URL Encoder / Decoder

Easily encode or decode your text and URLs with our simple online tool. URL encoding, also known as percent-encoding, converts special characters (like spaces, `&`, `/`) into a format that can be safely transmitted over the internet. This tool instantly converts your input as you type, and you can easily swap between encoded and decoded text. All operations are done securely in your browser.

Why Use a URL Encoder/Decoder?

• Safe URLs: Ensures that special characters in a URL's query parameters don't break the link. For example, a space becomes `%20`.
• Data Transmission: Makes data safe to include in URLs, which have a limited character set.
• Debugging: Developers can decode complex URLs to read the parameters and values more easily.
• Understanding URLs: Helps users see the raw, unencoded version of a link to understand what data is being passed.
