode only valid percent-encoded input; incomplete percent sequences cause an error.
- Do not treat URL encoding as encryption or protection for secrets.
