Enter a URL or text to encode/decode
How to use
- Paste a URL or plain text into the box and press Process.
- Smart Detect mode reads whether the input is already encoded and picks the right direction automatically.
- Switch to Encode Only or Decode Only to override the auto-detection.
- When the input is a valid URL, the component breakdown (protocol, hostname, path, query) appears below the output.
What this is for
URL encoding (percent-encoding) replaces characters that are not safe in a URL with a % followed by two hex digits. It is required when passing special characters like spaces, ampersands, or Unicode in query strings, API requests, and redirect parameters. Use this tool to prepare values before inserting them into a URL or to read a percent-encoded string returned from a server.
