📖 How to Use

Choose whether you want to Encode or Decode. Paste your target text or URL string inside the input box. The tool automatically computes percent-encoding or decoding. If it's a decoded URL, it breaks down protocols, hostnames, anchors, paths, and formats query parameters in a searchable key-value list.

🛡️ Why Use This Tool

URLs can only contain characters from the US-ASCII character set. Characters outside this set, or characters with special syntactic meaning (like spaces, ?, &, or =), must be percent-encoded to prevent conflicts in API requests and web routing. This tool runs client-side to keep your queried links secure and private.

Frequently Asked Questions

URL encoding converts disallowed characters into a percent symbol (%) followed by two hexadecimal digits representing their UTF-8 character code (e.g., a space becomes %20).
