URL Encoder/Decoder
Encode and decode URLs and URL parameters instantly
Tips & Important Information
- 1URL encoding converts special characters into a format that can be safely transmitted in URLs. Spaces become %20, & becomes %26, etc.
- 2Always encode URL parameters that contain user input, special characters, or non-ASCII characters to avoid errors.
- 3URL encoding is also called percent-encoding because it uses % followed by two hexadecimal digits.
- 4Common characters that need encoding: spaces, #, %, &, +, ?, =, /, :, and non-English characters.
- 5All encoding and decoding happens in your browser - your URLs are never sent to our servers or stored anywhere.
