URL Encoder/Decoder
Encode or decode full URLs and query-safe text quickly, swap values between panels, and copy the cleaned output.
URLs can only contain a specific set of characters — spaces, Unicode characters, and symbols must be percent-encoded to be safe in URLs, query parameters, and form data. This tool encodes plain text into URL-safe format and decodes percent-encoded URLs back to readable text.
This URL encoder and decoder helps frontend developers safely transform URLs, query parameters, and encoded strings during debugging, testing, and integration work. It is especially useful when working with search params, redirect URLs, and API requests that must be encoded correctly before use.
URL Encoding Tips
Short comparisons and tips to help you choose the right option faster.
encodeURI vs encodeURIComponent
Use full URL encoding when working with an entire address. Use component encoding when you are transforming only one query value, path part, or parameter.
Why URLs break without encoding
Spaces, ampersands, question marks, and other special characters can change how browsers or servers read a URL. Encoding keeps the intended value intact.
How to Use

Paste the text or URL you want to transform into the input area.
Choose full URL encoding or component encoding, then encode or decode the value.
Review the output, swap it back into the input if needed, and copy the final result.
