URL Encoder / Decoder
Safely encode or decode URL strings for web development and SEO tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do URLs need encoding?
URLs can only contain a limited set of characters from the US-ASCII character set. Special characters like spaces or brackets must be converted into a 'percent-encoded' format to be valid.
What is encodeURIComponent vs encodeURI?
Our tool uses encodeURIComponent, which encodes all special characters including forward slashes, making it perfect for preparing query string parameters.
How to Use the URL Encoder & Decoder
To prepare your links, paste your URL or special characters into the input area. Click 'Encode URL' to safely escape characters for browser addresses, or 'Decode URL' to translate encoded percent sequences back into human-readable text. The result is displayed in a high-fidelity card with a 'Copy' function, allowing you to quickly move your data between development environments with absolute precision.
