Features

This URL encoder and decoder converts text to and from percent-encoding (URL encoding) directly in your browser. Encode query parameters that contain spaces, non-ASCII characters or reserved symbols so they travel safely in a URL, or decode a %XX-escaped string back to readable text. It distinguishes the two common needs — encoding a whole URL versus encoding a single component — which mirrors JavaScript's encodeURI and encodeURIComponent. All processing is local, nothing is uploaded.
