About the URL Encoder & Decoder

Percent-encode special characters in a URL so they survive being passed as query strings, or decode an encoded URL back into something readable.

Useful when debugging redirects, building tracking links or working with web APIs.

How it works

  1. Paste the URL or string.
  2. Pick encode or decode.
  3. Copy the safe, transmittable result.

What you'll learn

  • Which characters need to be percent-encoded.
  • Why spaces become %20 in URLs.

FAQs

What is the difference between encodeURI and encodeURIComponent?
encodeURI leaves URL structural characters alone; encodeURIComponent encodes them too. Use Component for query parameters.
